first off let me start off by saying, yes, i'm a noob. i started out by reading all the posts in every thread i could. i have a x10ht that i bought at the local asian mall, not knowing that there were so many problems unlocking it
this is the second failed attempt at flashing a new rom onto my phone. i must say, i am not impressed. it froze the last time, i'm not sure where, and this time at 47%. kinda annoying when u think about it. i took the precautions and followed instructions, but to no avail
can anyone help? i'll give all the details i can...
bl 1.09
radio 1.14
old rom was 1.35
What state is it in now?
if i plug it in to the pc, it goes into bl 1.09
so, i was able to flash the old softbank rom onto it, but now i'm stuck with a japanese device with a sim lock on it(i think). i can't even set up activesync to try to update again. any ideas guys?
I don't have much xp with the ideosyncracies of the Softbank X01ht, but you should be able to build a sspl RUU featuring the os.nb of your choice. I believe you don't want to try flashing the radio ROM area but an os.nb only flash should restore the english version of your choice.
I'd look for confirmation on the above conjecture however, before trying these steps:
download the ruu of your choice and extract the signed nbh file using winrar or equivalent (the exe is an executable rar file)
use nbhextract or nbhdump to extract all the files
use Olipro's RUU builder to create a sspl RUU with only os.nb (use the 06_os.nb extracted from step 2)
flash this onto your device
This procedure should raise a lot of questions for you to research the answers to. The answers are all here I assure you. In researching, you will learn about the techniques of custom flashing for Hermes and whether they can really be used safely on your device.
Flashing the japanese ROM shouldn't have SIM locked you again. However, if it is you can research your free solution on this thread or you can purchase unlock from here.
Also: please explain what you mean by "Can't set up Activesync"
the only problem is right now i can't even access my device... there appears to be some sort of lock on it, something to do with usim and i have no clue what it says. but i can't do anything with it
Its probably saying the SIM is incorrect. You may well be SIMLocked....
You need to get it to the today screen to do sspl flashing. Try resetting with no SIM installed. the first thing you should see after the WM splash is the phone dialer saying "The SIM is missing" in japanese. Hit the cancel button which on my TyTN is the first labeled button above the green button to return to the today screen (you may have to experiment to find the right button).
i do get that, but after a few seconds, it goes to a screen where you can put in a code and there is writing on the left soft button, but you can't select it, i assume until a suitable length code is input, and it has no ok button, so i can't even get out of it... help!!!
and by can't set up activesync i mean that i can only get into the today screen for a very limited time, and activesync doesn't seem to connect fast enough, so i'm kind of stuck.
This happens when there's no SIM installed?
yes, it does. but i may have found out something. i can connect to my hermes through activesync on my work computer... hmmm... let me see here...
wow, that was an experience
so i think i'm good, i'll update you guys as teh day goes on, but i may have fixed this myself, and i feel so releived.
yes, the same usim message was coming up regardless of the way i started it up, but i had about 20 seconds of pda usage before it would come up. i got activesync working via the work laptop on the usim screen, and was able to copy sspl over, i restarted and quickly ran sspl, which got me into des's bootloader. from there, it was just a matter of running the ruu i wanted to run in the first place, WM6 .2, and voila, we seem to be back in business... but i don't ever want to do that again, so i think i'm going to flash that hard sspl... but first to test the radio's and and other features.... wow. last time the flash ****ed up on me, i had to pay this guy $30 to fix it, and tho he did, he never wanted me to know how so i could do it myself next time. screw him!!!!
thanks to everyone and their hard work on the forums here. without you, i'd be styling with a razr rather than hacking this thing apart like it was an xbox or psp....
Hi all,
First of all I want to let you know that I did search the forum for a solution. In fact, I found a lot of workarounds but none of them actually worked.
Let me give some details about my problem: My Hermes was working fine. I was running the official WM6 ROM supplied by HTC, so no customized ROM here.
It was going fine until the WM frozed. Then I soft reset the device and after that I never got cellular signal again.
While booting the device I got the message: "no GSM".
First thing I tried was to flash a new radio ROM. In all the attempts the progress bar never moved from 0% and after a while I got the communication problem error.
Then I tried flashing a whole ROM. This time the progress bar stopped at 81%. Apparently in the first 81% it flashes the OS and in the last 19% it writes the radio. Anyway, I tried this a few times and never finished.
In fact, after every communication error message I got stuck in the bootloader screen.
The only thing that works is to flash a ROM WITHOUT the radio!!
Is there anything I can do to save my phone or am I condemned to use my Hermes as a phone-less pda?
I tried everything I found in the wiki/forums, but I couldn't find a working solution.
I suspect that the blocks of memory where the radio data reside got corrupted, could that be possible?
PLEASE HELP!
thanks in advance!
Chris
A similar thing happen to me several months ago. While on a call my phone froze and when I soft-reset it the dreaded 'No GSM' issue appeared. I tried flashing radios/full roms/etc, but nothing worked. I ended up sending my phone to the htc repair facility and they fixed it at no cost. (Other than not having a phone for ~10 days)
Thanks dang, but I don't have a HTC service center where I live (Argentina, LATAM)
I'm faithful that the people of this wonderful community will be able to help me.
Just for curiosity, where did you send your device? Is it in the US?
cheers
sounds like a hardware problem to me...
Hi, there! I found that a lot of us who have bricked our Hermes, don't have a responsive radio bootloader, so when they try to flash a full rom, the progress bar hangs to 13%, or 81%. This is because at that time the flasher is trying to enter the radio bootloader, but because it's corrupted, it hangs. Till today there is no known solution to this one. I'm far away from England where I bought my Hermes, so I'm not thinking to send it back for repair. I'm a programmer, so my knowledge may be usefull here. The first thing I must know is if i can use the "lnb" command without being SuperCID. I mean if there is something like a Hard-SPL with an "lnb" command - (or renamed for security reasons). Maybe there is hope!
How can I try that?

You can use 'lnb' in HardSPL without having a real SuperCID; however you will not be able to flash a radio with 'lnb' command. The radio chipset has its own bootloader, the and the SPL just acts as a pass-through sending the data directly to radio chipset through the s2410 UART.
I had one device with non-responsive htc_boot and tried all kinds of SPL patches to flash htc_boot again on radio, without success. The only known method to fix this is to take the BGA chip out with hot air and reflash it with special hardware, as it is not common to have this equipment at home, your only option is to send it somewhere to do it for you.
However, I don't want to discourage you to research on it, maybe you find something i didn't
I have a similar problem
I also have a NO GSM and corrupted CID but I can access KITL and use it with PB 5.0. and I followed this steps here but the phone doesnt boot completely. It stops just after the two boot screens on Black WM6 ending on a white screen and the debug window on PB after loading all sort of things begin showing these lines over and over:
@@@@@@ HUB state changes now @@@@@@
[HDC]HubStatusChangeThreadPN TRUE
[HDC]HubStatusChangeThreadPN FALSE
Is there any hope for me? I have the cingular 8525
thanks
Gents, do you think the solution presented in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280425 could help me?

I just got my replacement from ATT.. Had the same problem. Its a hardware problem.. I wouldnt waste anymore of your time.
first, i'm sorry for my english
I've the same problem with a V1605 (french SFR), i've tried every solution but flash radio doesn't work.
I can flash cooked os without any problem, but it's impossible to put official
It's only a pda now, it's better than a brick
My hernes use to be the same as you 'NoGSM'.I tried to install the official rom,but it 's not work at all.I called to service center ask this problem,so they said that it must be only changed the mainboard. That 's terrible!!!

Sorry, how to config the phone with KITL and solve the no gsm problem.
No GSM but when sim inserted
Hi all, First sorry for my bad english.
I also have 2 bricked Tytn Hermes 200. Its not my personal ones Its my company's property, which pple were using this phones. So i'm facin with problem which many pple here having but with exception. both phones having no gsm error when sim inserted but without sim its fine. In other words , device info showing every info including IMEI when sim unavailable. And some times works with sim but after making few call and receiving phone hangs(not system) and goes off from network but anthena signal still showing few bars. I'm thinking maybe the radio hangs totally and goes off, and after soft restart NO GSM. I also tried many flashing upgrading those things nothing can really help me.
When im flashing original rom from HTC (the latest one HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108) its hanging on 12% and doing 3 or 4 times recovery , but its finishes succesfully. So what exactly happening in 12th%?. Maybe its started flashing radio and stopped on bad block ? But then why its finishes succesfully after few retry?. Ok so if any one wants to experiments on the phones except radio welcome. I'll help. And some can give me quick example of how to check bad blocks?.
Tnx.
@akarandomjames -
#1. have you try the comm button+reset button hold for 2-3 seconds
#2. OR try the comm button+OK button+reset button hold for 2-3 seconds
anyway, i'm not sure if KITL is dependend on the ROM version. because when my device was in NO GSM status, SPL is 1.04, HTC bootloader is 0108, and lost SuperCID. Because of my device is still has SPL 1.04, i was able to load WM5 full ROM upgrade using WWE HTC English QTEK_001 2.05.255.1 01/17/07 version (ROM available on this site under HERMES Upgrade link), run it twice. once you have successful load the WM5 ROM then try to do step #1 or #2 above to get KITL USB display on your screen device.
Note: i don't think KITL mode is not available once your device is in Production Mode. anyone here can verify this?

My device is still SuperCID and I know I don't have KITL...I have SPL 1.04 as well and HTC Bootloader is 0108. I can't install any ROMs with radios as they will hang at 11/12%. I will attempt this "overload" method where it seems some people have had luck with it...after a few recoveries it just finally installs...but I don't think that will be the case.
If I can't fix this in a few days, I will most likely use my warranty or just wait for the Kaiser.
My variation of No GSM
I feel like I have problem 1A...where I am able to boot into OS but no GSM.
I am still SuperCID, SPL 1.04, HTC Bootloader 0108. Last known radio before corruption was 1.48.00.00. ROM where this problem occured: VP3G 3.60.1.
I was not even in the middle of an upgrade...just a soft reset after my phone ALREADY lost GSM capabilities during a tether session. It was stuck with no signal in Phone Mode...I put it in Flight Mode...then tried to move it back to Phone Mode and it wouldn't do so. I soft reset...and the no GSM stuck.
I tried to reinstall radio...many errors...stuck on bootloader. At first, OS's only were not installing as well but I got past that. Now I am able to boot into OS's with limited capabilities...and they will NOT ACTIVESYNC at all. Regardless of how old or new the ROM is. I tried older OS's that I knew worked in the past for me...but they refused to activesync.
Due to that, I am not able to install latest HardSPL 2.10Oli via SSPL. That seems to be the only way to do it according to my knowledge and what I've read. Maybe mtty was capable but I'm not sure. HardSPL 1.40Oli wasn't giving me any problems though, but I just wanted to have the latest one so I can avoid IPL damage.
I can only install anything if I start the device in bootloader...and I'm only limited to the OS since my Radio Bootloader seems corrupted.
I'm not sure what caused the corruption in the first place...but I feel annoying now posting on different parts of the forum with a problem that seems to be growing in the community.

My Mogul was taken to a store that flashes phones to cricket. So it was ok before I took it to the store now. When I turn the phone on it boots to the smart mobility screen says "No Radio" then turns right off. I formatted my microSD card put the TITAIMG>nbh file on the card put my phone in the bootloader mode. Now my phone turns on and stay in the smart mobility screen w/ the No Radio still on it, and thats it. Is this phone dead? If not HELP!

If you paid someone to flash it, take it back! Did they give you back a non working phone? You'd think they would have tested it???
It sounds like you have a rom / Radio incompatibility problem. Or no radio at all. You say that you put the radio nbh on the card and put it into bootloader mode, but did you actually flash the radio? Did it come up with the grey screen and blue progress bar showing it was actually flashing the Radio rom?
Mogul Dead
No my phone did not do any of that stuff. And no I do not think that I flashed the radio I don't know how. I put the nbh file on the card insert it put it in the tri color screen and nothing happens. Man I am screwed. The kid at the store is saying that I did something & I did not. I have been reading alot cause I do not know anything about this flashing stuff and it does seem like there might be a radio/rom compatability thing going on cause the phone says no radio. I followed some forum steps to no avail.
dude if you get the tri color boot loader screen you did not kill your phone, all you need to do is flash your radio, witch is completely seprate from flashing your OS. just read the wiki and relax
The phone is telling you what is wrong "No Radio" you should be able to flash a radio via your sd card then flash a rom and all should be well. You just need to make sure the radio is compatable to the ROM. What is your ROM Version that shows on your boot screen. Also what bootloader is installed (tricolor screen)
I realize English isn't your primary language, but based on how you phrased your last comment, it sounds like you are inserting the SD card after the tri color screen.
The card needs to be in the phone before you press the 3 buttons for the boot loader screen, then it should see it.
BTC
Mogul Dead
Ok great sounds like from the replies that my mogul is not dead. Ok thanks guys. Also when I put the phone in the bootloader modethe tro color screen the card is already inserted, and the bootloader is SPL-2.40.Olipro. I do not know what ROM was put on the phone when it came from the store. So yeah I just might have to keep tyring to combine the right radio for the right rom thats on the phone.
find radio 3.42.50 and flash it via your sd card
then find the rom you want .....example.... DCD 3.2.6 and flash it via your sd card
then install dcd's carrier cab for you carrier and you should be up and running
Mogul Dead
How do I flash DCD's ROM to the sd card I never did this.
Do you have a ROM ready to flash? If so just goto the wiki link for the Titan's and do some reading. Everything you'll ever need to know about flashing is in there...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Focus on the radio first, once you get it flashed, then you can worry about flashing the rom.
For the rom (not radio) it's much easier, from the tri-color screen, plug in your USB cable and run the .exe file and it will flash.
However, get the radio updated first.
Try the 3.42.50 radio, I personally use 3.42.40 but they are very close and both support the same roms.
BTC
Freaking out as well
I'm stuck at the tri-color screen after updating the bootloader to 2.40.Olipro , I thought I could update the bootloader and still go into my Windows 6.1 install (and update the rest later).
I thought I totally screwed up my phone until I read this thread so hopefully there is still hope for this.
I do not have an SD card so I'm trying to do it the USB method by downloading the "ROM Update Utility" and placing the TITAIMG.NBH file into the RUU directory. It seems to work but stops at about 8% and the phone goes black then the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility pops up a:
ERROR [328]: INVALID COMMAND
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Update Utility.
As you can imagine I'm absolutely panicked right now and will appreciate ANY help!
well save yourself some grief and buy a 2 gig microSD card. Then all you have to do is put the radio ROM on it, go into bootloader mode and let it flash. That is the safest and easiest way to do it. Also less, read nill, chance of bricking your phone.
Ok I'm heading out the door to Best Buy right now...
So once I get the radio installed, I then install DCD using the SD card method? Then the carrier cab?
I've already updated the bootloader to 2.40 using the USB method, will mixing these two cause any issues?
Now that I'm totally stuck at the bootloader, are there any precautions I should take before continuing?!?
Thanks so much for the help, I can't wait to get this going and maybe help out people like myself in the future
I got a 2gb card, formatted it to FAT32, downloaded 3.42.50 radio, renamed it and placed it into the root directory of the card.
I then put it into the phone, then did a POWER+CAMERA+RESET. It comes back to the bootloader screen doing nothing.
I've been reading around and it looks like I'm doing everything correct???? It just sits there and at the bottom it says "Serial"
EDIT: Oh you have to HOLD that combination for a couple seconds. Got it, I'll keep going on the process....
Here's what I just recently posted in another thread for someone wanting step by step instructions on how to flash the phone. He said he followed it and it worked so hopefully it helps you out.
1. Download everything you will need.
a) nueSPL 2.47 from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pag...HTC-Titan.aspx
b) Radio 3.42.50 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415364
c) The ROM from http://www.scottcrosler.com/
2. Back up your SD card and then format your SD card into FAT32 with less than 4kb cluster size. Open My Computer, right click on your SD card, select format and adjust the settings accordingly.
3. Run nueSPL 2.47 on your phone with your SD card in. It will reformat your SD card again and put the bootloader on it. When you reset your phone it will install the bootloader. Just follow the instructions.
4. Copy the nbh file from the radio rom onto your SD card and rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Put it in your phone and put the phone into bootloader mode by pressing CAMERA, POWER, and RESET (the recessed button on the bottom of the phone) at the same time. When it starts up it should come up with a grey screen telling you to press POWER to continue flashing. Do this and wait for it to complete. When it is complete delete the nbh file from your card using your computer.
5. Put the phone into bootloader mode again using the same method as before. Connect your phone via USB to your computer and run the ROM flashing exe to flash the rom. Just follow the instructions that come up. It's easy. When that is done your phone has the ROM installed. If the USB method does not work for you, look for the largest .nbh file and copy it to your SD card, rename the .nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh again, and reset into bootloader again. You should get the same screen as you did when you flashed the radio. When it's complete the ROM is installed.
6. Run the CAB file from My Documents to extract all the other cabs. After that is complete look for the cab for your carrier and install that. Soft reset.
7. Your phone should work now.
I think that's it. Anyone else feel free to correct anything I probably have wrong... I just wrote that from memory. It's normally easy to do and you just follow the on screen prompts so I might've made some mistakes. I always just flash via SD now because it's so easy and I don't require a PC for anything.

The bold text is a step I left out for the other person but he figured it out.
Edit: Oh yeah, skip the part where you install the bootloader (step 3) since you're already running an unlocked bootloader and don't have a working OS on the phone to install 2.47. Once you have a working OS you can go ahead and update from 2.40 to 2.47 if you want a slight improvement in performance. It will not require you to reflash everything else again (or at least didn't for me).
Yes! 100% working. Didn't even have to call Verizon to reactive it, everything was ready to go as soon as I got the new rom.
Thanks for the help!

Did you install the carrier cab?
Also see in EPST. If you use EVDO, may be login and pass are erased after flash. I had same problem with official Sprint ROM.
And what kind of GPS you are talking about? aGPS?
So here i am with situation : i can put just about any rom to my tytn, but the problem is the radio. I have tried god knows how many different radio updates, none of em work. And "work" as in when i start the updater, the percentage stays at 0% and after a minute or two it just says error code 260. Im using my _xp_ laptop to update it, with usb-cable. No, i dont have micro-sd card cause im totally broke :<
So i got this tytn from my friend, for free, it originally contained black satin and yes everything worked. But then i installed hmm, yes, CRCs newest and thats the point it went kaput, the radio i mean.
The information that the magical tricolor gives me is:
HERM200
IPL-1.01
HERM200
SPL-1.40.Olipro
So any advice, im puzzled, searched the forums x^y times.
halp! :<
You don't have Hard SPL V7 installed - SPL = 2.10 oli. I'd install that 1st.
Look, $10 for a 2Gb sd card, surely you can afford that?
Don't get bigger than 2Gb if you want to use the sd card method as bootloader won't recognise it. I use a 256Mb for flashing and an 8Gb for normal use. More than enough...
Go to the Hard SPL thread to find out how to install Hard SPL using the sd card method - page 116, post 1160. Afterwards you can use this method to flash roms, just drop the steps using SSPL.exe (Soft SPL). I wouldn't chance flashing a radio rom using the pc, too many things could go wrong... Once the memory is corrupted, you have a lovely PDA, but no more phone...
Also, try to flash the original radio rom on, it may work, DON'T try flashing other things as you may permanently brick your Hermes...
Cheers...
yeah looks like im going to have to submit to buying that micro-sd after all, ill get it, do some things and report back
thanks for advice
now back to the drawing board ^^->
new developments :
installed hard-spl 7
bought micro-sd card, formatted it to fat32
attempted, or, attemping, as i write, to put in a new radio rom as instructed in page 116 post #1160
the progress bar gets stuck to ~10% and never goes forward
what course of action to take next?
yup, waited ~50 minutes, still stuck at 10% :<
Try the SHIPPED STOCK radio ROM... If you can remember what it is...
People have had success flashing the native raio rom when none other will work. It seems it hasn't got to the "magic" 12% mark where its impossible to recover so you MAY be able to flash, no guarantees as these little buggers can be obstinate and cantankerous...
now am i blind but, where to get this magigal stock radio rom ?

The operator ROMs typically include radio too. You could look for them.
I have a bricked Hermes. Have tried all the things that you have, and some - no luck in getting the radio to work. The PDA part works beautifully. And the battery lasts almost forever...

I live in finland so um, i have no idea what _is_ the original rom, ohwell :<
brick is a brick
btw got a perfectly working tytn ii so no worries ^^ not gonna flash it in _any_ way x)
Hello,
I'm about six hours into the process of trying to revive a nonfunctional HD2 that I purchased. I'm going batty!
Here is my status:
1) have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE (0x05, 0x40) Cotulla HSPL
2) Have downloaded a few different roms (Chucky, TMO official, Energy) but they either get stuck at 0% or 9% (the highest it's gotten)
I'm getting pretty good at pulling the battery - it's like a new skill I never hoped to have!
I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've read about a hundred different posts on this site and I see that people are getting around this, but I'm starting to wonder if my phone has an issue that I can't resolve?
The phone doesn't boot up at all - it just says "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again". Prior to my goofing with it, it just got stuck at the "Stick Together" screen. (Unwittingly bought it that way)
If I use the HSPL3_PKG to install/remove HSPL, it only works (connects to the phone) about one out of ten times, and out of the ~ten times I have gotten it to work, it only completed twice with a "We Hacked It" screen. The rest of the time it errors out just as I think it's getting the job done.
If I boot to the bootloader screen, I can put the USB cable in and see it change from Serial to USB (I've tried the thick and thin cables as some have suggested and haven't noticd a difference yet)
Then I kick of a rom update using the update utility that comes packed with it, and either the update process stops at 0% or it has made it all the way to 9%.
I'm in a position to get a replacement from TMO via the person who bought it (two for one, wife didn't like it, I bought it off of him) but I would rather not.
Any suggestions?
The part number of the phone is 99HKY001-00 B

I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've read about a hundred different posts on this site and I see that people are getting around this, but I'm starting to wonder if my phone has an issue that I can't resolve?
The phone doesn't boot up at all - it just says "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again". Prior to my goofing with it, it just got stuck at the "Stick Together" screen. (Unwittingly bought it that way)
If I use the HSPL3_PKG to install/remove HSPL, it only works (connects to the phone) about one out of ten times, and out of the ~ten times I have gotten it to work, it only completed twice with a "We Hacked It" screen. The rest of the time it errors out just as I think it's getting the job done.
If I boot to the bootloader screen, I can put the USB cable in and see it change from Serial to USB (I've tried the thick and thin cables as some have suggested and haven't noticd a difference yet)
Then I kick of a rom update using the update utility that comes packed with it, and either the update process stops at 0% or it has made it all the way to 9%.
I'm in a position to get a replacement from TMO via the person who bought it (two for one, wife didn't like it, I bought it off of him) but I would rather not.
Any suggestions?
The part number of the phone is 99HKY001-00 B

Once you have Hard-SPL on the device you don't need to worry about that anymore. Flashing Roms and radios will not overwrite it, that's what makes it "Hard". To make sure it's on there go into bootloader and it should show 2.08.hspl.
As for the radio, for TMOUS, just make sure it's a x.xx.50.xx radio (not a .51) and you'll be fine. If you have radio 2.10.50.xx you shouldn't have to change it.
So now I would try downloading one of the stock shipped Tmo ROMs (2.13 or 2.14). Then remove Sim and SD and go into bootloader, connect USB to PC and make sure it says USB on the device (not serial) and run the ROM Update Utility (RUU.exe). See if that works.
i also got this problem ,will try ur method n c
after hspl ,cant flash finish radio 2.14 it says ERROR (290) INVALID COMMAND.

You need HSPL..
HSPL done ,i tried a lot of files only Miri & Dinik n Duttys Leo Sense file can b flash successfully ,it went into menu once but now hang at htc startup again,,is this hardware problem?
i had the same problem last week. Drove me nuts.
i found there are more than one version of HPSL 3.
you have to download the latest one. for more info,
read my posts at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789506&page=18
So you need HardSPL3 (the version is DarkForces Team HardSPL3 by bepe and Cotulla 21.06.2010)
If it still doesnt work, take a photo and post your screen
Still no go...
I have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE (0x05, 0x40) Cotulla HSPL, the latest version I could find.
I just tried to flash RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship and it consistently flakes out at 8%.
I charged the phone all night, booted to the tricolor screen, kicked off the update as an administrator in Win7, the phone got to 8% and then the update flaked out on the PC - "The ROM update encountered communication errors during the update process" (Error [276])
I genuinely think that this phone is bunk - I'm just going to have the fellow I bought it from call in for a warranty replacement.
Thanks for your help, everyone...
SD card flash...
Hi,
I could not see it anywhere in this thread, and also I'm not certain if it is possible on a HD2. But on my xperia I'm usualy flashing from a SD card, copy the image over rename it as KOVSIMG.NBH (guess it would be something like LEOROM.NBH).
Than by pressing (and holding) volume down + power button while the device is off going to the boatloader screen which detects the card (must be inserted and flash from it IF there is the correct file loaded on the card.
Dude,
Did you actually download the HardSPL3 version from DarkForces Team?
If not, dont second guess anything. And if it works, you'll get your phone back.
The file name to download is "HSPL3_PKG.exe". Its by bepe and Cotulla 21.06.2010
If you downloaded the right version. it will support ALL LEO types, and all the SPL versions below:
SPL 1.42.0000
SPL 1.62.0000
SPL 1.66.0000
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
you just select which SPL version to install in the Choose SPL screen. This version also disables the CID Check.
Dont knock it before you try it ..

Yes you are correct you can flash via SD card. You need a 4GB or lower SD card. This is not to say other higher GB SD card will not work, it is just that it has been stated many times the higher SD cards sometimes work to flash a ROM and sometimes don't. The card needs to be formatted with Fat 32. You have to find the RUU_(wharever).nbh and rename it to leoimg.nbh ( you almost got it righ tsnoffy lol) and copy it to your SD card. insert SD card into phone and hold the volume down botton down anx tap the power button keep holding the volume down button down until you see bootloader come up and say searching then let go of the volume down button. The ROM will flash.
