After many attempts, I have tried to install again all, without restore backup (level 1) and all works magnificently.

With v43 I succeeded in flashing and data restore (backup Sprite, level 1), but with this rom it is necessary to install everything again

The result is fantastic!

This v44 is excellent. Very fluid and very fast (In comparison to v43 is better still)

Thanks Sir Sternas
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dic3ptor:
What!?! V44 is see. Damn i have no time to flash. I realy busy with my Technical draftsman exam! Hope that i find time fo flash a new version soon.

But thank you for the new ROM!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] adazamim:
Turn off your phone.

Press volume down and keep it pressed.

Turn on your phone to bootloader.

Varify that you have SPL 3.03 on

I f not, then this is the cause of your problem and you must reflash correctly (Check first post)

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
IRIS with "Windows Embedded Handheld" (is like WM6.5x+WP7)

I am waiting for first MS full release...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] molann:
Sir Sternas,

sorry I have to make a large quotation further..but this is a good case to describe the issue I notified you recently - sudden freeze and HardReset following..

As I`ve already mentioned I`ve seen several matching reports. Generally speaking, all our usual recommendations were fulfilled (HSPL removed, stock ROM flashed before, HardReset, etc..). No customizations involved (several users reported this bug on a clean device in several hours after flashing).

Also recently I posted an observation from one of our users - last letter ("U") in protocol version changed itself to "W" prior to freezing and HardResetting.

But I don`t experience this issue (as the most of the thread visitors too).

The only thing in common, which I can suggest from the above (and the fact, that symptoms are similar to having a HSPL installed): this affected only gray devices.

So I have two ideas:

1. current (which is rather old) SSPL has some hidden bug which sometimes reveals itself with 3.14 ROMs.

2. there is some correlation with native device` region (thus locale) and firmware` locale (in the case below it`s Hong-Kong - Russian).

thanks for all you advice on this issue, but we`ve already tried all this (see above) - as I`ve already said, it`s quite a frequent issue for russian thread).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cleanproject:
thanks sire fore you faste reply, and when do you think, a ful MS it's available? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
Please somebody help...I am one step before send him for repair, except maybe a kind soul could give me a clue what to do further...That's the story..:

Tryed to upgrade from v37 nld to v44 nld. Steps i did:

-Removed hspl2 with HSPL2_RUN.exe, went back to bootloader 1.66.0000.

That i verified looking to bootlader mode.

-With the serial number of my phone i downloaded the latest update from

htc webside, and from bootloader mode because v37 don't work with spl 1.66.0000

i flash RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NLD_3.14.404.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship into the phone.

From that moment began the problems. Device didn't load the rom. Crashed direct after first screen. I go to bootloader mode again, look at spl, was SPL 3.03.0000 like it needs to be after the latest update. Tryed to flash again, through bootloader mode again, flash seems to succed, but rom didn't load again...

I though, i need to go to an original full working rom first, and then try through today screen and Windows Mobile Device Center, to flash the latest official update rom....

So, i flashed the first original rom, v1.66.404.1 nld with radio 2.06.51.07.

And now, it seems that i stucked on this, officially already passed rom, because:

- Every time i try to flash, update tool will give error, wrong device ID, while with the correct serial number of my device i downloaded the update. Tryed different usb poorts, tryed with antivirus and sleep modus switched off, tryed to another computer (my windows 7 laptop) still the same error, wrong device ID...

- Not only the official update, but whatever i try, for example put HSPL2 back,

try to flash another rom, on every tool it gives error wrong device ID.

- And, now, after every soft reset, a popup appears with the following error:

I2C Error

The device ID is b8

The status is 0

Please check it

Device is not stamble anymore, it reboots smtimes without a reason, and often stucks on a white htc screen...

I really don't know what else to do...it seems i stucked to that old rom and with that I2C Error....

Please, if somebody has a clue feel free to share your idea with me...

Thank's in advance...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
I will check this Sir

but all these cases are samples of NOT correct flash Stock ROM procedure...

Removing HSPL is the first action and from SD Card...

"1) Cotulla HSPL 1.66

2) Task 29

3) Install 3.14 through Memory Card, for my region

4) SPL 3.03 (after installing the official firmware changes SPL)

5) Install Artemis 44 through SSPL

6) Hard Reset

3-4 hours work. Next my phone hover. I turned off / on. Phone automatically made hard reset."

How someone flash Stock ROM from SD Card? only with HSPL...

After the above procedure the HSPL remain in the phone...

Remove HSPL and from SD Card...

to flash Stock 3.14 you must run stock executable
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
My suggestion is to ask HSPL thread, Sir

Did you remove SD Card before Stock 3.14 Flash?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
First time no, second yes...:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
Sir, your phone has SPL 3.03.0000 now?

press vol down + power = boot-loader screen

and check your SPL...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
No, sir, it has:

aaaaaaa HX-BC

SPL-1.66.0000 XE

Did you download from HTC site, Stock ROM 3.14 for

your phone S/N

, Sir
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
Yes i did sir. Totally 3 times, with the same result.

Begins to flash, and on 1% it stops giving wrong device id error...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kurt-willems:
This error means that the Rom version you try to install don't match with your device. (Other aria ROM ore you have a branded device!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
Did you flash Stock ROM from Boot loader (VolDown+PowerOn) ?

step-by-step to find the problem...

++Sir but I must help...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] molann:
Thanks for your answer Sir. I guess we have international misunderstanding here) - it`s just an issue of translation - he excused for a bad English already by the way)).

What he wanted to say, is that he HAD a HSPL in the beginning of the whole procedure - he tries to describe the algorithm from scratch to give us as much facts as possible.

But nevertheless, I will stress our attention on this point.

Flashing stock ROM from SD (extracting .nbh from an archive, renaming to leoimg.nbh) does overrides HSPL with a proper SPL. So this is what he`ve done.

But to gather some statistics, I`ll ask our users to clarify which way they used (1. via HSPL2; 2. flashing via SD) to remove HSPL. I`ve chose the first one, so may be this is the root of issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
NO Sir, doesn't overrides the boot-code from HSPL

Please, Remove HSPL and flash stock ROM (Simple execute Stock ROM EXE)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
but sir,

4) Uninstallation

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.

from hspl thread HERE

is this not correct? ... it worked for me...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] molann:
OOoh..That`s news for me and lots of other I guess. So if we flash stock ROM via SD and bootloader states SPL3.03 there are some leftovers from HSPL still? If I got you right - definitely it should be a reason of the issue.

But it does sound quite weird for me - since other Chefs also do consider this method as a second way to remove HSPL...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
Let's test this

Remove HSPL with HSPL2_RUN.exe (flash SPL 1.66.0000 with HSPL2_RUN.exe)

here from Artemis first page...

Here on version 44 NLD, all works fine sir.

But honestly I must say flashing one of your ROM's over a previous ROM of you caused some problems (hard to flash, and if it worked to flash it was instable) I have note (personal experience) that flashing back on stock ROM 3.14 and than flashing the new Artemis version works directly and is much more stable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] geppo1975:
i've flashed v44 yesterday...from 1.66 flash 3.14 by exe on my pc(this set spl to 3.03)and than flash v44:ALL works well...thanks Sir;)....i'm between that 5000!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
may i ask, what happend after you said you flashed v41 and having no problems with it... after that you wrote, you upgraded from v37 to v44 ... or at least tried... if you have flashed new stock before, why download another one again?

maybe i didn't get everything here...

does your provider (o2, vodafone, t-mobile...) not provide you with any original rom from their webpage? so that you can try another than that from htc website... and have you tried to flash it with sdcard method? have you tried another sdcard? have you tried goldcard method? (even if your device is not branded!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mayone:
Hi Sir... no better news. same problem. It seems to be not a weather tab problem but HTC localization. In the meteo options doesn't appear the voice "this location" (in Italian: Località)

Same problem for me; if I trying to download weather info with GPRS the location is modified with the name of region but if I do it via active sync works correctly.

But is not a problem of Artemis Rom because I've installed v.44 from thursday and this indication has been correct until yesterday.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mayone:
how I can sync the location via activesync?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rosetti:
Great ROM so far!!

Could you please tell me if you changed the camera drivers or are they from the official 3.14 Stock ROM?

I was comparing a picture I made yesterday in a room without daylight. One with my HD2 Artemis v.44 ROM and the other with HD2 1.66 Stock ROM.

The picture with the 1.66 ROM made had no screen interferences but mine has.

I dont know if it is just the HD2 but since a few times I was just impressed what great pictures it makes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
when you are connected via activesync (usb), all data is send/recieved automatically from the internet connection of your pc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
Well, i mananged to get a goldcard.img for my sd-card, from psas,

put it together with LEOIMG.nbh on a fresh formated micro-sd,

got bootloader, and guess what...no menu appeared to continue to write the ROM...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
as i said before... do you have more than one sdcard? maybe it's a hardware failure of your card. goldcard seems to have problems with big sdcards as well... do you have a 512mb (instead of 4 or 8gb) card maybe? ... you need to create a new goldcard with the new serial of the card than... ... i have no more ideas i think... (if you flashed a rom before on your device... ... have you tried hardreset, instead of just bootloader mode?)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uli71:
Have you ever read flashing notes by oliverweidel what to to with goldcard.img file?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mitsos:
Dearest, i used a 2gb brand new microsd. Is not that big...

And that's exactly the problem. It would not allow to flash something

else. Flashing procces is stops on 1% with wrong id error. So the hspl2

tool also...It seems i stucked into an old rom, which don't ever recognise

my sim card. So no phone, no nothing...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
even a 'brand new' card can be currupt.. anyhow... a flash without sd and with bootloader and 'usb' connect should work. ... so maybe there really is no hope... maybe some other user has better ideas... (never heard of such problem... so i think there must be something that could be done, or has been done, but wrong... sorry)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Dear Sir Sternas,

I also could say that I'm one of the 5000, but I want to say it otherwise: V44 is the best ROM you ever build! It's stable, fast, smooth and fully compatible with the latest Android builds. As you already may have read, I'm using for the moment a dual boot prog, which works flawlesly. WinMo 6.5.5. with your ROM on it, is IMHO far superior over Android and the more I look into Android, the more I think that Android is more or less a kind of SPB Mobile Shell clone in OS form.

yours truly, Kuzibri

Upgrade from 42v

Hi,

I wish to upgrade my older version (v.43) with this new one.

Is it correct that I've to re-install the official 3.14 version and than v44 one as the first time???

Or it is sufficient to directly install (by sd card or by SSL) this new version?

It is necessary TASK 29 before this?

Task29 is compatible with SPL 3.03?

Thank for your help

desprez
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
you must not use task29 ... it is not compatible...

you have to use sspl...

for a lot users, it is sufficient to directly install the new versions...

but others had problems this way...

i would advise to first flash original rom again, than artemis with sspl... it's only five more minutes!

ps: flashing stock rom before has similar effect as task29...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mayone:
first post sir...

FIRST TIME FLASH

1. Remove SD (and remove Application Data and Program Files folders from it using SD card reader)

2. Remove HSPL with HSPL2_RUN.exe (flash SPL 1.66.0000 with HSPL2_RUN.exe)

3. PowerOff the phone

4. Boot to bootloader (VolDown+PowerOn) and when it shows "USB" flash stock ROM by running matching RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe (get yours HERE or for Orange UK/FR HERE)

5. Hard Reset (when phone starts booting after step 4, remove the battery, insert it back press VolUp+VolDown and still holding both press PowerOn and follow the instructions)

6. Boot to homescreen.

7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v4X RUU_Signed_XXXX.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.

8. Hard reset (instructions in step 5)

9. when on homescreen - softreset.

10. Insert SD

UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS Artemis GEN IV

a. Remove SD (and remove Application Data and Program Files folders from it using SD card reader)

b. Hard reset (instructions in step 5 above)

c. Flash stock 3.14 ROM, get yours HERE (for Task28 - you can skip this, but it's recommended). If you have branded phone, read HERE

d. Hard reset (instructions in step 5 above)

e. Flash Artemis GEN IV ROM using SSPL method described above in step 7

f. Hard reset (instructions in step 5)

g. when on homescreen - softreset.

h. Insert SD
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
btw: the first hard reset does not make any sense for me in the instructions... it doesn't harm anyone or any device if it's done... but it is of no use i think...(as many users wrote: they flash stock rom, than hardreset... than flash custom rom... .. why hardreset in between?!) if you are about to flash another rom anyway... but maybe i'm wrong here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RolandCruise:
I agree with you.

The rationale of the stock rom flash is to take advantage of the task29 that the official rom upgrade utility performs while running, I think.

So a hardreset soon after this flash would only stabilize an installation that will not be used if not just until the SSPL procedure with the Artemis rom has been performed.

That's just what I think about this topic and I can say that following this steps I'm not having any problems so far ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
yes, thank you. i mean, it's ok to do so... but... many users say, that it's a lot to do to flash custom rom... to skip this, it would be a few minutes less for them ;)
