Instructions For Noobs (FlashaholicRUU)

Hope this will help for the one who like to read before doing something new.

Flashing using FlashaholicRUU:

1. Go into bootloader mode

How?

1.1 Switch off your Leo

1.2 Connect the USB cable. Push the volume down down button (don't let go) and push the switch on button. You can release the switch on button but not the volume down button just yet.

1.3 You will see the tri-colour line screen. Now check whether your phone has been HSPLed or not. If it's HSPLed, the screen will have something like, CotullaHSPL with the HSPL version like SPL-1.42.HSPL

(you can read about HSPL at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433

1.4 If it's not HSPLed, then go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 to read how to put HSPL on it.

2. When everything is ready, wait until the 'Serial' at the bottom screen (on the tri-colour screen) turned into 'USB' and run FlashaholicRUU.exe tu do task 29 routine. Now look at your phone and wait until the progress bar has reached 100%. Now quickly push the volume down button until the phone restart and enter the bootloader again.

When it's in the bootloader again, release the volume down button but don't close FlashaholicRUU utility. Just let it run on the background for now.

3. Now go to your Radio ROM folder (you have to download the Radio ROM first of course if it's not there. You can get it from http://www.vbnfiles.com/HD2 Common/Radios/ ), wait until the 'Serial' at the bottom screen (on the tri-colour screen) turned into 'USB' and run LeoCustomRUU.exe (I prefer radio 2.10.50.26 to other versions to be flashed on VBNROMs)

When the progress bar has reached 100%, you can wait until the device screen goes blank/black and/or immediately push the volume down button and wait until the device automatically restart and go into bootloader again.

Now close the the LeoCustomRUU utility.

4. Wait until the 'Serial' at the bottom screen (on the tri-colour screen) turned into 'USB'. Back to FlashaholicRUU utility to continue flashing the device with ROM. When the progress bar has reached 100% you can wait until the device screen goes blank/black and/or immediately push the volume down button and the volume up botton at the same time and wait until it said something like it's going to be formatted. Follow the onscreen instruction to format/hard reset the device.

Finish.

Hi,

I found a bug... address book contacts are not shown while filter is active...

See the screenshots!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cyphol:
I hope everybody will enjoy using VBNROMs like I do. Thank you Master Sanjeev for giving us opportunities to use your creations. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pathologo:
There are already many guides for that all over the forum...

Sanjeev didn't miss anything in his first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stirkac:
sanjeev, i'm using the 21667 version and i don't find battery life to be as good as it was in previous versions... i was always on .50.26 radio. It's still good, i don't mean any drain but still not the same as it used to be

Bugs wise there are none new-guys have already posted most, and experience in rom is comparable to version RC2.

maybe 25020 version is better?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] d3l1:
when will RC3.3 or better RC3.5 become public? I'd really like to try them out but I have no time to be part of a beta team that can test and report. I can only use and report issues that happen to me. Might that be enough to gain access to your beta builds?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
I hope thats good...my mind feels like spaghetti today..too much in Office :mad:

Will try to reproduce the error once I can stop flashing.... 7 flashes in 9 hours ! Cant be good for my HD2 :eek:

We will in collaboration with d.signs ... want to sort out base problems first ... in the meantime if someone can work on Manila files in tune with the Dark iconset theme by d.signs so that it all matches...it would be WONDERFUL :D :D

Thanks for the feedback ... I am including some rare battery drivers in 3.5B (not being used/tested by other chefs) ... just checking if they really help for few hours

3.5 I am hoping to make public , however, it will have some application bugs as already reported in previous threads .... after this public release I will work on the bugs one at a time without touching the base ... so we are moving towards a final STABLE ROM ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 2b2b:
hiho !

RC3.3-test tonight (6 hours): 98% - but in flightmode.. rest working fine-I'll keep radio .10 !

2 issues:

. I'm not able to paste something in opera 10 via myMobiler, also the "back"-key of the pc-keyboard is not working, other keys ok - IE working fine.. maybe an Opera issue ?

. how to define Opera as default browser? eg link inside mail -> opens IE :-(

me likes the configs, optimized for design and battery: weather@home but no animation, vibrates only when needed - and fell totally in love with the redlight-wallpaper - if You put this one as default - You'll get immediately another 1000 (nOObs ;-))) fans..

lOOkin' forward ;-) 2b2b
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cyphol:
Yes. It happens to me to.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Redlight wallpaper :confused: ... which one is that ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Beta 3.5.1 coming up in a few...

* Build 24622

* 'My Battery' driver mix

* More black wallpapers and new one as default

* 'My Touch' driver mix

* Email To bug fixed (thanks to birk)

* Taskbar flickering fix attempted (if anyone has any pointers feel free to point me in that direction)

_________

Will be released as RC 3.5 after Beta in 24 hours if it works out well...will include some fixes and additional app icons

It's not required in current beta ROMs.

watcher mentioned a 23128 version. Is this coming or was Watcher having a senile (sleep deprived) moment.:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
There was a 23128 in the beta 3.3, but I am guessing maybe he decided not to release it ...

Or maybe it will show back up ....

These are not the droids you are looking for ......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] profihacker:
Is the new rom not public?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ryuu55:
It is a beta, no public link. You need to be part of ▼'s beta team to d/l and use.

Opera v9.7 is not included. After installing the older version the icon should be working.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colouny:
Posting to share my impressions with you all.

1. Using the one that was released on 17/7/2010. Awesome i can come back home with about 10% battery left (that about 12 hours without charge). Mostly i use to listen streaming audio ~2hours about, 30-50 min of calls, ~10-15 texts. Email with push, browsing, weather updates every hour, and ~20 mins of TT nav.

2. Seems that i just dont want to flash anything else, I think i have already tried enough. Will stick to this one. :D

3. If from all what i have rad in previous posts, the newer versions are even better. Looking forward to next release...

Thanks ,

Subscribed, and waiting for news.

By the way i had only few issues, with it so its awesome.

1. When listening to streaming music, and when it goes to standby the sound starts breaking every X seconds, but when the back light is on, everything works flawlessly

2. Had some SOD's , had to soft reset.

And OH did i mention the speed, s**t it's awesome!!! Keep up the good work. cheers, will keep tracking the news....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 2b2b:

Get Version 3.5 when it's available for public. You won't regret it. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cyphol:
Sometimes, installing an older version over the cooked one (the new version) will hang the device. Version 10 renders better but 9.7 is multi-touchable (pinch and zoom capable). They will run separately, but some of the files is shared (I think). Hmmm...pros and cons is always there for an old and new release of apps. So we have to select carefully, which 9.7 build is the best one for the purpose. I've tried build 36000. It's running ok but made my device unstable after few minutes using it (inside VBNROM RC3.5.1 Beta).

When I uninstalled that 9.7 version, everything's going fine again. Hmmm... So if anybody manage to do it in a proper manner, please tell me what build number of the Opera 9.7 you are using. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Using this build, Opera_Browser_9_70_35541_0, and it seems to be working fine ...

Anybody can give me a quick feedback on battery for 3.5.1B and other issues noted.

I am so lazeeee :D but gonna organize the first post soon ... thanks to d.signs for updating the second post and more misc gfx ... !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Can't speak for everyone, but my battery life took a nose dive with the new one, it is still better than stock but not as good as 3.3, but the ROM is very stable, and fast,

No major issues to report, but I have not had the chance today to work it too hard ...

Thanks. I'll give a try when I get home.

Battery wise, hmmm....

My Leo is charged 100% at 6.00am this morning. Today I'm playing with it continuously, for 3 hrs with brightness at 50%. Now at, 12.22pm (6 hrs 22 minutes since full charged), the battery remain is 50%.

hi sir ty for the release of the new update it work fine... but i have 2 question.

1)can i manually delete the google map on my phone? as i cannot delete via remove program, cause i have my own mapking GPS program.

2)The quick link issue is back is there any fix cab releasing soon for that?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
1) Why do you want to delete google maps...just install yours and never use Google...how does that interfere ?

2) What quicklink issue are you facing now ? I was able to add quicklinks everywhere
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zkid2010:
this rom is teh hawt! :D Very nice work man, just wow. Very fast rom, rock solid thus far, and I'm a Chucky fan so this feels like home right out of the box as far as apps/icons and layout. I'm running your 3.6B WWE and will roll this throughout the day tomorrow. I'll also be at a full charge very soon so we'll give the batt performance a looksee too.

All in all very good first impression as I've been following your progress and have been dying to try some of these more 'exotic' builds I see you posting ;)

Anyway, looks good so far keep up the good work and most of all thanks for sharing!

Just flashed your 3.6B and will use it during the day. The first thing I saw is that the splash still says beta 3.5.1 ;) but that's just a graphical glitch. btw I switched to radio 2.10.50.26 because 2.12.xxx was draining my battery like hell the last few days.

will report back later. cheers

Sanjeev! I don't know what you do as your daily job but...you really good at cooking fast and stable ROMs so far. Now, I'm running 3.6B. My first impression is still "WOW AND WOW!!!" :eek: . I was once a cook when Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes) was the king. My ROM was named GM360. So I know, it's not that simple to do the job. So, congrats. Thumbs Up. ;)

Hey Sanjeev,

Am I being a total noob, but what is the latest 24620 based GTX rom, and where is the link??? If its RC3, then please forget allabout this, but if it is newer than that, then please, hook a brother up!!! Lol!!!

Cheers bro

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Thanks...appreciate it ... my office is gonna restrict net access soon so updates or new ROMs may be every 3rd/4th day after a few days from now... So cooking like crazy to get a stable base ready ... then upgrades and fixes are all easier to manage :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Yes its final RC 3.6 - GTX and Black - lets hope no last minute surprise pops up in the base :D

Only new inclusion is the HTC Messaging 1.8 from mobileunderground for now ... they are working towards a fix for improving high volume message loading in conversation mode ... that will be a cab once they release it

I want to run this for few days to see if any tweaking is needed. Once satisfied, I will start adding some new packages
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richierich:
One last question buddy,

In the last version of the GTX rom, I was unable to install a new taskbar (would install, but no icons would show up after reboot), as although the one provided is nice, I have some really cool ones I'd like to test.

Anyway we can get confirmation on that before flashing???

Thanks dude!!

RR
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
Thats difficult to tell because all custom taskbars come with their own version of dll and that may or may not be compatible with the packages I use...

Which one is it btw ?

difference between the builds

What the difference between the Build 23569, 25021 and 24622?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] v-b-n:
UI-wise only 1 I believe - Build 23569 has the Threaded Email system natively inbuilt ... on others its hacked.

Other than that its all subjective ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] d3l1:
just flashed RC 3.6 GTX and the font is TINY. when installing programs or changing settings the font is REALLY TINY! and when locking the phone it just shows the home screen and on the bottom it says "unlock", no slider nothing.
