Tried the last build of SK Tools to benchmark unlocked Extended ROM. It hung in the middle. After soft reset, the phone hung on the HTC splash screen, WM splash will not show up. Hard reset restored phone boot, but unlocking the Extended ROM leaded to the same hang.
I've downloaded a version of my ROM, and, using the tools and instructions from Wiki, extracted extended ROM nb, and created an NBH containing only Extended ROM. Flashed it using SSPL from MicroSD. Then restored the latest backup and the phone is up and running again!
All was done using Windows 98SE computer, so no ActiveSync working.
So, this is one more reason why phone may hang on HTC boot screen that is not in the Wiki.
I just wonder what does the number (700 to replace 900) in the text file to pass to nbhgen mean, but it work.
I had a similar thing, the phone hung whilst writing something to extended ROM. It would then not go past the HTC splash. Like you, i got a bit nervous when i realised this wasnt addressed in the wiki!
I took a slightly different approach, using mtty.exe and 1.01mfg bootloader to flash a new extended rom to the appropriate address. Let out a real cheer when i saw the windows mobile splash appear!
Could one of you add this to the wiki perhaps?

Header type for ExtROM inside NBH file is 0x700 for Hermes, 0x900 for Trinity.

Would love to contribute!
But which section? This isnt an upgrading problem per-se... its more to do with writing to the Extended Rom and dramas which arose because the phone hung whilst doing so.
That section could be renamed to something more generic, although I'm not sure that's a good idea. For now, you could just add it in there, it's possible to come up with a reason for it being an "upgrade"
OK, ive put it on the problems page, under "other problems".
Have never edited a Wiki before, please feel free to dress it up a little (i.e. i dont know how to turn words into links to other wiki pages, nor do i understand how formatting works etc etc).
Cheers

I fixed it up a bit; thanks for the writeup!

can someone dump it and put it in the site?
10x
I need too
Hi,
my TouchPro came with 1.90.456.3
I dumped the ROM and rebuild it, following the procedures found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
I had already flashed my device with Hard-SPL, and with Radio 1.02.25.31, so I'm not sure if those are included in the dump/rebuild or not.
The dump and the rebuild went all ok, with no errors.
Pls. note that I haven't flashed it back to my device to test it, as my TouchPro is running perfectly, and I currently don't have the time to mess around with it.
So anybody brave enough can give it a try, or maybe our more experienced cooks, can examine the file in a Kitchen.
I uploaded the .nb file to the link below.
http://rapidshare.com/files/146689698/Raphael_1_90_456_3_dumped_and_rebuild.nb.html
So you probably have to rename it to ruu_signed.nb and use the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe
This ROM is corupted...
ok, sorry, as said, follwed the instructions on how to dump and rebuild under the link above to the letter. I'm not a cook, so can't really say what may have gone wrong :-(
Hi,
I often get PMs from people having the Format Failed error.
So I decided to read all the threads in this forum talking about that problem.
First: There are at least 2 reported cases of getting the Charmer alive again.
Knowing that it is possible but not well documentated I decided to start figuring it out myself.
So here is everything I found out so far:
There is a special not fully known combination of flashed ROMs that can fix the problem.
It has something to do with the EPPROM and only happens in the Charmer. The prophet using the exactly same EPPROMs don't have that problem.
And the Prophet is the key to fix the whole thing.
There IS a first package of ROMs and a manual how to flash them. I hope some people having that problems still have their Charmers and are willing to try it out.
How to use it:
-Put your Charmer into bootloader mode.
-Kill Active Sync.
-Connect the Charmer to your PC
-Run the Run_Me.bat file. Ignore all the other files.
-Click the things in the RUU like normal.
-Followe the instructions you can see in the comand Window.
Download:
-http://rapidshare.com/files/295942647/Format_failed_fix.zip
Hope we can get the whole mess fixed finaly.
Reserved for some other day.
thanx a lot, I try it. Its a second charmer I have from a friend with that problem. My charmer works fine with win6.5 !
Nice to hear that there are testers for it. Please do exactly what I said otherwise it won't work.
OK, I have IPL 3.08.0001 and SPL 3.08.0001
I try your batch and when the first update utility starts with (aku1) I got an error 238: File read. Can not open requestet file. Is the first rom broken?
I flashed the second rom by myself (Prophet.nbf) and it flashes till 95% than stops with an error. rom not for your device.
you have the aku1 rom again? perhaps its broken.
Maybe it is broken. I don't know. You get the error cause you haven't flashed the first ROM. I don't have the ROM again. That was the only copy I found in the web. Maybe you can find one.

Hallo again my friend.
You know I am one from the people that PM you for this problem
I did not want to bother you again,so while trying to search for the AKU1 rom,I found your post.
I am downloading it right now,and I will let you know.
Thanks a lot.
The AKU1 out of it is brocken and I wasn't able to find a new one till now. So IT WON'T WORK!!!!!!! If you have got a Aku1 tell it to me otherwise this projekt is stuck.

Well,I have exactly the same problem.
The AKU1 rom can not be flashed.I don't know if it is broken or not.
But I noticed that the size is 70,5 MB,while others are 71,2 MB...
Is there a possibility to get another AKU1 rom from somewhere?

If YOU,the MASTER, were not able to find an AKU1 rom,Ithink it is useless for me to google for it...
Thanks for your interest and your efforts....
I found one. But it was bad. I'm not the master. I'm not even good compared to the real masters of the old days. You can try to search one. I stoped searching when I found the first. So there is still hope.

I know that you have tried,although you did not have to.I was just joking,please don't take it as an offence!!
I made a quick search,but nothing.I know that AKU1 is very very old.But is there a different term to search for?I mean,searching for AKU!,does not lead anywhere.Is there a specific name for the rom to search for it?Does it matter if it is English or German?I suppose it must be WM5...
It has to be Charmer WM5 with IPL and SPL 1.x . The Language doesn't matter.
Hi everybody,
Well yesterday i figured out that i could update my rom.
I started to look the Arthemis thread to find out what's new.
I saw SSPL and the 3.14 rom.
I downloaded the 3.14 rom and i installed it.After that i took the SSPL and the Arthemis V42 Rom and tried to install it. No success.
After that i took the energy rom to install it and it works but i still have the 3.14 rom display instead of the energy rom.
So right now i'm a little bit stuck cause i don't know what to do
Here's my specs:
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
Systeme version : 5.2.21684 (21684.5.3.10)
Manila version : 2.5.20191914.0
Rom version: 09 November 2010 FRE
Radio Version: 2.12.50.02_2
Protocol Version : 15.40.50.07U
So i'm asking you guys a little help please to put energy or new arthemis back in my phone.
Thanks for your help
Ps: ( I need help on how to put my phone back to normal i'm a little confused about SSPL and the 3.14 rom :s )
run Task29
! Read Edit 2 down below first !
Well, you could try to run Task29. That will purge your ROM and leaves it nice and perfectly clean for another ROM without the risk of residua in the memory.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
You will need to install a radio ROM after that, too. But having the memory wiped clean this way between installs is a good way to avoid trouble.
ThoroSOE
Edit 1: To reset your phone to normal (SPL, too) just download an original ROM and unpack the file with something like 7zip. Take the largest file (easy to spot) and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Copy that to your freshly formattet memory card and bring up your phone to the bootloader screen (power up with volume down pressed). It will then prompt to install the original ROM. This will overwrite HSPL and any ROM and Radio ROM you installed.
Edit 2: It could be that with ROM 3.14 the SPL is too new for HSPL! Mind that it just supports specific SPL versions! Check that! I think 3.14 has an 3.XX SPL version.
Before I could install HSPL properly I had to downgrade my ROM with an older original one to get the proper SPL (see Edit 1).
Thanks i try it now ill let you know.
Sir you don't need to look fare for your problem.
The problem is that stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL!!
And about Artemis ROM; I suggest you to take your time and read the "How to install?" At the Artemis ROM.
If you did it; you was ale to see you need to remove HSPL before install stock ROM 3.14!
thanks kurt-willems for answering me.
Can you tell me hat i need to do step by step please ?
I will really appreciate.
Thanks for help guys.

So after reading the entire post on how to flash arthemis rom i did all the steps but i am stuck at the step 7
7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v40 RUU_Signed_0409.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.
I did all as it is explained in the thread my SSPL is good etc but when i launch SSPL + arthemis nbh, i got into the bootloader.
I tried like 5 times and i start to be angry.
So if you can help me it would be great.
Thanks
Ok i dont have nerves to do it again, can you guys just simply explain me how to uninstall SPL 3.03 and just install HSPL 2 and put a simple rom cause right now my phone don't work because of that.
Thanks you guys for reading me.
If you will install Artemis ROM I suggest you to use v42.0!
I/we know that flashing over SSPL isn't alway's easy (it will not start alway's)
but some important things to know is to deactivate your Anti-Virus; and creating a file with only the rom.nbh and SSPL_RUU in it nothing els!
(PS; Artemis ROM v42.0 starts better than previous v41.0 (own experience))
But if you will return to previous settings;
Reinstall a previous stock ROM ex 1.66 ore 1.47 (depending of you're aria)
Reinstall HSPL use HSPL3_RUN.exe fore this.
Thank you kurt willems for your time.
So after reading a lot of things , i did everything but im still stuck at the installation of the arthemis rom.
I got a message in the phone saying: This program is trying to acces to your phone etccc... Bootloader.exe. And if i say YES then the program launch bootloader and the installation fails. If i say NO then the program stops.
I'm downloading right now the version 42 of arthemis and i will give it a try.
If its doesnt working then i'll rollback to my previous rom.
Thanks again for your time.

I know this event sir, I have guide lot of users in this part. When you are on the bootlouder screen and at the bottom there is no mention of "usb" the installation will fail.
Its very important to be sure that your device is connect (control it in Active sync), Anti-Virus is turn off, the folder have only the rom.nbh and the SSPL_RUN (nothing more) in it, changing from USB port if you can.
And don't double click on SSPL_RUU fore run, but left click on it and select run ass administrator.
Lately I guide a other user on this and it have takes him 5 tray's
Ow, to be sure you have a good SSPL_RUU version takes mine: Download
Thanks but right now i just want one thing.. My phone to work.
I downloaded V42 and still the same problem.
I downloaded stock rom V1.93 from orange and i can't install it , don't ask me why.
So right now basically my phone is on the stock 3.14 rom and i don't know what to do to put an old rom and to flash to a energy rom with HSPL 3.
Seriously this all thing start to piss me off , no offence guys you making good stuff but sometimes its just to risky to flash.
I followed all the steps one by one and right now i got a useless phone in my hands.
I'm searching a way to get an old rom to be installed and desinstall SSPL.
If you can help me it would be great , im still searching.
You can flash a older stock ROM over SD.
Read my first post. There you can read how to reset to stock (Edit 1). Use an older stock ROM for a proper SPL that works with HSPL.
Install HSPL as instructed in the "how to flash everything" thread.
Run Task29 (see my first post)
Install Radio ROM with x.50.x in it from desktop via Active Sync (you need a Custom_RUU.nbh and the desired Radio ROM).
Install the main ROM you like, f.e. Energy ROM (that's what I use) normally from destop via Active Sync (Energy is one package that works like an official update).
Never had any problems with this way, never needed more than one try.
Hey ThoroSOE i rode Edit 1 and Edit 2.
I hope its not that much to ask but, could you give me a WWE rom like you said in Edit 1 to put it in the SD card ?
It would be really appreciated.
I'm downloading right now a official orange rom (1.66) but i tried installing the 1.43 and it didnt worked, thats why i'm asking you the question for a WWE rom to accomplish what u told me on Edit 1.
Thanks you guys for helping me.
Ok i'm trying this right now Edit 1: To reset your phone to normal (SPL, too) just download an original ROM and unpack the file with something like 7zip. Take the largest file (easy to spot) and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
With the 1.66 official rom.
I will let you know.
Ok so i tried to do what u told me on edit 1.
I enter in bootloader and what i get is a nice :
Loading ...
Then
00028002
Not Allow
Can someone can tell me how to uninstall SSPL >?
Cause i really start to go crazy

SSPL isn't install on your device! so there is no need to remove it.
Did you tray to install stock ROM over SD!?
Witch are your errors you get?
Hmmm. Installing an official ROM from SD card shouldn't be a problem. If you have a branded device you should install an official ROM that matches your provider and area. For later purposes like installing HSPL it doesn't matter how old it is - as long as it is not too NEW ;-)
That way of installing a ROM (via SD card) ist kind of the brute way. As long as you use a ROM matching your provider and/or area it should overwrite ANYTHING in your phone memory...
When I unsintalled HSPL for the first time that way my HD2 aborted the update in midprocess but restarted updating automatically. After that it went through without problems; I didn't have to do anything.
I used the official 1.66 ROM from the HTC support page (unlocked device).
IMPORTANT: Did you name the ROM file for the SD card LEOIMG.nbh - in all capital letters? As I understand it, the bootloader is case sensitive. So it must be LEOIMG and not leoimg. Also did you format your SD card properly? It must be FAT 32, 4092K - and better not be done with quick formatting.

Please guys help me out i really don't know what do to anymore..
Hey Guys,
I know that there propably existed several threads about this topic, although I could not find one, which really helps me or I still wasn't sure what to do.
So I hope you can help me doing this successfully and getting rid of my hd2 ...
I flashed a Nexus ROM, have Magldr on it and try to get my phone back in Windows Mobile 6.5 for guarantie issues.
So first I know that I have to get the right ROM ... I have read that this would work via htc.com but to be honest, I just find there ROM Upgrades, no original Stock ROMS to download. TO mention, I am looking for the German Stock ROM.
My next question is, if everything will be gone when flashing?! ... MAGLDR,HSPL ... that stuff?
I just downloaded an upgrade ROM from HTC which is working with my S/N off the phone, but it is an .exe file. I can install that, while plugging my phone to my laptop, or I just unrar that .exe and get several files. One of that is .ruu ...
I have read in another thread that this file is to rename. After that I should put it on my sd Card and flash that. Is that right? I am not quite sure about unrar an .exe file and getting so much files, while just using the .ruu ...
I hope that someone takes a little bit of time and answers the questions. Would be very kind. Looking forward to some replys ...
Thanks a lot in advance
First of all, congratulations to your first post.

thanks a lot.
So one question remaining ... As is said I just can download ROM Upgrades but not the original stock ROM ... is that okay, does that work?
ROM Upgrade means full original STOCK ROM.
Done everything as described.
First Update my Phone froze ... I started it again
Second attempt:
LEOIMG.nbh FAIl
the rest is listed with "ok"
RUU_Wallpaper1 FAIL
=> Update Terminate / Update Fail written on the screen ..
what now ?
Your HD2 shouldn't do that.
What are the warrenty issues you wanted your HD2 flashed back to WM6?
You can try to install HSPL and do a Task29 before you start the procedure again.
Well it froze all the time, when activating wifi or mobile data ... when activating that it gets kind of warm in the back of sd card ... I guess it is the cpu .. so I want to send it back where I bought it, because it is an hardware issue in my opinion ... tried three different softwares (win mobile, android desire and nexus) ...
Well is there any guide of reinstalling hspl and doing a task29, whatever that is
Search function is a very usefull tool...
Maybe you will have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977
Yes I know, I am sorry ... started to use that ....
Installed HSPL new, did a task29
followed the instructions again ... the same ...
the suspect thing is that every try of the new rom anohter thing fails ...
this time OS failed, the rest worked .... last time wallpaper1 failed, the next time wallpaper 1 worked, but two failed ... I don't know what to do ...
And it is totaly correct that I just put the LEOIMG.nbh on the sd card ?
What are my options ... talking to HTC support?
Kind of despered now
Yes, to copy RUU_signed.nbh file to SD and then to rename it to LEOIMG.nbh is the only thing you have to do.
Have you tried another SD?
Have you tried to redownload the ROM file? Maybe your file is corrupted.
Have you removed HSPL before you tried to flash?
Is your battery fully charged?
Well it worked finally ...
I started the flash and put the phone in the fridge => ... flash successfull ... I gues that is the evidence that there is a serious hardware issue ...
thanks for your great help and taking time ... now I can send it back to Amazon ...
