Hope someone can help. I've been running the Energy ROMs for a while, and decided to give Android a whack. Installed MAGLDR and the Desire ROM but want to restore the original OEM ROM, but can't seem to get it done.
I've formatted FAT32, extracted the .nbh from the archive, copied it over and renamed it leoimg.nbh (should it be upper case, or, leo_img.nbh?), and press the reset & volume down button. I get the HSPL screen, the gray screen flashes for only a second and disappears, then the HSPL screen shows again.
I am using the 16Gig SD card. Is it possible that's the problem? I've read a lot of things in a lot of threads, but can't seem to figure it out.
What gives? Any ideas?

almost certainly.
most 16, many 8 and 4 gig cards wont work
What Sam said.
Use a < 8Gb card. Single partition. FAT32.
I don't think the file name is case sensative but could be wrong.
Thanks,
Al

I did the same, but I just flashed back to the energy rom by running it from the desktop via windows mobile device center and not the sd card. So try running from the desktop with you desired rom.

Ok, got a 2G card and everything is working fine, now. Thanks for everyone's help!

ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

Click to expand...

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....

well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....
Basically, here is m problem:
I have a hermes. The GSM wasent working. I though maybe an upgrade to WM6 could correct some software bugs.... Wrong!
I realized it actually briecked (type 1a). Trying to follow the instruction to fix it, but i am not able to send ANYTHING to it!. Either by SD or Custom RUU. Finally i am standing with a Hermes, WM6, and it will NOT accept any flashes i try to put in it!
Its on HardSPL (2.10) IPL 1.04
Thanks in advance
Stephen_D
EDIT: Forgot to say what happens when i try to flash it!
With an SD card all I get it "Loading..." then returns to the bars
By USB it starts updating And freezes on 0%, then the software pops an error after 5 mins like what it can communicate.
Thanks
sort of the same problem...
I've been trying to flash a ROM for the past hour now and my phone doesn't get flashed.
(I already have HardSPL and I'm using a 1gig micro sd)
What I did:
Format the sd card to FAT32
copied the RUU_signed.nbh to sd card then renamed it to HERMING.nbh
I place the sd card on the phone that's connected to a charger
I press Power Button and Ok button on the left side then push reset
What happens:
It goes to bootloader mode (tricolor screen)
then it says loading...(2 seconds)
then goes back to the tricolor screen again
I waited for the prompt that I need to push the Power Button but it never came, so I soft reset it and tried it again but the same all over again.
The ROM I was trying to flash is the AT&T stripped ROM, I read it here that it's better to flash a stock ROM first before flashing/upgrading to a cooked ROM.
By the way I just found out that my X01HT isn't a Softbank, it's a DoCoMo.
Is my phone upgradeable?
Can someone please tell me what I missed?....I really want to upgrade my phone without bricking it.
Thanks!

What format is your SD card? Fat or Fat32?
Its gota be Fat32 to flash from it.
it's all good now....
I've given up flashing my phone from the sd card so I decided to flash it with my laptop instead. Luckily it worked without a hitch.
I'm so loving my phone now, been playing with it for 2 hours and the usual hang ups I got before are non-existing anymore.
To use the sd card method you need to check that the .nbh file is hermimg.nbh, NOT herming.nbh as you had written on your previous post.
The holy trinity of sd card flashing, Formated FAT32, Named hermimg.nbh & sd card is 2Gb or less...
Cheers...
I see.....
ok hermimg.nbh
will try this again, maybe next week since I'm enjoying my new ROM right now.
Thanks ultramag69!
Hello,
FCWs 6.5 Home edition 8325,2gig
Long story involving a 5 year old.
Basically right now I can only fire up in sort of a limp mode; "low on memory" or no "permission". Probably due to scores of "FILE000x.chk" files on the device after using Pocket Mechanic Pro on microSD card.
1) It'll only reliably boots with a battery out/in technique.
2) Its "connected" to desk-top PC but as a "guest" and isn't "synced"
3) I can browse it through ActiveSync on the PC, but can't add, move or delete files due to "low memory" or "permissions" (same on the 8525)
4) A few programs won't run and are not recognized as "valid P-PC" apps, including the front end "home2"
5) Can't flash anything as SSPL ROM flasher gives "ERROR [224]: device not responding".
Started with a corrupt 2 gig microSD, couldn't write to it, ran Pocket Mechanic Pro. that Problem solved, this prob created.
Read all Wikis, searched error 224, reflashed about 15 times, know the ropes.
Any Ideas are greatly appreciated!
Regards, PK
Have you tried flashing the rom from the memory card, its the only thing that i can suggest i don't know much about broken hermes.
Hope this helps and that you find a fix
Thanks for the reply Scott,
That was my next line of attack but I'm not clear yet on exactly how to do it (I'll find out).
My big problem is I can't add (or remove or even move) any files on the device either from File explorer on the phone or through. ActiveSync on the pc (I can look at them though...). I also dont have a card reader writer.
I think a lot of problems would go away if I could delete all the 200+ *.CHK files generated by Pocket mechanic pro. I think that where all my memory went.
I just found a way using delete feature in "RAR" ...6 down 200 odd to go. Antone know how to select multiple files?
Regards, PK
Regards, PK
Now its in solitary
I managed to delete 219, *.chk files from the rom hoping to free up memory. I'ts still isolated, I cant add any files to it (like a ROM or utility) through activeSync. The warning is it "can't find the file or path." of the file. To flash a rom from I still get "error 224," don't recognize the device.
Tried to load the SD card with a rom through my camera, no luck, the camera says "cannot flash".
The OS still works in a limp mode, no phone, half the programs inaccessible and home2 no longer works.
Fun.
PK
Have you tried connecting the card to the computer and reformatting it from there you might then be able to flash another rom
Thanks,
I don't have a card reader. The only thing I do have is a printer that accepts multiple card types and a camera that takes this card. So far I can't right to either.
Ya, theres a thread that tells how to flash from a card. Right now though its just of limits.
Thanks, PK
Edit: just got card reader.
Have SD Card with rom can't boot off it and install.
Hello all interested,
1) So I bought a card reader and as per 2 wikis, reformated my SD card fat32 and a single partition of about 190megs.
2) I copied just the "RUU_signed.nbh" file from my stripped ATT rom RAR file. (The wikis were a little unclear as they were apparently using different roms)
3) I installed this ROM directly from my PC to SD card through the card reader. And put the little SD card into the phone. ( I can only read not write anything though activesync as wiki implies. Problem?)*
4) As per wikis , hard booted with pen while holding power and OK keys.
5) All I get is the 4 striped screen with a IPL and SPL verbiage. NOT the "loading from SD card" as described in the wikis.
Help... anybody, PK
* Does loading the ROM through Active syn? I know it changes format of some files

Did you rename the file RUU_singned.nbh to HERMIMG.NBH?
Thanks alot for the reply,
I think you are the man! I did change the name but changed it to HERMING.NBH not HERMIMG.NBH. It seems to be flashing (slowly) right now.
If this works I owe you a BIG cerveza!

Vijovame,
You are definitely the man.
I flashed the plain Jane stripped ATT ROM but EVERYTHING WORKS! It syncs, the phone works, camera, etc, etc...Now I'm off to flash something interesting.
Thanks for making me re-read the .nbh name. (I've been trying to fix this about half the time I've owned it...my first smarphone)
All the best!!
PK
its good to hear that youve sorted it, theres a few roms out there at the moment so you may have to look around a bit and flash quite a few of them, the safest way is the card method but it is up to you.
Have fun with your hermes
Scotty,
Ironically I had already blindly flashed just about everything out there without a hitch. I finally settled on one. That's when all 'ell broke loose. Now I've got the stripped ATT on my flash drive ready to install anytime if I have to.
Thanks, PK
I flashed my SPL with DTF's HardSPL and I tried to flash a rom from my internal storage.
So I did put the leoimg.nbh in my MicroSD Card then boot + Volume Down, my screen goes for the SPL screen (3colours) then blink for ~1ms on which I think is a grey page then goes back to SPL page.
Any idea?
Solution from Djet:
you have to format your microSD in FAT32, I did it with my stock microSD and it worked. VolumeDown button before starting makes the device boot in UpdateMode (3color screen then gray screen asking to press PowerButton to update from leoimg.nbh or volumeDown to cancel).
thanks!
The grey screen is the one that asks you if you wish to go ahead with the update. I think you're just pressing the Volume button too long after getting to the SPL screen as VOL cancels the update and the power button updates, iirc...
Is your storage card a FAT16-formatted plain SD (non-SDHC)?

no, as I release the VOL button right when I start seeing the 3color screen, like 1s before the gray blink. I guess that it's the update screen that shows up but I want to know why it doesn't stay and if it is a bug from HSPL

It's the retail one (2Go) FAT 16 formatted
Same problem here, I tried flashing from two different SD card without success.
I tried even with gold card method, same results.
I think is relating with HSPL that I flashed 2 days ago.
Anyone have a solution for this problem?
I've just realized the stock 2GB goldcard I used to flashing with HSPL is actually FAT32, not FAT16. You could try.

It worked. Today I bought a 2GB microSD (sandisk) card, I formatted to FAT 32 in Windows, I put .nbh from stock 1.43, and gray screen appeared with loading… etc, now i'm back to 1.42 again. Be careful when loading screen appear, remove the volume down button otherwise you will stuck in bootloader.

I have the exact same problem but your suggested fix does not work.
I've tried several different sdcards and formatted using sdcard.org program, panasonic formatter, windows XP format to FAT32, Linux mkfs.vfat, mkfs.msdos, but I can't flash any LEOIMG.nbh file I try at all anymore.
I'm stuck as the USB connector on my phone has broken and I need to flash it back to stock to get it repaired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know this sounds silly, but are you sure you are trying to flash an allowed ROM for your phone? My T-Mobile UK phone would not allow me to flash the HTC 1.66WWE ROM via SD Card, but it would with the 1.72 TMUK ROM.
Can you not format the microSD Card with the phone? Are you using the SD Card that origionally came with the phone, as 8+GB cards are known to cause problems.
like this problem
my phone is hd2 t-mobile from USA. problem is update progress is going to RADIO_V2-OK RCUST-OK BOOTLOADER-OK SPLASH1-OK. problem is OS and CINFIGDATA can not update.

I had the same problem. When I tried to just name it to leoimg (so leave out the .nbh) it worked for me.
Basically I've extracted my Android ROM into my SD card but everytime I boot it, it just freezes on the white HTC screen. Even after waiting for about 30 minutes, it still doesnt boot up to Android. I've formatted my SD card and tried a few different ROMS.
My radio is 2.15, my SPL is 3.03 (stock without SSPL or HSPL) and my ROM is 3.14. I've researched a bit on the XDA forums and apparently I can use my stock ROM if I'm at 3.14 to run Android. I havent done any flashing but apparently Android should work with SPL 3.03.
Please help, its so frustrating as I've got my HD2 now but I cant run Android at all.

Format you card with this
And chose option "FULL (Erase ON)"
That should properly format you card. Then just place your Android folder on card and boot into Android and wait!
I would have suggested trying Class 4 minimum, but try theatheists suggestion first.

I've used the program you suggested to format my card but Android still wont run. It gives me a little bit of text when I click haret.exe and then immediatly it goes the white htc screen and seems to freeze there. I waited 40 minutes for it but it was just frozen on the same screen...
Can somebody PLEASE help me? I'm desperate and nobody seems to be answering at all!
Have you tried downloading it again or using a different build??
Does it need to be on the root of your card or in an android folder.......??
If none of that works then try an older rom... (1.72)
