Top Tips, Useful Things & F.A.Q's!

For The REALLY Lazy Man - A Folder Which Already Contains The CustomRUU,

Just Drag And Drop Your Rom File (.nbh) In Here And Run The CustomRUU! **Download** (Extract The Folder From The Zip File)

Making any changes to your phone using HSPL WILL void your warranty, and even if you remove HSPL and, for example, you have a custom rom still on your phone, your warranty will be void. However you can revert anything you do with HSPL thus getting back your warranty, I will make sure each method is on this thread, just make sure to revert everything changed with HSPL before you remove it.

Can I flash backwards? as in - From 1.61 to 1.48. Yes you can, you can flash any rom to any other rom with HSPL (thanks mskip for filling me in ;))

Always back up your phone. I recomend SPB Backup, it can backup not only contacts, but your whole system (programs, reg tweaks ect) however you may encounter problems if you try to restore everything, because the backup may have been made on a different version of manila/windows mobile

Hard resetting after a flash is usually recomended, it will optimize the rom

Always bare in mind the 2 main different manila versions (2.5.XXXX), 1921 and 1922. 1921 is the older one and so has more mods and tweaks designed specifically for it. 1922 is the newest and not yet totally stable version which doesnt support much yet, (however patchs and updates are starting to surface such as one for HDWall and 25 Shortcuts

If you are getting good signal ect with your current rom, make sure you take note of the radio version, it may be a good idea to back your old radio after flashing a rom if signal is not as good

Usually you will not have to reapply HTC hotfixes as most cooked roms include them in the package, however make sure there arent any recent updates which may not have been cooked in.

Side Note: All camera tweaks from xda users are usually pre cooked in aswell. (Talk about instant meals!)

3. How To Flash a Custom Rom Via Micro SD Card

[LINK][Estimated Time: 15 Minutes]

Description: This video is supposed to show you the process of flashing a custom rom to your device using the supplied standard micro SD card.

[/QUOTE]

Hi,

Nice work, but i dont agree with this video.

you DO NOT have to format the SD card every time you flash.

you just copy it over and and start the flash!

Nice vids though, just abit misleading! and to be honest takes a long time, I have 4Gb of data on an 8Gb card, for me to copy it off, format, flash and copy it back would take the best part of 90 mins!!

SS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Huh.. It takes me with my 16gb one about 5 seconds to quick format once Ive dragged things off, Ive heard it is a safe bet so Im gonna leave it like that unless loads moer people feel the same way, Thanks though :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wacky.banana:
To the OP,

Well done for putting these videos up. Should help a few people to better visualise what they need to do.

@ Silicon Squirrel,

You may be right re your point on formatting but I see it as good practice as it forces people to double check that the card is formatted in FAT 32 (a common problem).

WB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Thanks :) And yeah thats a good point:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SiliconSquirrel:
Ok, but once you have done in once you dont need to do it again!! the card doesnt just randomly change file system while in use!!

so yeah i agree format it ONCE the first time you do it, other than that it is a waste of time!

I have never in 15 years of using computers and flash memory EVER heard of that!

SS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SiliconSquirrel:
Dont get me wrong, it was a constructive criticism.

maybe you could note the fact that they only need to do it once, the first time, to make sure the file system is FAT32. then they would save much time in the future!

Also i wasnt saying the format would be long, i was meaning the copying on and off that is a ball ache!!

SS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
thats true, it IS a ball ache xD
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] humungousfungusamongus:
Good vids and just to echo an above post that seeing it being done makes it so very simple and thanks very much, it certainly helps new people like myself get to grips quickly.

I'd just add in a couple of vids you might want to add a bubble of 'connect via active sync'

About the format thing, meh!.. you get a 2gig card with the phone which is useless really except for rom stuff and the like. I wouldn't bother moving stuff around, just swap the card over.

cheers!

R.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Ok I'll get on that soon, :)

And yeah, I just use the 2gb one that comes with it too

GREAT thread mate.... i got one problem now why didnt you do this a few years back when I was doing **** load of reading about this topic ;)

I got one question... to flash a stock ROM and to remove HSPL its the same .nbh file???

Cheers mate
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Haha sorry about that :D I only started learning this stuff since christmas when I got my first winmo device :D

Yes, you have to install the stock rom at the same time you remove hspl, because in effect, your installing the stock spl with it :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] humungousfungusamongus:
Got HSPL on and upgraded my rom / radio today, utterly easy! I don't ever know what the fuss was about - I did find myself checking the vids again to be on the safe side tho.

Just need something to remember all the reg tweaks etc now, rather than just contacts, or does such a thing not exist???:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
SPB backup backs up everything :) programs contact ect.. like an exact copy of the state your phone is in. Plus use it for contact backups instead of ppcpimbackup because it saves linked facebook accounts(if thats an issue with you)

Glad the videos helped, I was just the same as you, really nervous at first then realised it was all a piece of piss :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumitescp:

PLease help i wanna put it to the original...i never have problem with other HTC devices

and my device is unlocket and its unbrand.. its original htc no t-mobile or anything like that
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Well it looks like you havent got HSPL on at all if your SPL is 1.42.0000, so theres no need to worry.

Send me a photo of your bootloader, and I can try to confirm this. :)

Another way to test would be to try to flash a rom from a different country and see if it lets you, if it does then hspl is on, if it doesnt (the update will fail and nothing will be changed) then you havent got hspl. Make sure you try this using the oficial roms update utility (in other words from the exe you download) make sure you dont try to flash to from SD card.

(and btw, "that guy in the video" is me ;))

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeahbabyyeah:
Hi,

I'm hoping you can help. Trying to unistall hspl as i'm returning it for a new phone.

Have followed the steps:

formated sd to fat32

renamed RUU_signed to LEOIMG.nbh and put in on root sd

hold volum button down and start phone

It stops at the tri-color screen and it says serial in the white field. Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] papagogo:
Thank you for your great job here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeahbabyyeah:
Never mind guys, it was the ****ty sd card that came with the phone that messed things up. New card worked like a charm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Sorry I dont know how to create splash screens, (as of yet) but when I find out I will post it here :D)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Oh thats a relief, I was worried for you ;) But sorry to hear the card that came with yout phone sucked, I use that one for my flashing :/ I'd complain to HTC, just dont tell them how you found out it didnt work ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Geordie502:
Hi all

Thanks for creating the Videos (very basic just what people like myself need). Please has anyone Flashed there HD2 with any Custom Rom. The Phone will reboot and just go into Winmob 6.5. There is no Set-up Wizard or anything to set-up your Network. I have also noted when you hold down the Red Button and Power Down the phone it shows the Keyboard Set-up screen, however phone powers down. I have tried many times to Reflash and Hard reset and still no Set-up Wizard.

Please has anyone seen this or had this problem.

Thanks

Geordie
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Erm, are you just trying 1 rom? maybe its faulty (bad download ect) sometimes certain chefs dont use HTC's setup stuff and it all gets a bit jumbled, usually a press of the call end button usually loads everything up if its frozen or stuck around the setup stage :)

htc hd2 query

hi,

thanks for reply, i have checked the hspl as you told it is showing 1.43, so does it means to follow the steps u have given on this thread i will have to downgrade the software, if so how should i go about it.

many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Sorry, please explain further, have you installed HSPL yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcube26:
htc hd2 query

sorry mate, i was looking at wrong screen , yeah found the hspl it is 1.42 version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
good good. So, everything working?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zenkinz:
no, the problem with not being able to flash the splashscreen is not due to the limitation of the HSPL, but the lack of splash screen image in the ROM. You can easily cook a ROM with the splash nb image included and you should be able to change the splash screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Yes you can flash splash screens, I meant to change that thanks ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dcube26:
Thanx alot, i first tried with sd card but no success so finally got it done by using the usb method. :):):):)

Complete Noob question.

I've watched the video on removing HSPL i currently have HSPL installed and the 1.66 HTC official Rom on my phone but i want to remove the HSPL and install the new Vodafone 1.66 Rom so that i have my warranty back...

I have downloaded the new Rom and have it waiting on my desktop...

Watching the video the guy says to find the RUU.sign file and extract then rename Leo_IMG, the Rom i've downloaded doesn't give me the option to explore and extract files from it, it only gives me the option to open and install like any exe program, how do i get the RUU.sign file from the download.

Thanks and sorry if its a complete numpty question...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Get a program like winrar or 7zip and open it with that ;)

For example, with winrar installed, you should get the option

to "Open Archive" on the context menu when right clicking that

exe that you downloaded. It will be in there ;)

I do not post much as you can tell... I usually just read through. This has to be one of the most helpful posts since joining XDA. Thanx

For those who are wondering, most Micro SD cards come Fat32 if I'm not mistaken (the last (3) 16GB cards I've owned were Fat32 right out of the package). So having to re-format it would be a waste of time. Thus, upgrading the ROM with the SD card is without question MUCH faster than through the USB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Thanks :D

No worries :) and yeah about the cards, but it never is good to flash the sd card, incase you accidentaly flashed a stock rom ect... best not take the risk ;)

HSPL2 Failed please help

Hi all I was trying to install HSPL2 on My sim unlocked Leo when the install failed.

My SPL version is 1.42.0000 XE

When I try to install I get the following;

CRITICAL ERROR

Flow: 00000003

Error code: 00000004

I there any way around this or do I have to Gold Card it. The phone still boots up and works after the failed attempt.

Sorry I havent tried HSPL2 yet as there is no need for me too, and by the sound of it theres no need for you to either if you have 1.42 SPL (do you have one of the original older leos released in 2009 or the new TMOUS ones?)
