FlashaholicRUU_v1_1 performs task 29 and therefore clears the phone memory leading to erasing the rom. Your phone has no more OS at this point.

You need a rom image in the same folder as FlashaholicRUU_v1_1.

When FlashaholicRUU_v1_1 reaches 100% hold vol down button until you reach bootloader mode (striped screen) and that you see "usb" written on the screen.

Relase vol down button and proceed with rom flash

Use it fine on my Win7 (in fact I don't have older windows any more).

Maybe UAC?

Radio update

Looks like ma great tool! I'll try it as soon as I get my HD2 back from repair...

Can we use it to update a new Radio as well? How? Just put the radio file in the same folder?

Thanks

Edu
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cliver:
Yes I used it to flash a radio then a new rom. As you say put it in the same folder as if you were flashing a rom. Don't let it do the task 29 though, just hit esc to move on to the next stage.

Just to be clear you can only do one at a time, either rom or radio (sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs ;-)

Worked fine for me. Thanks appelflap great work :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devabhishek:
i am not new to flashing roms or radios, or doing a task29 before every flashing..

but i just read in the first post that

"This program will take you through the steps of performing a Task29 (formatting your roms storage memory) and then flashing a new rom. It is not advised to use this if you are totally new to flashing roms as if it is done incorrectly you will end up with no rom on your phone and a permanent look of terror on your face"

so i just wanted to know what are the things that could possibly go wrong and any device would be bricked...

my question is .. what are the possible ways of bricking an hd2 using this rom utility..

i am asking this so that i avoid doing all those things..

:):):)..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NLS:
Possibly nothing - he just HAD to write that part.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cliver:
If you follow the instructions in post one you will be fine. Make sure your rom/radio is in the folder with nothing else apart from this util and follow the instructions to the letter. I did and it works fine :)

As with all things no guarantee is implied here ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devabhishek:
my dear friend .. i have flashed hundreds of roms.. and i m not new to flashing

but i was just curious to know , if there is anyway the phone gets bricked..

cozz.. no matter what you do... if you remove your device accidentally while in the process of flashing.. and if you have hspl , you can easily do a task29 (format)

and again get back to the flashing process..

i was just curious to know if there is any possible way other than flashing a completely different rom or radio on the device that an hd2 would be bricked

.........i know hd2 is a solid device .. and bricking it would need just bad luck..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cliver:
I was just trying to be helpful!!

The only way you will brick it is if you don't follow the instructions, the software even tells you onscreen not to unplug/start applications etc.. As I said in my post, follow the instructions!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheRomMistress:
Fruu is actually a very safe program...I have used it dozens upon dozens of times with no issues. Like the previous poster said, as long as you follow instructions you should be perfectly fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fistikuffs:
Amazing. Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NIKOSXRI:
The only way to brick your phone is to flash a radio that is for another device
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] softtouch:
I always get communication error.

I start the fruu, it perform task29, a progressbar appears, and stays at 0%. After a while, I just get a communication error.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Any clue how i can flash it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] novaci:

I've been a little scared of performing a Task 29 but your app made it as simple as can be!

Have you installed HSPL?

On the bootloader, what is the SPL version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] marsbar 1:
Hi, I need some help. I have searched the forum for a answer before posting my question. Either I missed the signifigance of a response or couldn't find a answer.

Either way I do appologise is if my question is a repeat.

I used the FRUU as indicated but I got something wrong towards the end. I have 3yr old twins who choose the worst moment to give dad crap.

In short I cant quite say with certainty what I didnt do but I have ended up with my Angel (HD2) being dead in some form. My phone boots up into a loading screen with no OS currently installed to load.

I have tried to enter the bootloader with limited success or I am missing something.

Holding down both keys get me into a reset option with a reload at the end which doesnt work because I dont have a installed rom.

Keys down or up just load into the loading screen. The bootloader screen appears for 2seconds before changing into the loading screen. To my knowledge I do have HSPL installed.

Any help would be appreciated as I really miss my Angel (HD2) and would really like to get her working again.

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
It seems that your rom was erased already. Assuming that you have SPL 2.08 HSPL installed, then you still can flash the rom (other than the rom with SPL 3.03). You can use Custom RUU (instead of FRUU)

Make sure your baterry is full. Try to flash using via active sync (dont forget to turn off the antivirus).

cheers...

Hi Silverwind

Thanks for the comments. I do understand that my rom was deleted. My problem is that I get this loading please wait screen which I cant get passed. Active sync isnt seeing my phone and access to the bootloader options seem to be not available. The only one that seems to load is the reset manufacturers setting option.

I havent tried disabling my anti virus, will try that. Any other assistance from the forum as to how to restore my pride and joy, I would appreciate.

Regards,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Ok. Let s go further.

So you said that access to bootloader options seem to be not available, right?

However, the fact that you said that you see the loading wait screen (the white color screen) means that you are not in bootloader.

You know that you can go into bootloader in TWO ways, right?

I understand that you want to access bootloader after OS is loaded but you cannot do it because it always stop at loading screen, correct me if I m wrong.

Have you tried to access boot loader by pressing the volume down button and power on button at the same time (when the phone is off). If doing this doesnt bring your phone into bootloader, then then I dont have any other suggestions..

Cheers....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] marsbar 1:
again, thanks silverwind for your time.

Sorry the loading screen is black with white letters (loading) being shown.

the black screen doesnt reflect any HTC logos, what it does reflect is 2 images/icons in the bottom right corner from previous 2 winmo versions installed.

the volume down key hold unfortunately doesn't take me to the bootloader.

The only time I can even see the tri colour bootloader screen is when I select both volume keys with a reset. it reflects for 2 seconds before moving on to the loading screen described above.

I have repeatedly done the above to be able to confirm the at HSPL 3 is still reflected.

What is baffling me is that I cant find out what I did or where i stand. I have not found a similar representation of my problem. This has made it impossible to find a working solution.

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi,

If you press both vol down and vol up and power on buttons, it will bring the phone to hardreset.

You said you press the vol down button but cannot go into bootloader. I assume that you didnt press the power on button at the same time.

How about repeating this ways bro, (1) turn off your phone, (2) press vol down (dont plug the cable to PC, in this stage the phone is still off), (3) now

while

you keep pressing the vol down button, try to press the power on button until few second and it will bring to bootloader screen. If you achieve this, you should check the white color part (below of your phone) whether it is stated "serial". Now you can plug the cable to your pc.

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] marsbar 1:
Hi

I understand now that the black screen that i get is a loading screen image left over from my previous rom.

Unfortunately I have done a proper vol down with power restart as you have described with no luck. The dam phone goes straight to the loading screen.

Usb connection via active sync is a no go, with even no connection or recognition by windows. Checked across both win 7 and xp.

When i do the Hard reset, I do see the tri colour screen for 2 seconds before it goes to the loading screen described.

I am stumped as to my options, thinking of taking my brick in to a authorised repair branch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Yeah, maybe it's a hardware failure/defect.

Goodluck bro :)

EDIT

: I forgot to ask you, have you tried installing ROM using Micro SD card?

If not, why dont you try this. Find your original stock rom (check the HTC Website or search in this Forum)

Extract the file using 7zip, find the file RUU_signed.nbh, rename it to leoimg.nbh.

Place it into the root of your Micro SD Card (use 2 GB, sandisk is preferable).

Put your card in the phone, now press the vol down and power on buttons at the same time.

It will lead you to the boot loader screen and asking you whether you want to flash the rom.

Press the power on button to start flashing. After completed, you pull out the battery, and turn it on.

Hope it will work..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] russpattaya:
Hi,

Have you tried to re-run the original Leo/HD2 Rom? Might help restore it back to original, as I had a similar prob with my phone. So after it went back to the original, I then had to start putting in the HSPL etc etc.

You're right, he can try using micro sd card method... I edited my previous post for that..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrre:
SOLVED! Followed the Guide in Post #5, than kept getting an error saying libncurse.so.5 cannot be found. I than opened the Package Manager and downloaded everything in the sun-java6-sdk and anything related to it. Than searched for anything of libncurse and installed those. than got a libc++ (or similar) missing than went back to Package Manager and download anything with libc++ in it. Afterwards, ran fine.

One quirk, as I'm sure this will be general knowledge to any Linux user but I am still a newbie at it. In root # i had to do ./adb to run the command, running just # abd gave me errors, exiting root back to $ alowed me to just use $ adb and not have to do ./adb

I know it's pretty shoddy, I think i downloaded 250MB of stuff I'm not sure I need. lol. I searched for the libncurse.so.5 file and had a lot of em, i think the package that actually did the trick was a ncurse32bit package, as I am on a 64 bit system. So take that into consideration

downloaded the android sdk, extracted it, however, when i use terminal and goto the tools folder and use adb

i get...

I read something about adding it to path, and i went into my .profile and added in the :/usr/bin/android-sdk/tools after the $PATH yaddayadda but it still didn't work.

Any help is appreciated. This is really the only thing keeping me from wiping the 120gb partition for Win7 and using Linux only(which only has a 21gb partition)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
Since the android sdk doesn't actually install on your computer but placed there by you, you must make sure everything is in place for it to work properly. I am relatively new to linux myself, but this is what i've done to get it working properly:

create /etc/init.d/adbd

you will need to do this as root.

gksu gedit /etc/init.d/adbd

paste this into the file

#!/bin/sh
#
# For ADB deamon (Android Device Bridge)
#
case "$1" in
start)
/usr/bin/android-sdk/tools/adb start-server
;;
stop)
/usr/bin/android-sdk/tools/adb kill-server
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start|stop" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac

now run this:

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/adbd /etc/rc2.d/S10adbd

What you just did there was make sure adb daemon started as root whenever you booted (if you don't start it as root you will get errors later on down the road)

I'm not sure about mint, but on ubuntu its easier to just add the tools folder to your /etc/environment file.

gksu gedit /etc/environment

the file should look something like this:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/bin/android-sdk/tools"

go ahead and reboot just to make sure everything sticks. You should be good from then on.

You could add the path to your profile, but then if you have to run something as sudo, or if you have another user trying to do something similar, it could be a headache. If you don't have a /etc/environment, or if the above still doesn't work, go ahead and see if you have a ~/.bashrc.

edit that:

gksu gedit ~/.bashrc

add this to the bottom:

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/bin/android-sdk/tools

let me know if this works, and if there are any more experienced linux users out there who notice any mistakes of mine, or have better advice please chip in. I just know I went through a huge amount of frustration to get adb to work properly, through much trial and error. this is the culmination of what i went through that was easiest for me. BTW i stole that code for the daemon to startup as root from somewhere else. :)

EDIT: I just realized my daemon is still not starting on boot? although, with the above script i can start it via:

sudo service adbd start

someone smarter than me, chip in and tell me what i'm doing wrong?

OP, you can always start the daemon yourself as root by typing

sudo /usr/bin/android-sdk/tools/adb start-server

EDIT: woops. I fixed the code above, as well as fixed my problem. on creating a link to rc2.d i typed "s10adbd" originally and it should be "S10adbd".

OP, this is a great example why paying attention to capital/lower case letters are super important when learning linux.

i changed my link and everything works on my system.

now that i think about it...i don't believe i downloaded a new java...

I'd download the stuff now but I'm tethering through my phone so i'm lucky to get 600kbps download speeds in this reception area.

I could step 10 feet outside and hit 1200kbps though. So i formatted the HD and reinstalled Linux Mint. Once i get home I'll look into the JDK as that makes sense now that I think about it to.
