Troubleshooting Flashing - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Hello!
Try this:
Full charge your phone's battery.
Download your stock ROM and install it by MicroSD method - it will erease your HSPL, so you will need to install it again.
Install the HSPL again.
Do a TASK29.
Now redownload your custom ROM and reflash it!

unfortunately when i go to download the stock ROM i downloaded from the HTC website it stays at 0% and then gives me an error message,tried numerous times but no luck, i was able to download HSPL3 though but that hasn't actually made any difference with regard to actually solving my problem,i done another search and tried numerous things but no luck, just have the multicoloured screen as before, have spent hours now, surely there has to be an easier solution to this as no doubt this has happened to a few people before!

flashed htc stock by sd card? if yes, then its because the stock HTC rom isnt your phones stock, and teh first thing it does when flashing from sd is remove hspl, even though the rom itself fails to flash (because hspl is no longer there)
Boot into bootloader, see what spl says.
If it ends .0000 then use hspl2 to re apply hspl,
re-enter bootloader, connect usb, does 'serial' change to 'USB'?
If yes, try running your rom flash again, but do it over usb. (Can use the htc stock rom for this, for simplicity)

what do you mean by this mate?
Yeah the spl says spl-2.08.0000 8G XE
when i go to hspl2 to re apply hspl it gives me an error message saying i need to have SPL 142 on my device, this is doing my bleedin head in and ill never mess about with the dog and bone again if i manage to get this sorted after all this it costs too much and im without a phone now until this is sorted, cheers for your assistance mate

Mate, try HSPL3. It will work with your SPL (2.08.0000).
It smells like you have a bad flash, maybe your ROM image corrupt in download or in the transfer process.. It does not change the things, to fix it you have to "erease your NAND".
I told you to flash a stock Rom from SD to see if the error stops. If it stops, then you will have to install HSPL again, because it is ereased each time you flash a stock ROM from SDCard.
Then, the TASK29 process is the more important thing, because it will "erease" your NAND and will prepare the NAND blocks for the new flash.
And the CustomROM flash complete the process.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: Fell free only to install HSPL3 (2nd post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and do a TASK29 (this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781) before installing again your CustomROM. Those 3 steps are the important ones!
**DO NOT FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOMROM AGAIN, BECAUSE IT COULD BE A DOWNLOAD CORRUPTION PROBLEM, OK?

right there has been some developments, HSPL3 has done something an the phoe is now turning on and off, so ill try and download the stock ROM now
if spl says 2.08.0000 then you have chosen teh wrong option in hspl3, you should have chosen 2.08.hspl.
.0000 is stock.
You do not need spl 1.42. to apply hspl, that is old info, hspl2 or hspl3 should work fine.

Man, if your phone is turning on and off it could be the uncharged battery.
Try charging your battery for about 1 hour before trying to reflash - do it with the phone turned off.
Again: Use HSPL2 or 3. Select 2.08.HSPL from the menu. And then TASK29..............
Thanks again guys its getting late so ill just leave the phone charging and get back to it after work tomorrow evening, again thanks for your assistance, still not there yet but hopefully by tomorrow evening the problem will be rectified.

At last i have managed to solve the problem, basically i just extracted a stock ROM onto my micro SD card which was in my laptop,put SD card back in phone,went to bootloader, done the task 29, tried to flash Energy ROM 21911 Aug 1st update but having tried several times it was giving me an error message so last throw of the dice as it were i flashed the other Energy build 23569 and it worked, you;ve no idea how relieved i am i kept thining id have to leave the phone into repair which would cost an arm and a leg but thanks to the good people on here in particular digao100nocao and samsamuel and the search function was useful too i have solved the problem and ill ensure i always do a hard reset any time im flashing again as i believe that was what probably caused the ROM not to flash properly the first time (i never bothered doing a hard reset previously)
Virtual beers to everyone much obliged folks and if i can be of asisstance to anyone myself on here i will.

Restore stock Rom question

Hey guys, I figure I had better ask this time before I brick my phone because I believe I almost did. I was going to flash Elegancia v5 Final to my phone and I must have misread something and I flashed HSPL 2.08. After I flashed the HSPL I tried flashing the Rom and it got to 1% then stayed there and then errored. I restarted my phone like it said to do and I got the "Rom Update Failed" or whatever it was and with a bootloader screen (reset and volume down) I can get to it but it doesn't recognize the USB, only shows serial. Now from what I've read I believe I can download a stock rom and put it on the SD Card and flash by resetting into the bootloader and that should fix my problem, correct? I'm just unsure on which rom to flash, I don't want to do the wrong one and brick it. Found a bunch on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653) and I'm downloading 2.13.531.1 right now because I saw a video linking to that page saying you needed HSPL 2.08 to flash it, will that flash work with my problem? Or is there another one I should choose.
Found out I wasn't actually doing a hard reset (up AND down volume while turning on or using the reset button) after doing this it would recognize USB (I also removed the Sim & SD because it wouldn't flash from SD), got it to flash using Elegancia v5 Final afterwards. That...was absolutely terrifying haha, maybe I should leave the phone alone fora bit while I'm ahead. Only had it for 4 days and I'm getting way too carried away with testing things on it.
With that said...Core Android here we go.

[q] help please ??!!!! :(

Hi, im getting very annoyed with my phone, probably something to do with i don't know what the hell im doing. Basically my phone has lately started to go crazy and constantly reboots, only getting to the orange windows screen. and very rarely boots up. I have the o2 HD2. Ive tried hard reseting..and taking out cards and booting but nothing seems to help. So i spotted the new generic 3.14 rom on the official htc website and downloaded it and thought it would fix it all. But now it wont work, it gets to %100 on the ROM update utility and says '' ERROR 270:UPDATE ERROR - The image file is corrupted, Please check your update utility. Ive downloaded it twice now as it told me as it was corrupt, to download and try again, but its doing the same. Now my hd2 is stuck on the multi colored screen and will NOT boot. Someone please help me, and try to have patience with me as im un-familiar with all this . Someone taking the time to help me would be VERY appreciated. Thanks.
theres a real o2 3.14 rom HERE

or you need hspl
Hey Brandon911 after you manage to flash the ROM member samsamuel was kind enough to link for you. If you don't know how to flash the ROM simple put your HD2 in bootloader(tricolor screen) and run the RUU or exe wich ever one it has once you exsrtact/unzip the zipfile. Make sure it says USB in the white bar of bootloader though before you run the updat utility.Anyway once you flash the ROM check your pins that connect to the battery cause I am willing to bet you have been dueing a lot of battery pulls and might have inadvertantly bent one of your pins. I say this cause you said your HD2 was "constantly rebooting".
i cant flash that rom at all? i try to extract it to my pc and it says its currupt :s ive downloaded it twice now. should i use a different rom? a custom one? And thankyou macgnolia

I don't see no real reason you should not try a custom ROM. Just make sure and tbis is very important, if the custom ROM has a radio that comes with it, that the radio is compatible with your o2 HD2. I am also sure when samsamuel gets to read this thread again he will be abale to offer more help, probably better than I.
Edit: You will have to have HSPL flashed to your HD2 to flash a custom ROM.
im sticking with the generic 3.14 from the htc website. my phone is on SPL 3.03? and to run hspl u can only go up to 2. something so it wont run? sorry guys, your patience is much appreicated. i just need some step by steps on what i should do, in order, for a noob.
hspl4, supports 3.03. If you want to use magldr you will need to go to 2.08.hspl

[Q] Plain White Screen

Hey guys, I had this problem like three weeks ago, then got my phone working but this time it won't. What's happening is that when I boot on it just goes to a blank white screen. I have 2.08.HSPL etc. It usually works after a few battery pulls/soft resets but this time it isn't. I've tried running Task 29's, but they're stuck at 0%.
Everything I try do gets stuck at 0%. Well I've tried running a Stock RUU (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.0 7U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe) and that got stuck at 0% too. I tried downloading my stock ROM off the HTC site but it says "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Why isn't it? My phones not a TMO HD2? It's a EU Leo bought from o2 Ireland. Can anybody link me to possibly the UK o2 stock ROM?
I downloaded a stock ROM from here but all that comes with the English WWE version is a .exe and not a .nbh.
I also flashed Artemis' custom ROM from SD card and that flashed etc. but when I tried to boot I get the white screen.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Sorry to hear your HD2 is not working right now Skellyyy. I am with T-Mobile so I am not familiar with O2 but do they not have an official ROM on their website? Do you have to download your official ROM from HTC? I tried to pull up the o2 website but for some reason it would not let me pull it up. I went to www.o2.co.uk/ and I got this error message.

The exe is how you run the update utility for that ROM too by the way. Well atleast it is if you are using a computer to flash it. You have to right click on it and click explore to find tbe RUU file.
Also seeing as you have the EU HD2 why not just download the official update from the T-Mobile website and try it?
Yeah no I don't think they do. I looked on there and they hadn't got it. I think TMO have it on there website is because there's is a different phone then to the EU one.
Wouldn't downloading that ROM sort of brick my phone? Or would it not as the EU is compatible with all radio's?
I know the way you run the .exe then the RUU pops up, but HSPL won't flash anything. I've already tried. I know flashing from the SD works as I've flashed an Artemis ROM from it... but still had the screen.

Good point I have not thought about that. The hole thing about the TMOUS HD2 not being able to flash non TMOUS Radios probably does have something to do with it being there on thier website. This is an effort to keep people from getting confused and downloading the wrong ROM and bricking their phone.

No I don't think just downloading the ROM will brick your HD2, you have to flash it for it to even have a chance to brick it ha ha ha ha..........Just kidding I know what you meant, and no I do not think it will brick your pbone cause you have the EU HD2. You might get some preinstalled T-Mobile apps that you can not use but I think this would be the only side effect. But then again I was thinking you could flash it and then try to reflash your regular ROM as I know that the T-Mobile ROM should fix any issue you are haveing with SPL or the ROM. So maybe then you can get HSPL to flash sucessfully.

I also know if you flash the T-Mobile ROM via SD card it overwrites all, but I think this is the case with any SD card flash of any official ROM. The Artemis ROM is a custom ROM so if you are haveings SPL incompatibility issues it would not fix this as it would take an official ROM flashed via SD to fix that.

stuck at 0% usually means hspl is no longer there.
what does it say by 'spl' in bootloader?
If you have tried to flash a stock rom from sd card at all, , hspl will have gone EVEN IF THE FLASH DIDNT APPEAR TO HAPPEN, hspl will still have gone.
Your phone, if from o2, will always only ever take o2 stock roms, unless hspl is there. HTC website will only let you download o2 roms with that serial.
The .exe file the rom comes as is really a zip file, , right click and 'unzip here or extract here', or rename the file from .exe to .zip, , the file ruu_signed.nbh is inside there.
Artemis probably failed because of your radio and/or spl. tell us what it says in spl, and what rom you want to aim for, and we can take it from there.

Yeah no, that happened me before and I was only had 2.08.0000 but I'm sure I have 2.08.HSPL now. As I've said, it's happened before, in which all I did was do a soft reset and that worked. Doesn't seem to work now though.
I'm pretty sure MAGLDR is wiped now anyway, as when I plug a USB in while off it doesn't boot up, but just goes to a red LED. Is this normal yeah?
Just tried flashing the ROM I mentioned... the little progress bar showed... then the phone rebooted. Now it's back to SPL.
I don't there's anything I can do now is there? :/
ok, hang on, do you have a tmous, or a regular hd2 from t mobile?
I have a EU Leo. I don't know where it's from as I bought it second hand. The guy said it was bought on o2 Ireland.
Hey SKellyyy not saying I don't beleive you but just do this to confirm you have a DU HD2. I know for positive I have a T-Mobile HD2 as I bought mine brand new from a T-Mobile store. On your HD2 touch Start/Settings/scroll down to About Phone/Hardware Information. This is what mine says.

Compare yours and let us know.
if the send key is white its regular, green its tmous. yours will be regular, from o2.which is why none of those roms you tried worked. only ONLY o2 roms will work unless hspl is there, anmd as soon as you flash any stock rom using sd card, it will remove hspl and then teh flash will fail, but hspl is already gone.
so, to get..
a winmo rom
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl (3.03.hspl if you want a 3.14 rom) - bootloader - radio (if needed to update, see the rom thread) - bootloader - flash rom
to prep for nand android
bootloader - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl - bootloader - radio - bootloader - magldr - magldr usb flasher - flash CWM
bootloader -
Lol dude I'm pretty positive as it only has 512MB ROM and it has no T-mo on top and the buttons are white.
I've already tried to flash HSPL again but that was using the second version of the software (can't remember the name) and it failed. It recognized the phone and let me choose 2.08.HSPL but the progress bar just went and went (for over an hour).
Where will I get a stock o2 ROM as the HTC website says "this software isn't available for your device"?

thats more likely the comp, not the phone. all usual things, reinstall activesync/wmdc, dont use 64bit os if you can help it, firewalls off, etc etc etc. easiest first test is use a different pc.
It was fine flashing CWM on Friday. Currently can't use a different PC, will get one later and try again.
Thinking if I get this fixed, I'm selling it. Too much sh*t happens with it. It's maybe just my phone but this usually happens everyday and a few battery pulls/soft resets fixes it. That by itself is annoying, but this is even more annoying.
hspl is different than flashing roms / cwm.
flashing and sync will work through any old usb port, rarely need to turn off firewalls, whereas hspl is realllly choosy. gotta be a usb socket directly on the motherboard, hates 64bit win, times out before the phone has rebooted if you start it from winmo running, isnt all that happy if you have changed teh usb drivers for that particular port, say for mtty, or android, (each usb port has its own drivers associated with it, thats why swapping usb ports if it fails is always the first step, try them all)
I've tried three different PC's. Two desktops and one laptop, all plugged in to motherboard USB'a but none of them are installing HSPL. They're all just going up and down on the progress bar. Should I try HSPL4? I'm using the HSPL3 program.
No computers are running 64bit btw.
Is there anywhere I can just get the o2 ROM and try flash it?
Yea go to HTC website, support, pick phone, downloads, change dropdown to rom upgrades, operator name is in the title. You can also find them in the official roms thread in rom development section, and elsewhere in various threads.
Keep gour head up!

Sorry you are having so much trouble out of your HD2. The HD2 is a great device but they are quirky as hell. I sure you will get it fixed, keep your head up man. Oh and don't give up on the HD2 just yet cause just like King Authur's Excalibure, The HD2 is a thing of legend.

Yeah, I'm currently looking to get a new HD2. Decided.
It's just the bootloader doing my head in, found the official ROM I need, but it'll only flash from PC and it's stuck at 0%. I need it as a .nbh so I can install from SD card. Do you know how I can do that if the RUU I downloaded is a .exe?
If you got RUU in .exe file install WinRar right click on the RUU file and choose "open with WinRar" then extract the .nbh file

Dead Titan?

When flash was full, HTC titan began freezing at random places, I deleted some pictures/videos/apps, looks okay until during charging it suddenly reboots and now it is stuck at bootloader HTC screen, I did hard reset, same thing, factory reset, one of 3 tries of factory reset, I can get to windows however only basic phone call works, everything else crashes. The other 2 out of 3 hard reset attempts, either stuck at installing apps (during the initial setup phase), or stuck at HTC logo.
Finally out of options, I tried to use RUU (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) with the downloaded original US Cingular ROM (Original named IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh renamed to ETERIMG.nbh in order to flash), and got same crash/freeze as above. By the way I did verify the SPL bootloader matched the ROM.
Contacted HTC support, they say I have to send it for repair if I want to go that route, anyone know how much they charge? Mine is out of warranty. Only 1.5 years!
Right now it is stuck at installing apps again, and it seems getting harder and harder to get past that stage in order to have basic phone call functionality.

Hi, thanks for reply. Results are the same as before except it gives warning SIM ERROR when there's no sim card.

Stop please! You need to tell us what exactly do you mean when your flash is full...your internal memory? It appears by your 2nd paragraph you're attempting to HSPL your device. If you're stuck at the HTC Logo it normally means you're using the wrong radio firmware for the rom; my device for example is HSPL...I will never forget the effort I put into that feat, but the radio had to be changed to version 17 not 16 though you will find roms that will operate on 16, so let's start with what exactly are you trying to do...thanks!

The Titan was untouched, unmodded, fully functional. Then over time ts internal flash drive (16GB) became totally full.
Deleted some pictures/videos from within Zune software, uninstalled some apps and I get back 1GB or 2GB.
Recharged again then during this recharging period, it rebooted, ever since then, it became the state as I described in original post.
Sometimes stuck at HTC logo, sometimes after another factory reset (accessed from vol up + vol down + power HSPL menu),
The radio was 16, and the RUU program indicated it installed the 389(?)MB rom successfully, I made sure I downloaded the original cingular rom that had same radio 16 number.
Just trying to get Titan alive again, not even attempting custom firmware. From what I read on the forum, I will need USB-Y cable + goldcard
to install custom stuff. However I believe the RUU program I used allows flashing of stock ROM.

I was going to recommend Goldcard and it works perfect! You're stock so you need a stock ROM. Double check your model #, mine for example are PI39100s. I HSPL'd my Titans via Goldcard. You might want to attempt the HSPL process if you're nuts enough to try it. But be aware you will need the correct debranding ROM to do so. But for your purposes, you need "stock". I was really surprised how easy the Goldcard method is...it picks it up right out the blocks and you follow the prompts.

The RUU.exe works with stock firmware reflashing already, so when I tried it it was stuck at 4% complete for a minute, then 67% for 30 sec, then 87% for 30 sec, then finally complete 100% successfully, then after reboot, it enters the setup stage and stuck at installing apps again even after 10 minutes. There's something wrong with the phone, so weird, maybe a hammer will do the trick.
this is where i got stock rom (googled htc rom)
http://www.persianhtc.net/index.php?dir=Titan(Eternity)(Bunyip)(Ultimate)/rom/original/nbh/
Maybe I will try another stock rom, IMG_Eternity_Cingular_2.01.502.04_Radio_16.23.03.17_16.27.00.23U_OS_7.10.7740.166.nbh and see what happens.

Bear with me for a moment...I own a HD2 which is a joy to flash Android and Windows Phone or the both of them, WP on NAND and Android on SD. I've had devices dating back to Windows Mobile 6.1 and flashing my Titans is identical to flashing all the rest of them once you're developer/interop unlocked to do so. As the HD2s age, their internal ROM become corrupted so the gurus here came up with NativeSD, now I realize were talking about two different animals here but when you flash a Windows Mobile/Phone operating system you reformat and erase whatever it is to be installed on; it doesn't matter if its micro sd memory cards or internal rom. I don't know if there is an equivalent Task 29 (wipes the memory) for the Titan's internal rom or is it even necessary; it's standard procedure on the HD2 via the HD2 Toolkit. I want you to do me a favor and send me what is on your bootloader screen, specifically the SPL, I'm thinking it's 2.05 but there are some others running around too. It is clear you can flash, but when I'm hung on the HTC logo it's the radio that is wrong, so please double check that the radio is correct. I'm not aware there are any radio 17s out there on stock but I am by no means an expert at all of this. Know this, there is the real possibility that you have a corrupted internal memory and where it is corrupted or fragmented is a big deal. I'm asking myself can the memory be erased before flashing and I don't have that answer. The roms you're using suggest you're not using a Windows Phone 7.8 stock Rom, but neither do I know if there is a stock flashable 7.8 Rom; I have the debrand 7.0s but none of the Mango 7.5s; I only have the flashable custom 7.8s but will look later this evening for one. I realize I may have asked you this before but please let me know what your model number, SPL, radio, and verify one more time if upon completion of the rom install does the phone reboot automatically after initial setup...the language, time, date, you hit next and start installing apps...is it the first install apps or afterwards where you hit next before you get to the start menu for the very first time. If at all possible do you remember inside your settings, under "about" how much memory you had, and how much was available. Thanks!

That means it upgraded successfully to a more updated Cingular stock rom, if I can use RUU to flash stock rom again
and again, it means writing internal flash is okay(?), but reading internal flash becomes problematic. I noticed
recently I can't even get to setup screen.

I did double/triple check radio is 16 for my very original stock rom and the roms I downloaded all have radio 16 as part of filename.
Model: PI39100
SPL: Original: 1.10, now is 2.1
Right now can't even get to setup screen now, it used to be 1 out 3 hard resets I can reach that stage, now it always reboots
after it failed to get past Windows logo stage (which happens about 8~20sec after HTC logo and AT&T logo stage)

My apologies that I haven't replied sooner; I'm a full time college student thus I'm a bit busy. If your SPL is 2.1 then you have not successfully installed the Cingular 1.10 ROM otherwise your SPL would read 1.10 which this ROM and the European 1.09 ROM are used to downgrade the SPL on the Titan for HSPL and custom ROM flashing...which you've made me aware that is not what you're attempting to do but it is one of the steps towards doing just that. I'm going to attach my notes on my HSPL of my device which is extensive. There might be something in it that might help you. But for example my bootloader reads: PI39100...HSPL2.5.160015.3(137079)...eMMC SND 15188MB...CotullaH(F:81, ID:1,V11, B:f8)...double space...Radio-17.5006.08.27. I realize you're not trying to HSPL but if you are able to get your SPL to read 1.10, I think you should try it, the worse that can happen to you is the SPL will read SPL2.5.160015.3 not HSPL2.5.160015.3. I still recommend the Goldcard Method. My notes will be attached as a Word file.

Mine was SPL 1.1 before any flashing, now it is 2.1 because I flashed a SPL 2.1 Stock ROM.
Let me try to flash it back to SPL 1.1 again. I am not planning to use custom ROM so I don't think I need a gold card for now.
Used same RUU to flash back to HSPL 1.0 from 2.1, anyway it still looks dead to me. It's a loss.
Anyway thanks everyone for the help.
The weird thing is I can flash back and forth between 1.0 and 2.1, meaning internal flash drive has no issue during writing.
