relocking issues and specifics.. solved - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I am relocking my phone from DCD 3.2.6 because I need to have Sprint repair a broken Talk, End and Voice button, in addition to a broken SD card reader. Yeah, my phone is eff'd.
Ran into problems when reflashing the stock Sprint ROM. I was reading the wiki and used the RUU that came with the stock 3.56 ROM RAR file. Unfortunately, it kept giving me an "incorrect image" error. Finally, I figured out that I had to use the specific RUU that I need to download by itself, which the wiki didn't have a link to on that particular stock ROM page (found the RUU file on the WM6.1 wiki page) and actually copy the stock xxxxxxxxx.nbh file into that RUU directory.
During the reflashing, it was going good until I opened and closed some folders on my laptop and it made the reflashing hang at 59%. Apparently, it actually is picky about NOT touching your computer during the reflashing process. I had to restart the reflashing process and it worked the second time. Whew!

Tried upgrading radio and now won't boot

So I did the HardSPL when I redid the phone a couple of months ago and lately it hasn't been getting service and just stopped altogether. So I looked to see what radio version I had and it said none.
So I proceeded to update the radio but I did not do the HARDSPL again as I already did it before. Well as I went through the whole process it said there was an error and told me to remove the batter. I did all this and now it won't boot up its just at the ROM screen or whatever with the three different colors.
How do I get it to boot up so I can get it to activesync and reimage it? I'm stuck and it just won't boot so I don't know what to do. Thanks
Oh and I've tried all the steps in getting by the bootloader by disabling usb and all that and it still doesn't work
I had the exact same problem yesterday ... connect it to your USB cable, and flash it with a STANDARD ROM, ie one downloaded from your phone's provider's site.
ie. We get our TyTNs through a local HTC distributor called Leaf Wireless. I downloaded the AKU3 rom from their site, and ran it. Reflashed my TyTN to their original AKU3 ROM, and after that I could reflash with whatever I wanted to
How do I reflash if I can't get it to activsync with mycomputer or don't you need to with a standard rom flash?
So I tried to do it with an original ROM and it gets to 12% done and fails everytime. How do I get this to boot back up normally?
If you go to the wiki it tells you how to do a rom upgrade off an SD card. I would try that route and re flash a ROM and radio that you know works, then take it from there.
Is all in the wiki.
Good luck.

Can you post a link to that wiki? I couldn't find the one you were referring to. Thanks
I have had the same issue and even though I still have gotten it to somewhat work I'm almost sure something is wrong and I will have to send it in for a warranty repair. Here are the steps I followed using the official 8525 rom download. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
After that Windows worked fine but still no radio (no gsm error). I downloaded the new radio only file off of the forums which didn't seem to work. I took my phone into the att wireless store and the lady reset my sim, somehow the radio started showing up and working.
I literally spent all day on this yesterday and it is hell. If you have any questions let me know I can guide you through it.

Not sure how you couldn't find it. Anyway here you go>> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing

Totally flummexed with replacement phone

got a new phone from verizon and have been trying to upgrade it.
I first loaded the new MR1 so I could make sure I had the latest radio.
Then I installed the new Unlocker (2.7).
Then I tried to run DCD 3.2.6. It wouldn't go past 0% then went to the Recovery Mode.
Then I tried PPCGeek kitchen, same result.
I read that I need to go back to a NON GPS ROM.
I just tried dcd 1.6.7: SAME RESULT.
So...now what do I do?
Have you checked the Wiki?
Yes, I looked at the wiki...I read through the whole FAQ and the troubleshooting guide.
am I missing something? can you give me a clue?
try flashing from sd.

I'm getting the error [262] Update Error.

I was putting my Titan back down to stock so I could enable GPS (I had it working, but it stopped when I activated my Centro to get data back). Anyways, I forgot to unplug and plug back in the USB. Now no matter what I do It's telling me that the ROM Update utility has encountered communication errors with the device. I should also probably mention that I can still get to the boot loader itself. Any ideas?
Flash via sd card method.

How do I do that if I can't get to Windows Mobile to run the nueSPL executable?
Maybe you should have done some reading before you got into this flashing.

I actually did quite a bit of reading before flashing. My problem is that I didn't disconnect the USB cable like I should have when flashing back to the original boot loader. It stopped and now I'm stuck. I tried putting the bootloader the relocker tried to install on the SD card and named it TITAIMG, but it gets stuck at the gray screen saying "loading...". I tried the exitbl but it tells me that it can't find any sessions. I tried running the program again, but I wind up with communication errors. That's why I'm asking for help now, I've tried everything I've found to try...

What carrier do you have? Did you run the "GetBackToStockXV6800"?
What radio, Bootloader are you running?
"I tried putting the bootloader the relocker tried to install" (PLEASE CLAIRIFY).
I think it may be working now. I went back to what drew said about using the SD and I tried the one file I hadn't tried. I had tried all of the .nbh files in the directory (stock radio and bootloader), but not the stock ROM itself. I had assumed that since the program quit halfway through flashing the bootloader hadn't installed properly. It would appear I was wrong. So, thanks for the help, Drew, and thanks for being so willing to help cac2us.

Your welcome,
Have you decided to go with a custom ROM, or are you ready to try PPC Kitchen (BuildOS)?
Keep in mind, if you flash a custom ROM with programs that you later want to update with newer versions, you may not be able to uninstall the original versions.
I'm thinking I'll try PPC kitchen. My biggest problem now is deciding how badly I want windows mobile 6.5. I love the touch friendly GUI and the desktop version of IE, but I'm not able to run TVU or Pandora because they use more memory than I have available.

I found that "ZOOM BROWSER" is quite a hog. And "Titanium" eats more than "SPB Mobile Shell 3".
And with "NueKernel", 6+mb. from the camera is just a soft reset away.
But I mainly load apps that I can't find a cab file for, so when an update comes out, I can just update without re-coocking the ROM.
Enjoy.

Troubleshooting Flashing

Hey everybody im charles!
Every time i try to flash a rom to my HD2 i do everything correctly but i get to a screen that says "the update utility can not open the requested file" so should i do or is there a different roms that will support my phone
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08 HSPL 8g XE
COTULLA HSPL 0x05
0x40
Thank you
sounds like you aren't putting the nbh file and customruu into a folder together.
either that, or you aren't extracting the nbh file from its zip, perhaps.
give us some details, especially filenames.
Where can i find some roms, where every thing is connected... dont i open up the rur or do i put everythinng in one file??
hey charles,
u should extract the zip file (or 7z) and then make sure you put ONLY the nbh file and the customRUU in a separate folder. execute the customRUU. many files should appear for a short while. give it a shot.
p.s. you can go for the ENERGY ROM SERIES. it is my favourite ROM! and it never gives me problems while flashing!
cheers!
Flashing stuck on 0%
I've flashed HSPL 3 to my phone successfully about a month and flashed my first ROM, and then my second, and third, and so on with no problems.
A few weeks ago, my phone stopped charging and I assumed it was a hardware issue, so I flashed my phone back to stock through a website that was suggested here on xda-developers with success.
My plan was to ship my phone back in at get it replaced through the warranty but after I flashed back to stock, the phone was charging without a problem. Figuring it was a ROM issue, I wanted to flash a simple compressed ROM and got as far as the point where my phone and computer were both on the percentage screen showing 0%, but that's where it stays. No matter what ROM I try to flash, including ones that worked fine in the past, it stays at 0%.
The only thing I can think of where I may have screwed up, is that when I decided not to send the phone back in and was preparing to flash a new ROM on there, I flashed HSPL3 again, thinking that because it had been flashed with the stock rom, it would flash EVERYTHING back to stock. I'm assuming this is what screwed things up, but I'm a pretty big noobie and could use some help. Any ideas?!
when you flashed back to stock, if you used sd card then it will have removed hspl, meaning flashing hangs at 0%
when you later flashed hspl3 again, did you forget to change the dropdown from 2.08.0000to 2.08.hspl? (very common error)
boot into bootloader, see what it says by "spl".
Well, I flashed back to stock via USB which I later read that it would undo the HSPL3 flash, which is why I wondered why that might be the problem. When I just entered bootloader mode, it says SPL-2.10.0000 not 2.08.0000.
That must have been it. I just reflashed the HSPL3 and this time it through up the we hacked it screen. Don't remember that happening the last few times. I'll try flashing the new rom and see how it works out. Thanks so far! : )
Funny how quickly things can turn from large, seemingly unanswerable, problem to "wow, how could I have possible missed that" in a matter of seconds! THANK YOU!
heh, glad to help. an outsiders view is always the best place to try figure out problems.

[Q] Help needed with flashing stock rom

Hello
Since a week or two I get color distortions on my screen (blue/yellow stripes), this seems a hardware/motherboard related issue, and therefore I'm returning my HD2 to the store.
For this reason I'm trying to flash my stock ROM back, namely _HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship. It's one I got directly from HTC's product support site.
As I've come to understand, flashing the stock ROM from an microSD card, will immediately put the right radio back in place as well.
However, I tried to flash this leoimg.nbh (from microSD yes), but the flashing failed and I got a RUUNBH error. So using HSPL I updated my radio back to 2.08.HSPL, and from there back to a TMOUS radio, to reinstall my beloved ChuckyROM.
I almost thought my phone was ready for the trash.
Now the question is... what is the right way to get back to my stock ROM? Preferrably without potentially trashing my phone..
I'd like to get back to one of these:
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.48.404.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.43.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
Edit:
I'm currently using ChuckyROM with TMOUS radio 2.11.50.26 which seems to be relevant as well since some people seem to have bricked their phone with a TMOUS radio.
Edit 2:
Solution that worked for me
I recommended this one.
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30. 50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship
It's the last update in the list you have.
Ore; depending from your country this one.
It's the one I use when I go back on stock Rom before I install cooked Rom.
RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
Yes, but it's also the one that "crashed" during the flashing. I'm looking for the correct steps to flash them.
I was using ChuckyROM with the TMOUS radio, and then all I did was rename the RUU_signed.nbh in the exe file to leoimg.nbh and put it on the microSD-card. Then reset my phone (and pressed volume down) and the flashing began.
Should I have done something else first/instead?
Thanks for the reply
Small bump
Quick update on this one.
I managed to get back to a stock rom with the following steps:
I downgraded HSPL by running HSPL2, and selected the "1.42.HSPL" version.
Then I extracted the .nbh from _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.43.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship, and flashed the whole thing (from microSD card).
Something weird happened during this step. I wasn't able to launch the flashing by doing a reset+vol.down. Instead I put the .nbh on my microSD AND started the RUU upgrade with ActiveSync.. somehow this magically triggered the install of the .nbh that was on my microSD. This luckily worked.
From here I got back to a ROM version that was available on the HTC product site, namely _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.48.404.2_Radio_Signed_15.28. 50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship. I just ran this update with ActiveSync, not from microSD.
AFAIK, it's now safe for me to bring it back for warranty! ^^
