448RAM not 576RAM - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My ultimate goal is to put Gingerbread on my phone Via the NAND Method.
I am starting with the latest version of the windows ROM from the HTC website for 02.
First I added HSPL3 to my phone so when I hold the VOL Button and Power I load to HSPL screen with version 2.08.HSPL. I presume this is correct.
Now I upgrade the radio to 2.08.50.XX I still only have 448RAM, how do i get this to 576RAM so i can install MAGLDR 1.11

You do not actually need the 576 in order to flash to Android, you only need to have a radio that enables the 576. In order to actually get it to show you need the correct radio together with a rom that "unlocks" the extra ram. As long as you have 2.08.hspl and a 50 series radio of at least 2.08.50 then you're good to go. You also should head over to the correct forum before someone flames you (ie this one is for winmo ). Refer to the link in my signature on Flashing NAND Android roms and you will get all of the necessary steps there.

not exactly true... you need to have HSPL and correct Radio to enable 576MB RAM - SPL3.03 that comes with 3.14 ROM doeas not enable 576MB RAM - I have tried that.

(Same Person was borrowing Stephiepea account to post my question)
Cheers Clyde for the help, i'm obviously a Newb when it comes to this. I tried to install MAGLDR 1.11 to my phone by your method and once it completed on my phone it rebooted but not to the boot loader, it just loadedto the O2 boot screen and stayed there didn't even boot to windows mobile again.
Daekin can you give me in laymans terms what HSPL and Radio I NEED differently to the ones I indicated in my first post.

I've also tried loading a custom "Energy" Rom then tried loading MAGLDR and again it boots to the NRG sting and stays there. please someone help. ive been trying for days.
Incase it helps when I boot to HSPL my screen info is
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30

Try MAGLDR 1.12 and the included latest radio (2.15.50.14).
1. Connect by USB to the PC.
2. Hold down volume button and power up to get in 4 color screen, make sure it says USB at the bottom.
3. Flash the new radio.
4. Hold down volume button and power up to get in 4 color screen, make sure it says USB at the bottom.
5. Flash MAGLDR.
6. Hold the powerbutton down to enter MAGLDR.
7. Choose option 5 to USB flash a ROM (by using volume down button again).
It worked for me, I've also 2.08HSPL.
For the MAGLDR and radio check your PM.
GL!

Thanks Eric,
I havn't recieved anything via PM but I downloaded MAGLDR 1.12 and the same happens. I get stuck on the O2 Splash screen.
things i've tried:-
HSPL3 - Tried to install this, I get The success message apear on my PC but not the we hacked it message on my phone, is this because I already had a HSPL on my phone.
I've tried multiple radios with .50 which shoul alow the 576MB RAM but my phone never shows this only the 448MB RAM in the Device infomation.
After both the above, my phone boots back to windows.
then I try MAGLDR once it completes I boot to the O2 Splash screen and never progress to the bootloader or windows, even if reboot and hold down the power button.

Hmm, that doesn't sound well.
Maybe you can try to flash with a custom WinMO rom first, like Energy.
I had the Energy Rom installed before I used MAGLDR.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I think it should also flash with the 4 color bootscreen connected to USB.
After flashing a custom rom try to flash with MAGLDR again.
Hope it works, GL!
edit: I don't know if mine says 576 ram, because I don't know how to check that in WP7, which s*cks anyway.

Any STOCK ROM with a .50 Radio will NOT enable the 576MB RAM
You need a CUSTOM ROM (576MB trick enabled) with a .50 Radio to enable the 576MB RAM

Wrong! sorry guys i had to jump in here because there is some crap advise being given.
First off the latest wwe (not o2 branded) does enable the extra ram (as do all tmous roms). Where do you think radio 2.15.50.14 came from? secondly AFAIK (and i could be wrong here and i haven't checked it) magldr wipes the nand chip when it is installed therefore all you will ever see after a magldr install is the boot splash unless you reboot the phone and then install wp7 or android (wm6.5 is not yet supported but will be in magldr 1.13)
What the op has done up until he expected windows to boot was good. All he needs to do is install magldr 1.12, reboot holding down the power key and then follow the instructions for installing android to nand.
Handily, using google, i found this link. That should sort you out. I also found this video. Half of what comes out of his mouth at the start is rubbish but the actual steps are good.

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] New to HTC - ROM upgrade help please

Checked the other threads suggested but no luck
I have recently bought an HD2 WP6.5 which was unlocked by TMobile (UK) & subesquently debranded by me using Active Sync, HSPL2 & the LEO 1.66 RUU.
Everything seems fine but can I now upgrade to the new official 3.14? I have downloaded it from the HTC site but worried about damaging the phone.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place - I'm new to this sort of thing!
Thanks
hspl4 - 3.03.hspl - flash 3.14 rom from usb.

Thanks for that
I'm not very technical - do you mean download HSPL4 then install 3.03 from that then flash 3.14, essentially the same as I did above but with the programs you indicated?
Thanks
Junks
EDIT: Just tried doing that & it did nothing.
Downloaded HSPL4 & ran it, tried to run 3.03 but it rebooted & still showing 1.66 - is this because I have 1.66.HSPL & not 0000?
Thanks
Phone into bootloader (power off, hold and keep holding volume down,tap n release power keep vol pressed till coloured striped screen, do all your flashing from here)
Into bootloader, connect USB, wait for word,"serial" to become "USB"
On PC,right click hspl4.exe and choose run as administrator,
What happens? What does it say in Bootloader? (Top line and spl line) before and after please.
Ah didn't know about that!
Right done that & it now says SPL-3.03.HSPL XE so obviously it did work as above I just didn't know how to check it!!
It shows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0x05
Cotu11aHSPL 0x40
USB
So just run 3.14 on the PC now - do you have a link so I get the correct one?
Sorry to be a pain
Edit: This is the one I downloaded from HTC _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
That rom is 1.48,,, see the sets of numbers?
_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28. 50.07U_2.05.51.05_2
Ver 1.48.405.2, with radio 2.05.51.05.
That's an ooold rom. There's at least 1 thread with all the 3.14 roms in it.
I saw that & thought it looked strange - put a WWE serial in the HTC & got that but I must have done something wrong as I've just done it again & the file now says 3.14!
Oh well all done now & seems to be working ok - thanks for your help, much appreciated
Just looking forward to using the phone now & ditching the annoying iPhone
Hehe it can be temperemental, bit like an 80's super car, terrible cars, but great none the less. I'm buying another for when this one dies.

[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

Cannot remove HSPL

I've been going through threads for some hours now but haven't round a solution, so apologies if it already exists:
I've had a problem with my HD2 freezing. It's been sat in a drawer for a while but I thought I'd try and sort it out.
So first I did task29 and that seemed to go OK.
Next I tried to install the stock Vodafone ROM. It buzzed 7 times when the update started and then stuck at 9%.
Having failed to put a ROM on it I then followed the instructions to remove HSPL. When I start it (VOL down, LEOIMG.nbh on FAT32 formatted SD card inserted) it just goes to the tricolour screen and does not flash/load whatever the nbh file.
I put the phone in the fridge for a while and re-tried the ROM update and that reported success, but it won't boot so it's back in the fridge - I'm getting worried about the battery now.
I see someone else had the same problem removing HSPL but don't know what their solution was - am I missing something?
The phone is currently sat in the fridge because I think the 7 buzzes is a heat (processor) issue so assume it's knackered anyway but I still want to remove HSPL.
[thanks for moving the thread - apologies for putting it in the wrong place to start]
UPDATE: I've now successfully updated the ROM to standard UK Vodafone but still no joy with removing HSPL. I'm using a 2GB SD card FAT32 format file names LEOIMG.nbh but I just get the coloured screen. I'm using the nbh file from the current ROM. Tricolour screen reads:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
And then 'serial' or 'USB' at the bottom changing as I plug it in.
Rather than using SD card stock flash, which contains a radio, (your symptoms are often the fault of the radio) you should try running hspl2, and setting spl 1.66.0000
I've also got personal expwrince of spl 2.x refusing to downgrade to 1.x, even when SD flashing, so radio problems aside i now remove spl/hspl 2.x using hspl2.exe and only then perform the SD flash.
Need a little help here, my mate got a HD2 off ebay, which was stuck at android loading screen. I have no idea what the original owner flashed or didnt flash. I can get into the tri-colour screen ok and it shows 3.03 spl, but refuses to change to usb from serial. How can I get access to flash something onto this that will boot?

I've not been on the forum for a while since I got the Sensation - can you point me to an hspl2 thread for the why's, wherefore's & how to's?
Thanks.
EDIT: Found it thanks.
To change the SPL you need the device in bootloader mode (tri-colour sreen) than you connect the usb cable between PC and device. in the white section of the bootloader should say USB (if usb sync drivers on the PC are ok). next you need HSPL2.exe, HSPL3.exe or HSPL4.exe from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 . depending on your current SPL/HSPL ver you'll choose one of them.
About the "It's working in the fridge" problem - sorry to hear that. It's pretty much fatal. Check out here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454
I just got back from repair an HD2 with the same problem, vibrating 7 times, ect., and it cannot be repaired. you need new main board but they are no longer produced, and even if you find one from china it's from 280-250 USD.
I hope it's not the same with you, but...
Well I did the HSPL2.exe thing and that was a piece of cake - HSPL now removed and ROM properly installed.
It still does the vibrate 7 times thing every now and again so it looks like it's going on ebay as junk

HD2 has white screen, can't uninstall HSPL

Hi
I have a flashed HD2 with these problems.
In Bootloader it says
PB81100 SS-BC
SPL-208.HSPL 8G XE
0X05​CotullaHSPL 0X50
If I try to install HTC RUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe it breaks after 1% it says 270 error
HD2 reboots and again white Screen. When I put off/on battery and press Volume down I see bootloader display.
I tried to flash with sd Card, leoimg.nbh on the sdcard breakes after 10%
it says
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh -FAIL
Radio-Fail
I think I have a bootloader problem. How can I remove SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE and set the new orginal SPL ?
here bepe says :
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

does anybody have an Idea?
Radio_2.15.50.14.nbh installation fails, but custom rom like energy sucesses. After that again white screen
nobody knows the solution?
You have a stuck radio. Fairly common, with a variety of symptoms. The radio wont let itself be changed which is why custom roms and splashscreens don't have a problem.(radio gets flashed at the start of flashing which is why it always fails around 8-10%) This issue can affect spl to a greater or lesser degree, some people can change spl some can't, some find flashing an older (but correct for that phones cid and region) stock rom, some find chilling the phone allows the flash to take allowing the radio to finally change, some never get anything to flash again.
hi
thank you for your answer. My Bootloader shows
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0X05
0X50
if I try to run Task29 via USB Cable, I get Error 270, it breaks sometimes at 16%
reflash 3.03 HSPL with HSPL 4 says it is successfull, but if I try to flash a rom with usb again it shows 270 Error, so my logical deduction is, reflash with HSPL4 does not really flash and it gives wrong answer because others like task28 leo customRUU can't flash over usb cable. HSPL 4 says success but this answer must be fake, after reboot 3.03HSPL remains in the bootloader, I tried to downgrade to 2.08HSPL no chance,
My System is Windows XP SP3 when I connect USB Cable to my HD2 it shows USB in the bootloader but why does it break if I try to flash over USB Cable and give an error 270 ? there must be a connection problem between my laptop and HD2.
I would like to know
Is there any way to flash HSPL4 over microSD card?
Can I see which Radio Rom has been installed ?
its a bit strange
Radio Rom Radio_2.15.50.14 istallation via USB Cable fails after 4%
and via microSD Card ~96-99%
I get

as i said,. you have a radio image that isnt allowing itself to be overwritten. My name for it is 'stuck radio' and some people fgind the radio still works fine with, for example, custom roms, it just cant be changed, others find the phone always hangs on grey bootscreen, yet more find taht hspol/spl flashes seem to work but nothing changes, some find chilling it in teh freezer lets a rom flash and suddenly all is well, and yet more find the freezer trick seems to work but doesnt, and yet more try and try and try to sd card flash with their CORRECT stock rom and suddenly without warning teh flash works.
My advcie, Prepare yourself for disappointment, but keep trying,and most importantly READING there are hundreds of threads about this.
