[Q] Flashing stock rom to branded one? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
ok, my HD2 has arrived today and has a vodafone software branding, which I want to get rid of.
I downloaded HSPL2. My phone shows SPL 1.66.0000 XE. So what do I have to choose now, if I want to flash the latest original HTC German Rom (1.66.407.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07)?
Don't want to brick it...

x.xxHSPL...
The version number doesn´t matter...the only "IMPORTANT" thing is to flash a "x.xxHSPL"...NO "x.xx.0000" version...
Connect the phone in ActiveSync mode...Start HSPL2 on you desktop, follow the instructions...it´s easy...
When the HSPL2 is done and the (Phone) screen goes black again, "press and hold" the "vol. down" key, (before the phone starts up) and you are back in the boot screen...
Here you (now) can see/read "x.xxHSPL"...that´s RIGHT...
If it´s "x.xx.0000" it´s BAD...try again...
When everything is fine...don´t touch the phone (leave it in the boot screen) and start the rom upgrade from your desktop...that´s it...

Noob and Android 2.2

I am trying to get Android 2.2 on my HD2. I was able to successfully flash my HSPL. However I am having trouble flashing the radio and the winrom. Everytime I try to flash a winrom or the radio my phone reboots and the red, green, blue, and white screen appaers and of course the flash fails. I orginally started out with the spl 2.10.0.0 and I was able to successfully flash that to spl-2.08.HSPL using the HSPL3 exe.
<
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x50
>
This is what I see on the red, green, blue, and white screen. I can then pull the battary to reset the phone but I still does the same thing when I reset it.
How do I get the phone to stop rebooting and allow me to flash the it with a winrom. Thanks for the help.
I See you have TMOUS.
First of all: NEVER flash 2.xx.51 Radios this will result in a brick.
Now onto your question:
What exactly are you trying to flash, and how?
The rebooting into the coloured screen is expected behaviour.
This will remain a bit, then flashing will start.
Are you not to quick?
What acually happens? Does your flash reach a certain percentage?
Have you tried flashing back the T-mobile shipped ROM (via SD Card)?
I am trying to flash the NRG Cookies rom or the NRG GTX rom or the Asterois Standard rom, and I was going to flash the 2.11.50 radio since there was no CUU in the 2.12.50.20_2 radio download.
When I plug my phone up to my laptop and connect it to activesync the connection is good and works well. Once I go through the CUU for any of the above mentioned after I click on the "flash" button the phone turns off the connect to active sync dies and the colored screen comes up, then the CUU comes back telling me that there has been an error and my device is more longer connected and the flash was unsuccessfull , the flash process ever gets passed 0%. Then I have to remove the battery from my phone in order to get it to reboot, and it reboots just fine back to stock windows. Ever tried flashing back to tmobile rom (1) because the rom has never been flashed and (2) because i did not know that I could or even how to.
If Im reading this right your HSPL is 2.08?? If so then your good to go with that HSPL. My HD2s were always 2.10 out of the box. I would use Cotulla HSPL3 and hack it to 2.08 and be done with it. Now you can flash a new radio over and the ROM of your choice. Just a small piece of advice. Done flash a radio under 2.10. For me radio 2.11 works great on all the Androids Ive used and WinMo ROMs. Enjoy
Thanks for all the help guys. I figured out what I was doing wrong.
The problem was that I was using Windows 7 on my MACBook and everytime the rom started to flash the device would discconnect from the VM of windows 7. So I tried to flash it on my windows 7 box and the radio and NRG rom flashed flawlessly.
Thanks for all the help.
Hi there,
i got a problem with putting android 2.2 on my HD2. when i press HARET, it gives me a screen where i can press run, but than i got a message saying "Cannot open script file\Storagecard\default.txt"
Maybe the problem is in the file i downloaden on this site. when i downloaded it, ther is in the map STARTUP CONFIG an map called HD2, but the file in there says "for future release for HD2"
do you guys know the problem?

Give up with this rom s..t

tried this rom upgrade stuff, not for me i just cant figure it out,downloaded the custom ruu into a folder on the desktop extracted the radio rom into same folder ruu_signed.nbh & extracted the rom update to my desktop and guess what it just sits a 0 percent then comes up error 262,what the hell am i doing wrong ??
you should probably provide a little more information than that if you want anybody to be able to help you.
try and be as clear and understandable as possible, and list what rom/radio you had before, and whiat you tried to flash to the phone and exactly what steps led you to where you are now. what happens when you turn your phone on?
turn your phone all the way off, and then hold the volume down button, and while holding it, turn the phone back on. you should see a screen with a few colored bars on it, like red, white and green. exactly what all does this screen say on it?
hi,ive been at this all day & this phone htc hd2 is a piece of crap,i wish i held onto my iphone sorry for moaning but its such an akward piece of ****.why is it so complicated to put firmware on and radio roms etc ? anyway my phone has latest vodafone rom installed from htc site and hspl 2 installed and thats it,im trying to install a custom rom and update radio rom as it says to do so,ive put custom ruu on my desktop in a folder with the radio rom in the same folder ruu_signed.nbh.extracted the custom rom to my desktop and synced phone to comp,i got into folder and run custom ruu and everything runs ok untill it tries to install ? and the bar doesnt move 0% and then comes up fault 262
when i extract the custom rom to the desktop it put 2 files on
leo software upgrade & leoimg.nbh do i put that file into the custom ruu folder also along with the radio rom ???
heres my phone spec
os version=5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manilla version=2.5.20121429.0
rom version=1.72.161.3 (82124) WWE
rom date=03/24/10
radio version=2.07.51.22_2
protocol version 15.32.50.07u
get rom ruu_signed.nbh or radio.nbh (or whatever its called, doesnt matter) and put in folder with customruu.exe
Only put one nbh in the folder at a time, if you put multiple nbh files in that folder, it will always flash the first one alphabetically.
phone into bootloader (yes i know the instructions say get active sync connection, forget that)
if the spl says x.x.0000 then you didnt run hspl yet, or you ran hspl3 and noobishly just accepted the default 2.08.0000 which is stock, and you cant flash. (Thats one reason it can hang at 0%)
If teh spl says x.xx.hspl then you are ready to flash
phone still in bootloader, connect usb, wait for word serial to become usb on phone right click customruu.exe and choose run as administrator.
If it times out again, dont touch phone, just cancel and re run customruu, if it still fails, still dont touch phone, just move usb ports and try again.
My money is on the hspl3 -> 2.08.0000 mistake. (or you simply didn't hspl at all, in which case shame on you!)
hi mate,im new to this stuff im an ex iphone user,i dont know what u mean by (or you simply didn't hspl at all, in which case shame on you!)i installed hspl onto the phone 2.08.0000 i ve done that is that wrong ???
will i run it again and choose 2.08 hspl ???
i went ahead and done it and it came up we hacked it,is that it ??
do i install radio rom first then custom rom & will the radio nbh be away or do i remove it then install the leo rom & put the leoimg.nbh in the custom ruu folder ??

bingo.
However, since you dont have a tmous phone, i recommend you use hspl2. hspl3 isnt 'newer' or 'better', its just been simplified for the tmous users (they cant use most of the options in hspl2)
hspl2 doesnt default to .0000 so it would have offered you 1.66.hspl (opposite to what you already had, 1.66.0000) so would have worked correctly.
hi,its hspl3 ive done it with,will i have to do it again with hspl2 ?
no it will be fine, just in the future if you want to remove hspl, or apply any spl other than 2.xx, (not 3.xx , thats different) use hspl2 not hspl3.
hi,im doing it now and it seems to be working,ive installed the radio rom and now im installing the custom leo rom,do i need to hard reset after & how do i do that ?
its not essential, but can sometimes help avoid buggy flashes. personally i dont, but if in the first half hour you feel teh rom is glitchy, do a hard reset and try again.
to hard reset
phone off
press, hold and keep holding vol UP and vol DOWN - you will prbably find this easier with teh battery cover off. press them one by one, until you feel teh click of each button, cos its easy to not quite get it, and teh phone boots normally instead. once u are holding them both, tap and release power.
Just like entering bootlaoder, but with vol up too.
thanks for all your help mate,thats the first time ive done it

[Q] Very slow performance on my HD2

Hi all,
I've installed the latest official ROM (World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2) downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 and also co0kie home tab 2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792303 on my HD2.
At the beginning everything OK but when time goes on (right now it is second week) it starts to slow down to almost freeze in several cases!! any idea?
By the way, 80% of program memory is always occupied!
Thanks
Go into bootloader, look at spl line.
if it DOESN'T say 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl then that's the problem,, use hspl4 and choose either of those.
Thanks, but could you help me more detailed on what you recommended? I've no idea what you're talking about?! Sorry for that
I'm not expert about this.
By the way, would this method remove all information (i.e. contacts, sms and ...)?
Thanks in advance
power off phone
press, hold and KEEP HOLDING volume down key
press and release power
KEEP HOLDING VOL DOWN
when striped coloured screen appears, that is bootloader, , now you can let go of volume down.
What does the 'spl' line say?
It says:
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
What should I do now?
See? If you had read and understood post 2 it would be fixed by now
so you haven't got the right spl to run 3.14, just like I mentioned in post 2, it needs to be 3.03.xxxx for 3.14 and you have 1.42.xxxx
Enter bootloader, run hspl4 choose 3.03.0000 or 3.03.Hspl and reboot.
Thanks, but the problem is I've no idea "how to run hspl4"!!! Should I download something and install it on my HD2?
I've found this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477) and I think it has a full guide for this!
Thanks for your help,
After installing this new HSPL4 should I install the ROM again?

All you have to do is put hour phone into bootloader (multicolor screen) by holding the vulume down button down as your HD2 is booting up. Connect your HD2 via USB to the computer wait for the computer to install the drivers if they are (if they are not already) then you will see the Serial change to USB in the white bar of bootloader. When you see USB right click on the HSPL.exe and select run as administrator. The DFT utility will ask what version you want to install, it will be on 2.08 as default. Click on the little arrow to make the drop down box come down and select either 3.03.0000 or 3.03. The .0000 is regular SPL and the 3.03 is HSPL. And no you do not have to reflash the ROM but I would sugest a hard reset just to be safe.
Thanks guys,
Now the memory usage dropped down to below 50%!!! Let's see if there would be freezes or not

Noob Unbrick

Hi, maybe there are some post related or solving this problem. But I cant really find the solution.
Here's what happened. I got an unblock but branding HTC 7 Mozart from Telstra Australia.
I was doing the DFT SPL to RSPL then to HSPL.
After that, all went fine. Then I run a rom, guess is a HTC Mozart Taiwan Rom as I wanted a chinese version.
However, it stated to update and reaches 6%. Then, my phone suddenly just restart to bootloader (the red, blue colour page)...thn again and again. The update has stop with error. However, my phone is stuck at the 3 colours page. Even pluck off the battery , and restart it. but just keep going to the bootloader page even i didnt press the volume key nor the camera button.
I was stuck at the bootloader a period.
Then, I started try restart again and again. Even try update back to the Telstra Branding Rom by Ansar. But just cant as it keep saying error.
Then I suddenly restart the phone by pressing volume up and down plus camera button - It directs me to the 'phone with comp' picture - and I connect to my ZUNE, and it starts to restore back.

[Q] How can I fix it?

Hello!
My phone isn't working with windows mobile although the windows phone 7 and the android works good with my hd2.
The error is this:
MicropERROR:
Microp Version Mismatch
0x0
Please update lateset Microp
firmware
How can i fix it?
Run Hspl4 choose 3.03.0000
Get the correct 3.14 rom for your phone (example, a German o2 phone needs the German o2 rom, not just any rom)
Flash it from USB, if USB flash fails try it from SD. (Can go straight for SD if ya like, I just say USB first since its quicker and you already set the spl with Hspl4 in step 1, so no benefit from SD)

What model TMOUS US or EU ?
If T-Mobile US (TMOUS) then it would be bricked by that ROM with 51 version Radio.
Hopefully it EU model & just an issue with SPL version !

I dont know exactly, i guess it is unlocked. Thats why i dont know, where can i check it?
TMOUS US is easily identified by T-Mobile logo & green/red call/end keys ...
white screen
It has call keys, but its color are grey, but it dont have T-mobile logo
I had succesfully install a OS (Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.2.21907.5.0.93_1.80_ML_V4_Ship_PT) from SD card. But still happen the same, after i start the phone it has constant white screen.
