last one tried was OzROM 1.50 23544. First thing I did was flashing radio 2.08.50.08_2 but after flashing OzROM phone is stuck at orange windows screen with progress bar 1/4 full. Then I removed the batery and flash radio 2.06.51.07 and phone somehow manage to start. Wi-fi is working and there was a GSM signal but when I make the call or somebody call me there is no sound and after that phone is frozen, only keys backlight is on.

With other ROMs (Miri_HD2_WM65X_23545_Sense25_V8.0, TOUCH_X_TREME_23544_1_2_35_45, MaesusLeo_28232_V1.7_Max) I was able to start the phone but only with 2.06 radio with similar results.

Original 1.66.479_2WWE_EastEurope works with 2.08.50.08_2 radio.

I am confused.

Can you try a Rom with a radio included such as Duttys or Laurentius26 Ultimate Rom? Im sure its some sort of Radio problem than with your phone or the Rom.

Restored to SPL 1.42 and got HSPL but no more 3G/H only E

Finally... I managed to get back to 1.42. Seems like the culprit was a Test ROM 2.02 that put the SPL to 2.00.1000 and once I got the TMO 2.01 ROM this restored the SPL to 1.42.

I Hard SPL'd right away and flashed TMO 2.10 ROM however I do not get 3G anymore.

I used to when I had the SPL 2.00.1000. I know the HD2 I have supports the 3G bands.

Interestingly the UI under the Settings for PHone do not show the AWS bands but still shows for UMTS 900/2100 vs. 1700.2100 which TMO uses.

Pointers will be appreciated to get HSPDA or UMTS working. For now I have forced to stay on Edge as the phone fails to lock when on HSDPA.

Tried flashing the radio with Custom RUU still no dice.

Thanks.

tried to use the serial numbers on the htc website....it works i got the download but it will not install on to my phone because the SN do not match im assuming, its says invalid vendor ID :(

Unless you use hspl or sspl you will only be allowed to flash roms provided by your operator/vendor, hence the invalid vendor id error.

Bad news :-(

Hi all!

I did bad thinks ... i flashed my new HD2 (german with t-mobile branding) with a ROM >2.01 ... and it doesnt start even after a hard reset. I read here that i have to update the RADIO to (example) 2.08.50.08 ... but when i try this i get an error (invalid ID). I tried to

NOW i saw this here:

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!!

Is there any hope to get my device back?

The probleme here is that there is no "original t-mobile ROM" to load in germany .... i really hate them (and myself).

Hmm, i´m not allow to LINK here ... i copy my first question in another threat here again:

I flashed my new HD2 with t-mobile branding (german) with this nice ROM, using the SSPL_RUU.exe i found on the homepage.

Like jonasPR, the install was successful, then the HD2 reboots ... startet the first time and "installed" itself ... automaticly reboots ... and now nothing happen. When i turn it on, there is a circle on the screen ... an nothing happen.

I tried a hard reset, it "installed" again an automatically reboots ... same problem.

I tried to flash the ROM again even with other ROMs, pressing the button so the device dont start, but im not allow to (wrong ID -> different CID). Or is starts to 1% an then an error comes. I think this is because the device has the t-mobile branding.

On more problem; the device is not allow to flash from the sd-card. I get the message "00028002 not allow" ...

Oh, i even tried to install this (i read here) Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 and other "reversions" ... same problem (different CID or error)

I hope somebody can help me ...

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] miksi:
There is problem with cooked ROMs v2.10, at least with my HD2 which is 8585 model. If anybody had success flashing such a ROM and end up with normaly working phone please let me and others know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
do you always end up stuck at very first start screen? phone wont boot at all?

boot into bootloader, flash a radio 2.07 or 2.08 from usb, restart phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
Hi samsamuel,

i CANT flash to a new RADIO (i have written before), that IS the problem. :o

Greetings
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
ahh ok.just looked through your post history.

when you boot to boot loader now, what does it say by spl?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
It show´s:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

Micro(TOUCH) 0x40

When i hard reset, it show´s

R 2.04.50. 22_2

G 15.26.50.07U

D 2.10.82076 8G

then started the installtion, resets ... and do nothing (just showing the circle).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
And that shows why you can't flash a new radio. In order for you to flash a radio you require hspl. After installation of hspl your spl version should show 1.42.hspl. This will allow you to flash radios and any Leo rom.

Put the phone into bootloader, run hspl, then flash the radio to 2.08 (preferred for most new cooked roms) and then your rom of choice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
Nice idea, but i tried to HSPL before ... AFTER i flashed to the "wrong" ROM (> 2.01). After this i saw this message here:

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!!

The HD2 show´s "ur hacked" and everthing seemed fine ... but ich still had the problem i described before. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
But you are saying that your spl is 1.42.0000 and not spl 2.* as stated in your bolded quote :confused: With spl 1.42.0000 you should be able to run hspl.exe.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
OH, hmmm, ur right.

THAT ist really confusing me ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
I cant believe it, it works now! I´m the happiest owner @ this moment :D:D:D:D

Thank u all for that great help, i was so afraid that i killed my new HD2 4ever!

After i HSPL it on a diffrent XP Maschine again, the RADIO could be installed.

Thanks all!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Have you tried running hspl with the spl at 1.42.0000? What happened. I think the warning was only applicable if you have an spl of 2.* and then tried to run hspl. If spl is 1.42.0000 hspl will work.

Edit: Ok, I see you flashed it again and hspl worked. Glad it worked out :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
hah good job. stay away from sd card flashing and hspl will keep you safe.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcpromo:
I didnt flash the ROM with the SD Card, this function didnt work before (after HSPL maybe). I´m just glad that everythink is all right now.

This ROM here is VERY nice, so thanks for that too.

Ok... Thank you so much for this thread and the effort made to create this method..

Now, i'm new here and i seriously cannot read 60 pages to see if my problem has been encountered and solved by someone before. So, if you know that it that it has, just point at it to me please :D

My HTC HD2 has stopped booting up. It stops at the white screen where the green "htc" and red information at the bottom..

My question is simple,

right in the very second step you said:

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

It doesn't detect it at all.... its all off! i try to run the HSPL but i get a time out error with no connection..

Help, and i apologize if i asked something that has been previously asked..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Firstly, what spl version do you currently have? The non boot-up is most likely due to having the incorrect radio.

Which rom are you using? If it's one of the later cooked roms these require at least v2.07 and most chefs recommend 2.08

In order to install hslp you require an spl of 1.42.0000, and you require hspl in order to install a different radio, which in turn is needed for the rom to boot.

You say hspl times out - what error message do you get? You can try connecting the usb to the rear of the pc and try running hspl.exe as Administrator.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MarkyMark8609:
Just a quick one, I've downloaded the O2 1.43 ROM (RUU_Leo_O2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe) as backup incase I ever need to send the phone for warrenty repairs.

However in the original post it says to the the RUU_Signed file you need to rename the file extension to .zip then open it in WinZip. I've done this and when I try to open it as a ZIP file I just get a message saying that it's not a valid ZIP file and it won't open :(

Could someone shed any light on what I'm doing wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no, you change the .exe file to a zip. If you have the ruu_signed.nbh file already, then you have already done the unzip part.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No need to change the extension from exe to zip. Just right click on the exe file and select "Extract here". This will unpack the files and you will then get your nbh file amongst others.

First Flash

Hi all!!!

I'd been flashing custom\ ROMS in my Hermes for about two years.

I finally get a Leo and reading this post seems like the rules of the game have change a little bit, leaving me with two questions:

May I flash the HSPL just by syncing the phone first via Bluetooth? or is an USB connection compulsory?

I'm quite confused now :confused:. I've been flashing custom ROMS from a SDCard all the time in my Hermes (It used to be the safest way). It is safer to flash via ActiveSync now?

To my knowledge, all the cooked and released ROMS in this forum don't carry any SPL information. Am I safe??

This is embarrassing for me :p I used to know this regarding Hermes ROMS, but now I am a newbie again when it comes to the Leo ROMS.

All the best
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JMC1961:
WARNING !!!!

WHEN I TRIED TO LOAD YOUR ZIP FILE I GOT THIS!!!!

"Trojan-Spy.Win32.Ardamax.dbi" found!!!

Can you please fix this?!?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
The sync isn't in itself compulsory. Sync however you like, however hspl must be installed over an active USB connection.

cooked roms DONT contain an spl and are therefore safe to flash from sd card.

Basically, people have started simply saiying 'avoid sd card flashing' because lots (at least a few dozen) have flashed the 2.x spl because they flashed using sd card, OR, they flashed a stock 1.66 rom, which also upgraded their spl. (The 1.66 isn't as bad, because it can be downgraded, but it's not obvious.)

The simple answer is to not use sd card. (Not to mention sd card flashing takes at least 3 times as long as USB flashing, probably more. A usb cooked rom takes around 1 minute to flash over usb, more like 10 on sd card.)

If you are confortable using sd card, by all means do so, but don't come back here next week telling us about your £400 paperweight!! hehe

I'v tried to downgrade from my SPL 1.66.0000 with 4 different Official ROM's now, am i doing something wrong? I get "invalid vendor ID" @ 1% of ROM installation. Using ActiveSync and Win7, or should i extract the RUU file and use SSPL?

I have the latest official 1.66 SVE ROM and i cant find any earlier SVE roms, am i stuck or is there a way to get the #@% SPL 1.42 in to my phone? (so i can get HSPL)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
to affect the spl you should be using sd card.

extract ruu signed

copy to sd card

rename to leoimg.nbh

reboot phone holding down vol.

(though I suspect you are using the wrong rom anyway, it needs to match your vendor.

if you can't find a vendor 1.43 or 1.48 rom then you will need a gold card)

:rolleyes::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Im sorry but the only way you can downgrade your spl is to somehow find a stock 1.43 or 1.48 SVE Rom as you have to flash the same language as you have on now.

On the other hand if you are happy to try goldcarding your device( see *HERE* for more info) then im willing to help. Follow the instructions in the first post of the link I provided and send me the serial number of your storage card (the 2GB card provided with your phone is preferable). I will send you back a goldcard image which you can use to flash any language stock rom to your device and downgrade the spl.

If you want to try it then flash via activesync and it will not overwrite your HardSPL. If you do not have HardSPL then I would advise installing it as it makes flashing alot safer.

error [262] during USB Flash

I got stuck in the flashing business, :o

according to the advises I previously used Hspl,

then I installed OzROM 1.60 23545.

It worked ok but because it was in English I wanted to return to the

Dutch 1,66 official ROM.

I received errorcodes so I decided to install it from scratch; SD,

I have read that I should loose the HSPL but because it was official I thought it wasn't a problem.

But I could not make it work, now I am stuck in code [262],

I can recover(herstellen?) the process by disconnecting usb, removing the battery, installing the battery, putting the HD2 on and pressing next it begins the update again, ending in the same errorcode 262,

then you can go into the loop endlessly. :mad:

I am using my windows 7 laptop, virus disabled

I also tried to install it from another Vista computer, virus disabled

I tried different ROMs, also a 2.10 official, not dutch ROM

now i am trying 1.43. official.

On the HD screen during install I only see htc and a bar at 0%

Th computer starts with 0% and ends at 0 before the errorcode appears

after a few minutes.

I don't see the coloured screen anymore.

When I use the SD method, It says:

softwareupdate failed, try again

shortly followed by a white screen with blue letters loading,

that takes a very long time, (I waited long, but now I will wait until that stops.)

When I disconnect the HD2 rom the computer start it with no SD card in it I see the coloured screen:

HX-BC

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

Anyone an idea how to solve this problem? :confused::confused:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you didn't use the correct stock rom for your device.

from sd card? oops

You are now stuck with spl 2.08 (until hspl2 comes along)and nothing you do will allow you to downgrade that spl. You are stuck with roms built for spl 2.08. I 'think' you can flash some roms now via sspl, but no radio's.

There are several threads about this, have a look at the threads here and here (there are more) to get an idea of your situation.

Sorry
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Sounds like someone sold you a phone that they had flashed the Stock 2.10 Rom on via microsd card. There is currently no way to downgrade your SPL so that means you cant install HardSPL on your phone. You should be able to flash certain newer roms via sspl but thats about it.
