need help with hard SPL.

hi all my t-mob hd2 is all messed up and it will get replaced so i installed 3.14 stock rom via pc.

And am wondering is it enough did that flash killed hard spl and if not how can i get rid of it to avoid warranty issues tx.

ninja edit:

i did try to use sd card and failed to install fresh rom and spl it will not move past boot screen.

i did try to install hspl2/3 and pop out window say usb connection failed and i cant make it sinc with pc no mater what i do(fast disk and internet connection via usb work just not active sinc)

i expect new phone to come in day or two and i need to ship this one then and i need help to A) figure out what to do so i can start flash from sd card( i formated/copied/renamed file needed)

or B) how to make this wreck of phone sinc with brand new computer any and i mean any help is greatly appreciated
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Boot up the phone into BootLoader Mode (with phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button then tap the Power button). You will see the coloured banded screen which shows the SPL version and also at the bottom the 'Serial'.

Now plug the phone into the PC and the 'Serial' should change to 'USB'.

If the SPL version is 3.03.0000, then flash the 3.14 ROM again (go to the HTC Website and download using the phone's serial number - just to confirm that it is an approved ROM for your phone).

If the SPL version is x.xx.0000, then flash an older ROM (ie 2.10) again (go to the HTC Website and download using the phone's serial number - just to confirm that it is an approved ROM for your phone).

If the SPL version is x.xx.HSPL, then run HSPL3 (for TMOUS) or HSPL2 (for the 512LEO) and select a SPL version suitable to the non 3.14 ROM you want to flash.

Don't worry about no ActiveSync connection, as bootloader mode bypasses this need.

The SD Flash method bypasses all these steps. The main reason for failure of this method is using a SD card greater than 4GB.

[HD2 General] artgoa:
thanks for reply i used phone serial via t-mobile site and i got it working
[HD2 General] KruptWorld:
dude thanks for taking the time to post this. i wish i had read it before blindly flashing

RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship

rom. i was on wm7 on my htc-hd2 but i was having restart issues. i just felt like doing some clean reflashing, but i dunno why i used this rom. now the phone won't turn on.

i can hear it boot up or maybe its just he camera adjusting when i push the power button or plug it in to usb, but i have a blank black screen. when i plug it into usb i get the qualcomm thing. i've installed the drivers for it but i still cant get any usb recognition to run task29.

i noticed everyone is talking about .51 being the death of the device, but i don't see a that in my rom. do i still have a chance some how??
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Some of the very low versions of the .50 RADIOs (below 2.06.50) have the same effect as using a .51 RADIO on a TMOUS.

Why did you select this ROM?

Did you use your phone's serial number on the HTC website to download this ROM?

Can you get into Bootloader mode?
[HD2 General] KruptWorld:
no i cant get into bootload mode. no, i had this rom on my computer and i had the tmous one. but the tmous said it was corrupt, so i was like oh i probably use this rom. im dumb, i didnt realize that it bricked my cousins phone when i was trying to reset it to factory to be sent back lol. we just like oh **** the phone doesnt even turn on anymore.

i didnt know thats how you brick the phone i thought flashing it wrong, as in pulling the plug or not enough battery was the only way to brick it.

so even though i got the right drivers for the modem in xp its only connecting to the modem?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
If the phone is still in warranty (I think that it is 2 years) then phone HTC and tell them you phone was working, you left it on charge overnight and when you went to use it there was no response.

Technically it is lying, but HTC are giving some folks with genuine faults lame excuses not to repare the phone.

If you get away with it this time, then please read and then re-read before you flash.

""Q3-OH NOES! I HAZ CUSTOM ROM! HALPS!

A-No worries. Reverting from a custom ROM to the T-Mobile stock is a fairly simple process, as is reverting back to the stock SPL from HardSPL, and they can be done at the same time with one process. Simply download the latest T-Mobile stock ROM(3.14 as of this writing) extract the .nbh from it and rename it LEOIMG.nbh and place it on the root of your storage card. Then place that card into your device, and start your phone whilst holding down the DOWN volume key to go into bootloader. Follow the onscreen instructions and voila! Stock ROM and SPL in one shot! You are now good to either goto a T-Mobile store and request a new device, or send it back to T-Mobile or HTC for warranty without fears of being denied or paying an extra 50USD for "software restoration".""

I extracted the nbh file separately and renamed it, then extracted the other files to same folder and copied them all to storage card. started phone to bootloader and nothing... what did i do wrong
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Format your SD card as Fat32, and don't copy the other files, just the LEOIMG.nbh.

[HD2 General] Realalist:
I'm getting one in the mail tomorrow and I spent all night reading your thread and it gave me some valid information. I'm definitely a noob. I've been using a MYT3G rooted for a while now, and while it was good, this is going to be an amazing experience once I get this phone up and running. Thanks for the great guide and all the tips and references.:D
[HD2 General] ravenhd2:
how come after i set all the APN settings correctly i still cant conect to the 3g network? does it have to do with the android rom booting from the sd card at all? please help
[HD2 General] :
Greetings All! I am a noob! (sorry, I know its a bad word around here!), I have been doing my best to find a solution, searching the threads, but I cannot find exactly what I am looking for, having said that, first thing: my HD2 is TMO USA, OS Version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87), Manila Version 2.5.20121412.1, ROM 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE, ROM 2/22/10, Radio 2.08.50.08_2, Protocol 15.34.50.07U.

Running WM 6.5, and was successful (for about 1 day) running Android 2.3.3 from my sd card, but now I cant get it to work, keep getting a (CLRCAD & HARET error "not a trusted cert"). I tried modifying my phone's registry but I cannot make any changes to the registry, this may be a CeRegEdit or Mobile Registry Editor problem, but I have removed and reinstalled, enabled "unlock reg" in CeRegEdit, but cant make any registry changes. At this point, I can completely wipe the device and start fresh, no need to back up any contacts or programs. I would like to start off by being able to run WM (any version), and be able to run Android, whatever set up is easiest, as I become more involved, this will (hopefully) make more sense as I get experience. Your thoughts? thanks in advance for anything you can help!!!!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
So what exactly is you problem, is it just you can not edit your registry? Or is it the fact you can not get your Android build on SD card to boot up again?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I responded in the other thread you posted in, go back to the "Help!!!" thread and I will try to assist you.
[HD2 General] :
Looking at my current HD2 settings, would any of them cause the Android 2.3.3 to stop working on my SD card? If so, what changes do I need to do? I hate to ask such a basic question cause there are millions of posts, but it is overwhelming. The perfect build for me would be the WP7 and Android with the option to dual boot from start up, but I wasnt able to get past flashing the Radio or installing MAGLDR112, from this thread (”htchd2forums”unable to provide link due to newbie status). None of my current settings need to be saved, (ie.. music, pictures, programs) if that makes a difference.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok if you want to run Android from SD card I suggest you update your ROM to the 3.14 ROM from T-Mobile.com. Just type in "HTC HD2 update" in the search box on the home page of the site. This will bring up three links for the site it should be the middle on something like "How to upgrade your HTC HD2". Click on this and it will carry you to a list of instructions, follow the instructions. Step 4 of the instructions has the download link for the ROM. You will have to get your IMEI number from behind your battery to enter into the site before it will let you download the ROM.

If you still want to run WP7 and Android then click on my guide I have linked in my signature as I give step by step instructions on hoe to install HSPL and MAGLDR 1.13. I also have a guide linked at the top of my guide on how to install WP7. All the links to HSPL and MAGLDR 1.13 are in my guide. To dual boot WP7 and Android there is a Guide for this in the HD2 Windows Phone 7 development forum just go there and look for it as it usually stays at the top of the forum because people are constantly posting in it.

hi im trying to to put xbmod on my Us hd 2 i had the frist origanl russain rom i have the maglr 1.3 but every time i try to flash new rom my comp is not detecting the usb connection what do i need to do
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You probably need to update your USB drivers, use another USB port, use another USB cable, or you may haveca faulty USB port on the HD2. I would be willing to betcone of the first three choices will fix your issue though. To make sure you have updated drivers either go to myphone.microsoft.com/getstarted and download then install the latest version of the Sync software you need depending on what Windows your computer has, ActiveSync is for XP, WMDC is for Vista and Windows 7. Or you can go to the device manager in control panel and click on your phone and then right click the dropped down device icon and select update divers then select from the internet. If updating the drivers does not help try all avaliable USB ports and another cable if that does not work.
[HD2 General] :
t-macgnolia, I was able to get WP7 on my HD2, I removed it because it was not the OS I want on my HD2, so I resorted back to my WM6.5, I have Android on my SD card, but now I cant boot into Android, I think it has something to do with HSPL. If you can assist, I would really appreciate. I flashed several different ROMS, but I preferred the .sentry build, simple and clean.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No it has nothing to do with the HSPL on your HD2.

Did you get your SD card properly reformatted after using WP7?

WP7 formates your SD card using RAID format Wichita is a special type of format. The normal windows format software will not remove it. I forget the name of the software I have heard meantioned, I would Google for SD card formatting software to find one that can remove it if I was you. Or you can put your SD card in a micro to mini SD adaptor. Then put it I'm a digital camera and format it with the camera, then you can use the windows or other formatting software to format it with Fat 32. This should solve your problem.
[HD2 General] :
t-macgnolia, I reformatted a new 8gig sd card and that took care of the problem! I am able to run Win6.5 and Android 2.3.3! thanks so much! I just purchased the Vikuiti screen cover and looking to buy a battery. The HD2 is such a sexy phone! There is so much info on these threads, its hard to sort everything, again, thanks for your help!

WP7 7592 Green Mango with market place

and I can get android to run on my class 4 Adata 32 GB card on the Fat 32 partition I created. I have tried a bunch of different ways to get it to dual boot but have had no success. I tried lots of ways including these:

The main issue is that when I have tried doing the phone reset on WP7 NAND it works just fine on my 2GB samsung card, but won't work on 32 GB card any way I try...including loading rom with the 32GB card in the phone. I also looked for any dual boot treads on 32GB cards but couldn't find anything. Is there anyone who has had success on a 32GB card or do I need to go down to a 16GB card? Please tell me how to get assistance. Thanks so much!

This code enables you to use the g-sensor on a HTC WM device, without any depencies og DLL's.

This can be compiled directly into you applications. (Less DLL clutter)

I made this by nitting bits and pieces of code together from the www.

The code runs pretty fast, but I would like to optimize it, to make it even faster.

Allso, this depends on a Timer to poll the Sensor.

I would rather have it event based or something.

Thats your job :)

Do whatever you want with this code.

It you make any enhancements though, please upload then to the XDA Developers website.

I9000XXJPM. Some say GPS is fixed and its perfect now. Is that true ???? Please share your experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degry:
Galaxy S I9000XXJPM still not the best GPS

Hi, I've tried I9000XXJPM. That version still has some GPS limitations. The version seems better than 1 or 2 months ago (the position is more exact) but it makes long time to converge. It seems Samsung has added a kind of position smoothing/averaging (~30 sec time constant).

So, I would conclude that I9000 is still okay for GPS driving but not the best one (I drive often with it; GPS Navigation works fine but finds the wrong street 5% of the time in average, mostly in cities or crossroads). After some benchmark with other Samsung and HTC phones, I can say that I9000 is definitely not the best one.

Some more detailed info about my benchmark:

1- I camp to a certain location and observe that my Galaxy S Google Maps app finds my location with +/- 5m within ~20-30 sec (with the help of the GSM triangulation so-called A-GPS).

2- I move 20 meters away (it takes 10 sec to walk).

3- Every 5 seconds I see the blue arrow slowly moving in the direction I am going to, with a delay of ~10-15 seconds.

4- After 60 seconds my Galaxy S has found my new location with +/- 5 m precision.

5- When I move back to the original position, the same delay/smoothing towards the original position is observed; it takes again 60 seconds.

My two benchmark phones (HTC, other Samsung) don't show that smoothing effect. Every 5 seconds (10 seconds sometimes) my current position is updated correctly (still with +/- 5 m precision).

I'm starting to believe that the problem is a hardware design problem (maybe noisy GPS antenna, influenced by other RF signals, maybe GSM antenna), and Samsung implemented a kind of smoothing/averaging effect in order to compensate the imprecision and let the applications point to more exact location, at the cost of long time to converge.

What's the opinion of GPS experts around?

hey guys!!! im posting this thread because i lost my sd card and had to get a new one..... but u see the sd card i lost had all of my transformers files... and other factory goodies that came with the phone...... i really want to get those files back... i was wondering how i can get them back... maybe administrators can put the files on the website so we can download them from the website... or if someone can send me the files... or even if SOMEONE can send me links to download the files... the files i am talking about btw is the transformers 1 and 2 files... and the built in games... anyone know how i can get them back or where?? or if admins can put it on the website that would be great... NEED QUICK REPLIES!

go to Demonoid.com and search for HD2. Someone put them up there month ago.
[HD2 General] jash23:
oh so i can download the movies from there???

People! This is MASSIVELY against the rules at XDA! This is willful sharing of warez and is a banable offense! Please read the rules before posting such things. Whether being distrubuted publicly or not, warez are NOT tolerated here at XDA.
[HD2 General] camoko:
thats not warez, its a legit file sharing web site, just like rapidshare , megaupload and all the others...
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
? Soliciting a file shareing site, which may I remind you is ILLEGAL is most definately promoting Warez in my book. Demonoid exists to share files illegally...now im not saying torrenting is bad, im just saying that shareing copyrighted material at XDA is not allowed nor tolerated.
[HD2 General] camoko:
check your msg
[HD2 General] camoko:
so all the links to rapidshare on XDA are illegal?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
If they are to illegal content then yes.
[HD2 General] jash23:
uh please bro can u send me an invite code??? i really want the files :).. oh and is the invite code i can use everytime or is it a one time deal?
[HD2 General] camoko:
good thing we didn't post any links to illegal content... as a matter of fact, we didn't post any links... since the OP purchased the content and paid for it, he can legally download all the files that where on his card.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
though we all know demonoid is mainly a piracy site, i dont agree that the poster that suggested he go there to obtain a "backup" copy of files that he legally has a right/license to access should be banned, since thats the only place he can really obtain these files. the comment about other movies being available there is a bit stretching it, but who didnt know that already?

The other method he could use to obtain these files it to take advantage of the "recall" on the SD card and try and see if he can get a replacement card, though it sounds like theyve cracked down on that alot, and that arguably actually hurts HTC because now they have to ship him a card that probably costs them atleast $50. rather he could just goto demonoid just to obtain a copy of the files he legally has a right/license to since he purchased an HD2

id still be leary about accessing the files though there though, lest you get caught up in some MPAA lawyers monitoring users accessing that torrent, since it contains 2 copyrighted movies
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No, he cannot. He never paid for the content, he paid for a LISCENCE to USE the content. The files contained on his storage card where never his, he was simply liscenced to use them while in possesion of the phone. You can't delete something, then just download it because it was "yours". Oh snap! My computer died! Gotta go download Windows...cause ya know...my PC ran Windows so im entitled to download it if I so choose. /sarcasm, copyright doesn't work like that. And posting links or not, promoting piracy or warez in any way is a violation of the XDA terms of use and rules.

EDIT!

Let me clarify, im not trying to say that they the guy is wrong for wanting "his" content back, im just saying that promoting demonoid as a source is terrible, and not allowed is all. Im trying to protect and upload the XDA rules. Thats it, not trying to start a flame war here.
[HD2 General] camoko:
...two copyrighted movies he owns the license to... so, yes, he can download them as well... legally...
[HD2 General] d0ug:
actually that is perfectly legal, so long as you use the serial number on the COA sticker stuck your PC to reinstall it. if you loose or destroy the COA sticker, then you're out of luck.

the COA sticker is proof of purchase for that version of windows, just as having physical possession of a TMO HD2 would be proof of having license to access to those files. and no having physical possession of a PC is not proof of license to a copy windows because not all PCs come with windows preinstalled. all TMO HD2s came with those files on their included SD cards

of course that doesnt mean you wont get caught up in some riaa/mpaa/anti piracy dragnet and have to explain yourself in court for downloading those files. but any competent judge should throw that case out in minutes
[HD2 General] camoko:
you are correct, sir :)
[HD2 General] d0ug:
to add a little more to it, you can goto sites like CDW.com and purchase official software media discs for software like windows, ms office, photoshop for example for usually around $10. that does not mean they are legal to use unless you have a microsoft open license, a valid COA, or licensing for photoshop from adobe

an example http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1206821
