Last night I received an alert on my phone stating "This copy of Windows Mobile expires within 30 days on 12/01/2009."
This morning I reloaded Da_G's 23420-fuze-uncompressed ROM and received the same expiration message.
Is there a fix for this expiration date or is someone working on it? I have attached a screen shot to show the message. My apologies for it not being clear, iPhones don't have the ability to take good macro photos.
Oh yeah, and I did a search and found nothing on the topic.

From the looks of it, the shell wasn't patched during the cooking process. Odd, you say this is Da_G's ROM? Usually he is on top of things.
Wot daaaa :S
Try this: bump your calendar up a month, and see if the device pukes on you. It won't; the shell has been patched, but the notifications are still in the queue. You can delete the notifications with dotfred's task manager or sk tools.
Actually I am having the same issue!! Was using Baseline ROM and got the Error. I changed date to 1/1/10 and POOF WinMo is now gone =( cant use phone at all...... !!
What do you mean WinMo is gone? It doesn't start anymore? That is weird indeed. You should fash a new ROM and see what happens...
its gone as in a white message and everything is disabled.. cant even get rid of the expiration message..
Cant flash to new Rom cause comp wont even find it anymore when usb is connected.....ugh!
i had my phone disappear once You get a message that your version expired and then you can't enter any apps and data connections are disabled. All you need to do is force a hardware hard reset of the device - it was restore your ROM and you'll start the clock over. It's not fun but iut's better than a phone that's nonfunctional.
i think you need an patched shell32.exe, because yours is timebombed, but actually(since last week) i dont know where to get this patched exe...
which os build do you use? maybe i have one 4 you
maybe search this thread:

Did you flash a Rom without first flashing Hard SPL?
If you have flashed with Hard SPL you should be able to run the boot loader by pressing Vol down button and reset at the same time, keep holding the Vol down button and the boot loader screen should load. You should them be able to connect to your pc and re flash another ROM.
Other than that if you have flashed a ROM without first flashing Hard SPL then you must have ignored all the warnings which strongly suggest that you could brick your phone. I hope this is not the case.
nice news
sorry mates but i really like this messages. coz i always hated wm6.5 and its honeycomb desıgn. may be it pushs cookers to make beauty wm6.1 roms

The Timebomb is active! I bumped the calendar up and it froze up and locked me out. I can no longer use the phone. Below is the error message that I received.

You can do what he said and you should also be able to flash from your SD card. Please say you have a card reader.

I'm 99% sure you can't replace the shell.exe file once a ROM has been flashed. It's something that has to be cooked into the ROM. Anyone have any success replacing the shell.exe after a flash?

I'm re-flashing the phone now, so it will be back to normal in about 20 minutes. I guess we have ~30 days to get a fix for it.

That sucks, hopefully you didn't lose anything. You going to stick with 23420, or trying another flavor? Have you tried your hand at cooking yet?

I'm surprised that it snuck in; I've tested my 23081 build (which has the notifications), and the timebomb was patched properly. Maybe you should pm Da_G just so he knows. You can sometimes overwrite shell32.exe I believe, but it's not a great way to fix things. You're better off cooking in the patched shell.
HI, im using Energty 23016 25/10 and no message until now. I has sync with my phone and everything its normal...

Ok, turn your phone off. Now, simultaneously hold vol down, hold the power button, and use your stylus to press the reset button on the bottom. That will take you to the tri-color screen. Plug your USB into your phone and reflash.

I have searched and searched these forums and have seen several other people with this problem but no solution. I have also looked through the wiki to no avail, so if someone can give me an answer I would really appreciate it.
I have been able to get into the bootloader screen (the r-g-b white stripes) however there is NO text (no serial, no usb) on the screen and it is not recognized by any pc. Can't get any response from mtty.exe because it can't see the USB port. Have tried on multiple PC's...
Is there another way to resurrect this athena or is it DOA?
Thanks,

Thanks for the advice though!
Did you try resetting - camera button and reset button on the back (I think...) pressed together.
Forum search will tell you exactly...

Yes, tried the hard reset (camera + reset) the alternate reset (comm + camera + reset) and even the other reset (volume slider + camera + reset). And yes, I was pushing down firmly on the camera button.
Each reset brings me to the tri-color bootloader screen with NO text. No model number, no OS version, no "USB" / "Serial"....just the red-gree-blue-white stripes.
I have looked extensively at all the forums, used the google search for the site and combed the wiki with no luck.
So do you think it is a lost case?

I was trying to load a new ROM but I assumed that I had to use the OliPro unlock first.
Got to the radio flash and that is where it crapped out.
Now that I have read a little more carefully it looks like I don't need to use the OliPro beyond the first step for the stateside unlocked 7501.
Thanks,

when your on bootloader ? does windows detect a usb generic device ?
Nope. Tried 3 different PCs. Shut down all the activesync processes. No luck. No detection that anything is cabled to the advantage.
I am thinking that it is warranty time.
Damn, I hate this....its just the principle of the thing...

Key rule to remember is to always make sure the Advantage is Fully charged. Try charinging it and reflashing it with the factory rom, located here. http://www.america.htc.com/download/RUU_Athena_HTC_US_2.19.453.4_105_1.47.51.00_Ship.exe. Keep us posted and let us know how it went
have you removed the sim and memory card
just checking basics
try that with a full charge and then enter bootloader and connect to usb
Thanks for all the help! I gave up and warrantied a new unit where I WAS successful in loading a new ROM.
I have learned several valuable lessons in the ROM upgrade process. This was on an advantage 7501, unlocked, USA version. I did the upgrade the process with the OliPro 3.0 unlocker, the PK Rom 3.0 and vista pro (32bit):
- Make sure that you have NOT customized your athena/advantage beyond the basic calibration and cut/paste walkthrough.
-Download ONLY THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THE OLIPRO UNLOCKER. CHECK TWICE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE LATEST.
-You MUST let step one of the Unlock complete. With the latest version this will make a bricked Advantage practically impossible.
-Go through step 2 & 3 even if you don't think you need this. It will upgrade the radio and give you peace of mind if you are updating to the PK rom.
-Don't panic if you complete step 1 and goof step 2/3. You can recover. But if you screw up the initial SPL unlock in step1...it is not going to be pretty.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for everyones advice!

hello folks,
first off thanks to all the people who help make this forum better and better.
have used you're help a few times especially trying to flash a rom. but now there's a problem... I've installed artemis Rom a couple of times but I wanted the newest so I've downloaded it, flashed my hd2 with task29 like always. pressed vol. down button it restarted until white boot screen. ok, possible, so I reset it and press vol. down again. but still white boot screen. after trying it for 70(!) times. I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!
Info:
Cotulla hspl 1.42.00
Task29 by dooloop performed( got stuck after that)
Rom Artemis. 31.5 (current) 35.1 (wanted to install.
Thanks In Advance

Two possibility's;
Tray to do a hard reset,
Ore tray to install Stock Rom!
tried hard reset. (pulled out battery waited 20 sec. then put it back in. pressed vol. down and power button.) didn't work for 30 times...
have put leoimg.nbh on sd card. but can't get to the tri-colour bootloader so can't install anything...
Thanks for you quick response by the way.
If I get into bootloader there should be no problem but I can't get there :S
I'm out off Idea; tray to send Sir Sternas a PM with your question, maybe he get some Ideas; ore tray to ask this question on the Artemis Thread, there are also helpful peoples out there!
Edit; I just add your question on the Artemis thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450678#post8450678

As Luka1111 said, you haven't done a hard reset. Check this out:

Dmm;
That I didn't see/read it correctly the way he did a hard reset??
I think it is HSPL 1.42 or an old RADIO-ROM.
System specs for Artemis are SPL 1.66 or above and RADIO 2.07.51.22_2 or above.
Install newest Stock ROM with the mentioned versions or flash HSPL and RADIO manually.
Best regards

Sorry, have not read you can't access tricolor bootloader. Have you tried without SIM and SD? If not try to flash HSPL and RADIO without SIM and SD.

What´s the size of your SD-Card? Flashing from SD works only with max. 8 GB - Card, 16 GB or more won´t work! (Own experience!)
Can you connect your device to ActiveSync? Or otherwise stated: What happens when you connect your device to your PC? Does ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center even startup?
BTW, what happens when you start your device now? Does it hang or just load your old Artemis version??

Hi Uli,
the poor man cannot enter bootloader mode and, as I understand from his posts, not connect to his PC. So how can he flash HSPL and/or Radio? There must be something fundamentally wrong with his device, but I also had a similar problem a few weeks ago and, although it took a lot of time, I managed to get it to work again.
BTW, as I already mentioned SPL 1.42 is not the problem.

Hey Kuzibri, You are absoluteley right. I get no connection true active sync or anything. I'm pretty sure there's something really wrong here. never had this problem before. btw I've mistaken with

I'm Really confused right now. and Pissed off at the same time...
I mean I loved my HD2 with Artemis Rom close to beeing perfect.( installed Igo8 witch right before I went on holliday, stopped working but mannaged to get TomTom navi to work ) then suddenly my answer button stopped working. so I figured let's install a new Version of Artemis rom. I backed up all my files using microsoft my phone. then used task29. done. So I tried to get to the bootloader.... Nothing. tried attatching it to the pc and hoping it would start if I pressed the custom rom .exe (Read somewhere id might work) Nothing not even a blank screen for startup. now I've got nothing else I can think of. please, U guys have given me so much good suggestions.

Hey guys,
maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?
If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.
Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.
Best regards,
Uli

As I already mentioned, this poor guy has a major problem with his device, which seems to be hardware related (either volume down button does not work or the on/off key). After having extensive contact with him by phone, the only solution seems to be to bring it back to the store to let it repair. Unfortunately, he will have a great chance to loose his warranty, because HTC probably will be able to found that there is another ROM installed. Whish Maarten good luck with his problem!! Also very sorry I could not help you to solve your problem. I'm personally very disappointed by that!

Hello guys i have a problem with my HTC HD2.
I have searched a lot on this site before posting my problem.
This is what happens and what i did:
The phone doesn't pass the white HTC screen with the RGD letters below.
What i have tried:
HSPL 2.08.HSPL, 1.66, 1.42, 2.08.000
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.08.50.05, Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
Roms: Stock Vodafone (Dutch) rom, Energy rom
Hard reset (vol up +down on startup).
Tried task 29 and started everything all over again
I went to the a phone store, they couldnt help me. Afterwards i went to the official store but i don't have my receipt anymore so i don't have a warranty..
So i think i have tried everything i could find on this forum. Tried most of the HSPL versions with diferent roms. But all of them stay on the startup screen (white htc start screen)
If someone can help me please, this is really my last chance
Thanks,
Issam
ps. i hope this is the good section to post this problem.
Well the phone starts up now (it actually works for a few minutes!). I haven't changed anything, the only thing i did is leave the battery out for like 1 hour. But everytime i start up the phone it freezes and / or turns of after 1 min or something. Sometimes it doesn't even boot up like the usual problem, but then i remove the battery for 10 minutes and it boots normal again.
So i really don't have a clue
i was experimenting all day again with my htc.
What i found out was, the longer i keep my battery out of the phone the longer i can use it.
For example: I had the battery out of the phone for about 2 hours, when I put it back in i could use it for like 10 minutes.
But when i keep the battery out for 10 minutes it freezes within 1 minute.
Maybe this will help me get the solution to this problem.
I would format the sd card just in case, also make sure you have the correct versions of what you need, rom raido ect, because theres two types of HD2s, hope this helps!!
Thanks for the reply, i tried formatting the SD card and i succeeded doing it 5 times i think. I think i have the correct version of rom and radio, how do i know?

You should remove hspl , and after that install the latest rom available on htc site for your device (download the rom from htc site, with your serial number ) . Official roms have included radio inside of them. If HSPL is removed and you have again problems with your device with an official rom installed, then you have a hardware problem. You could try to boot up without sd card installed, to see if the card is the problem.
Thank you,
I will try removing HSPL and install the original ROM from the HTC site. I'll let you guys know.

I see that you are on t-mobile network , so you should download your rom from here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ . Just enter your imei and download the update. Remove HSPL and then install the official rom. Perform a hard reset after that , and see if is all ok . Keep us informed pls.
Hi, yes i have a T-mobile contract, but my phone is Vodafone branden so i'll have to download the Vodafone version I think.
But what i just did is this:
I had HSPL 2.08.HSPL and a Custom ROM on it. So I was planning on maybe sending it back. Thats why I performed a task 29 to delete all the previous (parts of the) Roms. After that i changed my HSPL to 1.66.000, the original spl I had on it.
But now the phone does vibrate when i hold the power butten (with vol down), but there is no picture, so i cant get into the phone or the Red green blue screen. So i think the phone will not boot because I deleted the Rom on the phone and also returned the spl to original.
Is there a solution for this problem? omg this phone just doesn't seem to be working for me (maybe it's me that is not working for the phone).
It is normal since you did a task29. Verify if you did it correctly here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
Yes i have read that thread thank you, but the question is:
How can i get the phone to connect with my PC, so I can install original ROM. Because the Boatloader screen won't start up, to make connection with my Computer. I press the power button and vol down butten at the same time. Tried it at least 20 times
Thanks you all. But i sent this phone back to HTC. The board was replaced and they sent it back, so it works again! finally my phone back
Hey, i tried to install android on my HD2 several times and failed, but then i noticed i had wrong version of hspl so i couldn't start MAGLRD (i had 3.03 i think i should've had 2.08 right?) Anyway i then tried to remove the HSPL by formatting my sd card and putting the file from original rom (i don't remember the name) and renaming it to LEOIMG, it started installing the rom i went to another room, when i came back it had finished and was on the red/blue/green screen and it said update failed and i had to retry, but now none of the exes work like rom updates or task29 nothing. when i turn on the phone it says "Not allow" and then goes to the red/blue/green screen. Please help me, I'm freaking out is there any way to fix it? Is there even a way to access SD card when the phone does this?
TomaToz, use the computer to flash via USB cable.
I can't, none of the rom updates or ANYTHING works since this, they all give errors
go to the magLDR page and look for how to remove it.
then start from scratch
There's no info how to remove it but even if there was how would i? None of the exes work and i can't turn the phone on, also i dont think MAGLRD got installed cause i had HSPL 3.03 instead of 2.08
Come on isn't htere anyone who ca help me? :|
are you sure you haven't bricked your phone?
because it just seems you did :/
I don't think you read the bold "You need HardSPL 2.08 before installation!" just above the history?
anyway, can you not flash a radio via USB as well?
also, if you post the error messages you get maybe we can help you more.
you can also check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10275463
What does bricked mean? :9
and no i can not flash radio or anything else, i'll edit this message with a picture of what the error message looks like
EDIT: WOW, i tried to run the hspl installation and installed hspl 2.08 successfully, not i turned my phone on and its the screen where you choose to start the update for rom. This is the update after which my hd2 said "Update failed" so I'm scared to take any steps, please respond and tell me what to do

HI to all!my phone was working great until i decided to try a new rom so I installed task29 (i had elegancia rom but i wanted to try another rom)and now im stuck on the htc logo screen that says 'stick together' in a red square.....i tried vol down+power button to go into bootloader but nothing happens, then i tried to hard reset but still nothing happens...i pushed the reset button and i did it all over again at least 3 times but still nothing... is there anything else i can try? (even on the hardware?)
my HD2 is a T-MOBILE usa with :
radio 2.08.50.08_2
2.08.HSPL
3.14.531.1 elegancia rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729)
i love my hd2 and i want it back...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
THANK YOU in advance!!!
sofialoca, task29 is not a thing to be "installed". It's a flash formatting. So you did everything correctly and deleted all from your phone except.. hmmm... stick together.
To flash other rom - just press Volume Down and push reset (under the battery cover) KEEPING VOLUME DOWN PRESSED. Keep it pressed until you are again in bootloader mode. Then connect USB and flash whatever you want.
thank you Andrew!I found the problem...

glad it worked out in the end
OK title says it all, and yes I have been reading for the last 3hrs, all the possible solutions.
HD2 EU Vodafone UK
So here is what I have tried:-
Task 29 + flash stock rom - stuck -
Hard reset - stuck
remove HSPL - stuck
flash latest Vodafone rom from HTC 3.14.161.3 - stuck - also SPL now 3.03
flash old stock to downgrade SPL to 1.66 - stuck
Have also tried reinstalling MAGLDR - stuck - magldr doesn't even show.
I never get flash failed, and yet it will not get past the Tri coloured bootloader.
Also I cannot get it to flash from SD. I have tried holding the endcall and vol down but it just goes to the loader.
Vol Up and endcall goes to hard reset.
And, to make it worse, it's not even mine. I was returning it to Winmo for a mate.
Phones been running Android nand since March without problems.
All suggestions welcome.

that would indicate a stuck volume down button, since hard reset is volup and voldown. (You dont need to hold power, tap and release it, its teh vol buttons you hold)
You are quite right about the vol up and down for reset.
Also, I had been considering the possibility of a stuck button.
I will see if i can prove or disprove it.
Thanks for the response.
Does anybody know how many buttons are in the volume control rocker?
Is it:-
1 for down volume
1 for up volume
and another for both when you hold both in?
I am still trying to decide if the down volume button is stuck on.
When I hold both down I can get into reset mode, but if I only press the up it still goes to tri colour.
So I am still not sure if the down is stuck on.
3 buttons in the rocker could explain why up only doesn't go to reset but 2 buttons only would confirm that the down is not stuck on.
All comments welcome
two, you can feel them click on individually when you press them.
I too can only feel 2 and that would imply that the down is not stuck.
When I hold the up button and switch on it goes to boot loader, if it was stuck shouldn't the phone have gone to reset?
I was hoping it was like a mouse wheel with forwards, backwards and click down which is 3 positions.
I'm running out of things to try.
If it's not stuck why does it keep going to bootloader with out being asked?
Why can I flash roms and HSPL without any failure messages but still find no change on reboot?
Thanks for the replies and please keep them comming
I have managed to flash from SD. I tried a different card.
I have attached a pic of the screen saying update complete, update success.
But still stuck in bootloader
well, if it isnt hardware, it must be a corrupted bootloader issue, or bad nand blocks perhaps. ive seen quite a few 'only enters bootoader' threads over the yrs, but never really noticed a solution.
sorry, no suggestions, other than perhaps give teh freezer trick a go?
I'm desperate enough to try almost anything.
I will have to read up on the freezer trick.( don't want to kill it completely)
I have also contacted a couple of repairers for a quote using Jtag. the first said "sorry bricked" and I'm still waiting for the second reply.
Also reading up on Goldcards, maybe that's another option?
Thanks again for the reply.

lol, probably scared of doing it (it requires dismantling teh phone, and theyre notoriously easy to break, there are loads of threads here where someone took theirs in for a fix and the vol/bottom button/screen ribon cables got broke by the shop.

could be tho unlikely (sorry) goldcard flashing is just sd flashing but bypasses carrier and region checks.
if you can get the serial of your sd card, i can make you a goldcard image, no problem. (Don't bother using the free goldcard page on revskills website, its for android and wp7 phones) . PM me the serial and an email address if you want one.
@samsamuel Thanks for all your help and advice.
I have sent it off for repair today.
As I said in the first post, it's not even mine I was re flashing winmo 6.5 so my mate could sell it.
Hopefully it will be all sorted now.
Update.
I contacted 3 repairers.
1st said "sorry dead"
2nd said "£40 + postage"
3rd said "£21 which became £29 all in"
So I sent it to 3rd one, got a quick reply "sorry unable to fix, here is a full refund" and they returned it via 1st class post.
So yesterday I've got the phone in my hands, poped in the battery and I am presented on screen with a triangle and the words "flash failed please try again"
So task 29, now back with a tricoloured screen. See attached.
Now tried a custom Winmo, and it works
So I tried 2 Vodafone and 1 O2 stock roms and they all failed at 9%.
Tried another custom Winmo, and again working
So finally, I have task 29, CLK, clockwork v5 and latest MIUI. All working just fine.
Is there a stock looking custom winmo that anybody can recommend?
Hah, a lucky outcome. The radio is stuck, hence stock roms failing, but lucky for you its still a working radio, so customs are working. About the best result you could get, considering.
I'd say try the Artemis rom, but that will require spl 3.03.hspl, and occasionally the stuck radio issue messes with changing spl,,
Not so sure about your stuck radio theory, I have been able to change the radio without an issue.
I will give Artemis rom a go.
thanks for all the support.
Merry Christmas
