HD2 Flashing to Stock Rom/SPL - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, All
I have been having problem flashing my HTC Touch HD2 back to stock.
I have followed the instructions on Bepe's Thread but I am still having problem.
This is what I have done:-
1) Formatted my MicroSD with FAT32
2) Copied the NBH from stock rom, renamed to LEOIMG.NBH & copied to route of memory card.
3) Inserted memory card into phone, held down Volume down button for 3 Seconds & pressed power button.
I get the multi coloured screen but no instruction to flash rom. It just stays on that screen & nothing happens.
I have tried different roms & different memory cards just to test it, but still no luck.
My HD2 is running HSPL & Topix Custom rom.
I would appreciate the help as I am selling my HD2 with Warranty & don't want void Warranty.
Please Help
Thanks

Hi,
Do you think I should try HARDSPL ing the phone again
Thanks

does it come up as HSPL on bootloader screen?
Tbh you might as well re-install HSPL as administrator.
Then re-download and checksum the leoimg.nbh.
Also check if the device sees the SD card and can read it in normal use in the ROM.
If in doubt, you can always install the stock ROM via the RUU app which HTC provide. that should overwrite HSPL.

did you flash it via sdcard then? if you did it should have overwritten..
if you are still struggling to get the file recognised flashing via the sdcard, then try another sdcard, such as the original 2gb one it came with..

Try plugging the device in to the mains. Sometimes does weird things for me... If it is, then unplug it and try again.
It also may work better with FAT (FAT16) rather than FAT32, but I have flashed ROMs from FAT32.

i sucessfully put my o2 ROM back on, ! i checked the SPL and even that went back to stock. flashed as you did, from the storage card! mmm!

I had the same thing. I eventually succeed after formatting my microSD INSIDE the device. Before I formated it in my notebook.
Try this way.

What was your problem & what exactly did you do.
I have tried what you said but still can't get it to work.
Thanks

Hi,
Could you tell what you exactly done & what rom you used. I really need to get this done for tomorrow as I have to send the phone off as I have sold it.
Please please explain in detail as I will do exactly what you done.
This has been lingering for a few days now & I have contacted numerous people without success.
Appreciate your help

1 are you sure you are using the correct rom.you haven't said whether your phone is htc unlocked or provider rom locked.
2 you never answered the question as to how you were flashing, because you said that you flashed the wwe but hspl was still there, which can only mean you used usb, plus if your phone is provider locked then you need a different rom.
confirm you have the correct rom , format your sd card through the phone, copy over the ruu signed.nbh rename leoimg.nbh
reboot your phone holding down volume.
anything?

Hi
Does this procedure of getting back the spl makes HARD RESET ?
Thanks

The phone is unlocked & Simfree. When I flashed it with the WWE rom via USB.
Also I renamed the stock rom to leoimg.NBH & copied to root of memory card. I held down the Volume down button for three seconds & then pressed & held the power button. When I had it formatted as FAT32 nothing would happen, but when I flashed it with FAT16 I got a White loading screen & nothing happened after that.
I can get into the Hard Reset Screen.
What am I suppose to see on the screen.
Thanks

OK, just to confirm, you downloaded the wwe .exe file, you opened the exe with a zip program, extracted RUU_Signed.nhb, moved ruu-Signed.nbh to your sd card, which you had formatted IN THE PHONE and then you renamed ruu_sugned.nbh to leoimg.nbh
Then, phone off, , , press and hold vol down, tap power but contiune to hold vol down.
phone SHOULD boot into bootloader, and it should automatically discover there is a leoimg.nbh file on your sd card.
If it is the wrong image, you should get a failed instal, but if you phone does nothing at all then either the sd card is faulty, or teh sd card reader, or the nbh file.
just a thought, when you are renaming the ruu_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh, you do have file extensions shown? becaue if you don't, then you could be renaming the nbh file to leoimg.nbh.nbh , , , you wouldn't be the first.

Mate, hold volume down and power buttons a bit longer
It will go from that tri-color screen to a procedure of installing
