[Q] ROM Upgrade Issues - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, im having major issues with my HTC HD2.
I have upgraded my rom previously and it worked fine. i just did the telstra one off the htc website.
STATS:
os version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
manila version: 2.5.20121431.1
ROM version: 1.72.841.0 (82124) WWE
ROM DATE: 02/23/10
Radio version: 2.07.51.22_2
protocol version: 15.32.50.07U
I am now tryign to upgrade once more because im having software issues with my current set-up, hoping a rom upgrade will solve it. but, i cant upgrade my rom! i am using CustomRUU.exe as the host program for running the .nbh files. i have tried artemis's latest rom, radio uprgrades, andriod ports, maxsense cooked roms, everything! and i cant get it to get past this screen.
so the issue. i hook up my HTC HD2 to my computer connect via activesync, i then drag the chosen .nbh file on to CustomRUU.exe and run the file and the rom upgrade, im doing everything they say and my htc is hooked to the computer with the arrow things confirming. i do the acceptance steps, and it gets to the progress bar and sits a 0% (on my laptop) while my HD2 works through it.
it goes to the red green blue screen, says USB down the bottom, goes black and displays a HTC loading screen with a progess bar at 0%
this is where the issue is.
it stays at 0% for about 5-10 minutes, on BOTH the hd2 and the laptop, than the computer gives me an error code [262] : UPDATE ERROR...(i am aware that this is a connection error and should resolve with restarting for the computer and the device and a new usb port used)... but this has not solved my problem. as soon as my HD2 restarts and goes to the red green blue screen i lose connection with the computer and it times out. My HD2 just loads the htc progress bar screen and does nothing
i dont even get 1%!!!!
i have tried installing HSPL but it says i need sspl 1.42.000 (i think), so when i try to install that via a rom or whateva it is, it gives me the no connection freezing issue.
im stuck in a violent circle and get get past this issue.
basically, the rom uprgrade wont work because my device is apparently disconnected form the computer and the install times out.
someone please help! PLEASE!
im sorry if this is a simply fix and im being a noob, but i just am stuck real bad!
thanks in advance guys

Changing to a customized ROM is very different from upgrading through HTC website , and it starts by installing HSPL on your phone..
you should start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
but its probably easier to resolve your current "SW issues" than installing a customized suitable ROM for you at this stage.. so why dont you post what the SW issue is instead.. (unless your phone does not boot at all now..)

just quickly, sw issues?

software issues = SW issues

Depending on what your Software problems are you could try to post them and try to solve it.
The fastest ways is to install the right HSPL you can use the link in the post of "ugguggh" which has a good manual about how all works. You also can read through the 1st two posts in de threat displayed below. Here you cna find which HSPL you need for your version.
CLICK HERE!
After installing the right HSPL its just a matter of choosing your desired ROM and install it.
I'm currently working with the Artimis V27 ROM NL and i'm not experiencing any problems it runs very smooth. Just format your SD card and try to download Task29. First run "Task29" before installing the ROM. It cleans up old stuff from your old ROM install. After Task29 finished press volume down before it reboots your phone so you enter the bootloader. Now you can start the CustomRuu application and install your desired rom. (if you enter a blanc HTC screen after Task29 (thats normal because there is no OS to load anymore) just remove the battery and hold volume down while putting the battery back or using the power on button)

dont do that, put customruu and the nbh in a folder on their own, then right click customruu and choose run as administrator (do this even if you are logged in as administrator)

use a usb port around back of the pc, not in the front case.
the 'you need 1.42.0000...' is wrong, its old info. Use hspl3 and choose 2.08.hspl

THANKYOU! but here are my sw issues
hey guys thankyou for all ur help, i downloaded hspl3 and it worked and i have tested a few different roms,, and i installed Miri_HD2_WM65_21908_Sense25_V17.0_WithSwype, which is working quite well right now and i am pretty damn happy with it so far.
i installed S2U2 and since then it started to play up a lil..
the issues are that in general the whole entire system is slow. not neccesarilly windows but sense... :\
messages are sometimes unusable, frozen very laggy, and occasionally needs a soft reset. phones is unusable, can make calls, just cant hear dialtone, microphone sender and recevier isnt working, NO SOUND! shortcut calender viewer on the sense homescreen takes mins to hours to load appointments and sometimes doesnt for days. and in saying sometimes is lightning quick...???
besides that i am not experiencing many other issues YET...i will have to wait a few more days. though i would really like a solution to the phone issue if that is possible
would love to beable to use a android port (a very good, everyday use version), and if anyone has any info on it, would u beable to post some for me please
i have tried haret and it wont work. i load clrcad then haret it runs through the first stuff, then the screen starts to fad and i get lines on the left then it slowly goes black and nothing happens. requires a soft reset to get the phone working again..
I AM JUST FULL OF ISSUES! sorry guys
anyways thankyou EVERYONE for all your help u have been great so far
thanx

Stuck after SoftSPL procedure

Hello there.
I´m really new but certanly i have read a lot on the forums. Still I have managed to mess everything once more.
I have a wizard love G4
ROM Version 2.26.10.2.wwe
Rom date 06/07/06
Radio 02.25.11
Protocol 4.1.13.12
ExtROM 2.26.10.105
Messed around with the splash screen from equinoxe and to make it work i needed to update the RUU from 2.00.1 that was on the installation files to RUU 2.5.2 that was extracted from an HTC.exe rom update download.
Finally it worked just fine.
Then, i decided to give it a go on the SoftSPL procedure in order to install the Black Diamond 2.0 touch rom on my phone so I placed the downloaded "Safe ROM" on the ROM folder. Started the application and everything was looking good. Then the RUU came up with the 2.00.1 version so I was a little worried, but then the so called white screen on the cell phone started but with a progress bar (how convenient)... I´m not sure if i was supposed to see the progress bar at all on the cell phone or just a full white screen.
Anyway, after 10 minutes give or take, the bar got to 100% and the pc software said Congratulations... but then the cell phone automatically restarted and inmediatelly it went to the bootloader three color screen.
I proceded with a hard reset before anything, right on the bootloader screen, (radio and voice buttons hold with reset button and then the send button accepting the restore to factory). Then the phone restarted but also in bootloader screen. So i decided to turn it off by holding the power button for a while. It did turn of, but this is where everything goes crazy... it does not turn on again... it even don´t show no led light when connecting the phone to the usb or the ac wall adapter...
This happened to me a few days ago using the shelltool with the same Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom but probably i made a different mistake back then.
Anyway I removed the battery and the sim card and reinserted everything again, even tryed it out without the battery and direct connection.
When this happened to me the first time, I just leaved the phone without the battery all night and on the next day it turned on but on the bootloader so I drove it to our local unlocker that managed to re-install the wizard-love once again.
I´m wondering if anyone is having this same issues, or something similar.
Probably i should have ask first if the Black Diamond 2.0 was a safe g4 rom, which i´m not sure but won´t dare to try it again.
I had the same problem.
i'm afraid using the SoftSPL now :S
Try the TNT 5. I used soft spl to install tnt 5 from the wizard love rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328917
They have a touch version u can think about.
Yes!!!! I love it now!
I downloaded the last SoftSPF. Now it runs a little slower on the first checking part but then it turned the screen all white!!!! Beautiful scary little issue that fortunatelly equinoxe stated on the flashing instructions.
Then I went for the TNT 5.0 Professional with HTC Home Plug-in on my CID LOCKED QTEK-9100 (But that it´s actually looking exactly like a 8125 Cingular), and it did it!.
One question tough... I´m running windows vista on my personal computer so I flashed the cell phone on another computer at my office that has windows xp, but still inside the TNT 5.0 Professional installation pack there is a RUU that states Windows Vista Update Utility. I´m wondering if this would actually run under vista... If so, then I believe that you can make SoftSPF also run under vista by just changing the 2.exe file on the SoftSPF compilation with this Vista_ROMUpdateUtility.exe file on the TNT 5.0 Professional compilation release.
Anyone care to try?
Probably I will be trying to flash a new radio with this RUU Vista utility under vista, to see if it flashes... If it does, then i don´t see why you can´t run try it out under vista.
I´m attaching only the RUU for vista so you can put inside any nk.nbf with it to use it under vista.

Your screen should turn white, completely white... Not white with a progress bar. That is the RUU that you were seeing. Haret.exe cause the screen to crash and then it turns completely white. THIS IS NORMAL.
Try using this version: SoftSPL - RC1. Before I got a G3 and CID unlocked it, this version of SoftSPL worked for me time and time again.
Thank Dan.
Actually the new SoftSPL worked like a charm. The screen went blank as a crash, and 10 minutes later i was on a TNT 5.0 Professional Qtek.

No problem... I know before I got my hands on a G3, thats exactly what I used to upgrade roms.

hi
Thanks guys, i am unable to move any files on my device because i can now only get the rainbow screen. My phone cannot be detected by active sync.
When i try to run an RUU it does a little more then it previously did in terms of shpwing me the percentage bar (installation process) but my rainbow screen turns off and then i get an error message.
Now the rainbow screen appears every few minutes on its own and goes off again.
Am i misunderstanding what your saying?

Run PVtemp to recover...................................
Thanks for your help. I will have a look tomorrow because even though i am reading your instructions i am still not understandingh it.
1. The first method isnt possible because i cannot see the device to move files into it
2. With the second method i cannot find the PVTemp you mention
I am not too good with this so it will take time for me to get what your saying.
Thanks again - i will charge my phone overnight to make sure my battery is ok

Thank you dioxda2 and duato for your help

Flashing Issues

I recently flashed to the new AT&T Test ROM 5.08. Basically I want to flash an energy rom over the AT&T and am having issues. Any rom I try to flash will go the gray loading screen on the phone and then hang up and gives the error 260 connection lost. I tried running the Raphael custom RUU before flashing the energy rom and I get an error 240 trying to run the custom ruu. I tried running the raphael unsigned hardspl and that only takes me to the black screen. From the black screen I've tried running the custom ruu and energy rom and nothing happens. Can anyone help me because I'm tired of this rom and I can't get anywhere!
Power off your device, hold the Volume Down button (keep hodling it), turn the device back on.
You should see the TriColor BootLoader screen; it should halt with USB or SERIAL displayed on the bottom white portion of the screen. Note the information that appears on the screen and post the details. To return to normal device operation, remove the battery for 30 seconds and put it back in.
That should assist us in determining the next steps.
HTH,
Screen appears:
RAPH110
SPL-5.08.0000
PSOC-Raph STAGE-CVT V0x36
PCBID 0x00
RID 0x0
Serial
It would appear that the HardSPL did not "take" or hasn't been applied yet. Here's the link to the HardSPL thread and Wiki page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_HardSPL
Once the HardSPL is applied, you should be able to flash custom ROM's to your device. If you need a "refresher" on flashing, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Lastly, although optional, you may want to consider performing a SIM unlock.
HTH,
It freezes the phone on the gray loading screen when trying to hardspl and then gives the 260 error code connection lost. I followed all the guides and nothing works (hence the point of starting the thread in the first place). I am a noob, but not a complete idiot that can't read guides. I understand if I can't hardspl, then I can't flash a rom. Well the hardspl does not work for me! I have tried the unsigned version which freezes the phone loses connection. I've tried the raphael wrapper which only takes me to the black screen and gives the error 240. From the black screen I cannot run spl or roms. I tried running stock spl's. I don't understand how the Test ROM flashed fine and now I can't flash anything.
The test rom worked fine because you don't need hard spl to flash it; it matched the carried id of your phone (CID). Hard spl CID-unlocks your phone, so you can flash non-ATT roms.
You should never try to flash a custom rom without hard spl. In the best case scenario, you'll be stonewalled. You need to use the wrapper that comes with the hard spl package to flash hard spl. Using any other wrapper is a waste of time. It says this clearly in the hard spl thread, where you should have posted your question. If you read the last 50 or so posts of that thread, you'll come across a post by Captain Throwback. He had some problems flashing H-spl, and he found some tricks to get it going. I suggest that you search the thread for his how-to. My guess is that you're forgetting something obvious, like turning off your anti-virus software or installing net framework 3.5 on your pc (if it isn't already there). You have to flash hard spl off of your pc, so don't even bother trying to flash it off your sd card. It's probably easier to do it off of XP than Vista.
I already tried the raphael wrapper as I stated twice. Raphael wrapper takes me to the black screen (where I read about the post by captain throwback). I followed everyones instructions that got it to work and still the same thing happens. The Wrapper only takes me to the black screen where I cannot do anything because the computer isn't synced with my Fuze and will not. Then the error 260 message comes up saying that there is no connection. Hence the point the wrapper won't work even with xp, antivirus turned off and 3.7 framework (even tried going back to 3.5 and same thing). I even tried doing everything at home on my vista notebook and the same things happen.

Few questions:
1) Under usual conditions, does the device establish a connection via ActiveSync?
2) Does the problem occur in a new user profile /w Admin priviledges on your XP workstation where you establish a Guest connection via ActiveSync to the device?
3) Have you tried a Hard Reset on your device prior to flashing HardSPL?
4) Have you removed the SIM and any SD Card for the time being?
5) Are you able to successfully flash a non-test version of an official AT&T ROM to your device?
1. Yes alot. Only use it for transferring files and battery charging.
2. No, registered device in activesync with full administrative rights to my workstation. I don't have any problems with losing connection during file transfer, etc.
3. Yes, did a hard reset a couple weeks ago and same thing. Possibly going to try it today again because I installed a couple programs before attempting hardspl the last time.
4. I take them out when trying to flash
5. No, I'm stuck with the AT&T Test ROM. Have tried ones on here that are supposed to be stock AT&T ROMs and the same thing happens.
Your response to #5 concerns me; just to make sure I understand ... you are unable to flash an official ROM to your device?
Here's the link to the latest official AT&T FUZE ROM:
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553
Springboard URL: http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB95876
Download the ROM and try flashing it to your device; if it fails ... time to call AT&T, you have a problem with your device.

Is there a net framework 3.7 for pc's? Or are you talking about your phone? You need net framework 3.5 on your pc to run the flash. It won't work with 2.0. It doesn't matter which compact framework you have on the phone.
Did you already try putting your phone in Bootloader mode, and then connecting it to your PC? Does it load the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies/HTC/Pocket PC USB Sync driver? Did you make sure the SIM and SD cards were removed from your device? FYI - You HAVE to use the RUU that comes with HardSPL in order for it to flash successfully. If you've verified that your computer has installed the drivers, and then been unable to successfully complete HardSPL, I'm not sure what to tell you. Do you press "yes" on the Device when running the HardSPL RUU & you're prompted to run the program?
Those are all the suggestions I have.
Last night as I was driving home my phone kept disconnecting as it was charging. I finally found the answer! First time it ever did that. So its back to AT&T for a new one. Probably should have mentioned that the phone was submerged in the toilet (thank god before the #2) a couple months ago. The phone went crazy and started saying error messages with email and then lines going thru it. But after a couple days of drying it worked fine again.

HD2 Bricked - Empty white screen

Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC HD2, thing is that the phone it's not booting correctly, all i got when i power on the device, it's an emty white screen... without the green HTC letters.
I got installed a cooked ROM, BsB Beast 6.1, with radio 2.12.50.02_2, and i was running Android from SD when all this **** started, two weeks ago. The phone battery ran out while i was on Android, a couple of hours later... i got home and plugged the phone for charging. When i pressed the power button, the phone boots with that blank screen.
I can get into the bootloader, and it's showing this info (whitout the underscores):
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
_____________0x05
_____________0x30
CotullaHSPL
I've tried many different things and none seems to do anything at all:
- First of all, i did a hard reset. The process ends OK but the phone stays doing the same
- Then, i tried to flash again the same ROM i was using. I was unable to do that by using CustomRUU and PC connection. The phone it's detected by the PC, and the bootloader screen shows that it's conneted by "USB". Then, i executed the CustomRUU app, following all the steps and, when the phone should start flashing the progress bar doesn't get past 0%, both the phone display and PC. After a few minutes, CustomRUU gives an error saying "timeout" connection. I've tried to do this from different USB ports and different PCs with the same result.
- After those fails, i tried to flash again the cooked rom from SDCARD. The process ends OK, saying "Update Complete". Then, i rebooted the phone but the blank screen remains the same way. That cooked ROM doesn't have radio.
- After that, i decided to flash a stock ROM. First, i tried to make a "Task 29" to the phone, but i got the same problem than with the cooked ROM. The progress bar doesn't get past 0%. With the stock ROM the problem was the same again. Then, i tried to flash the stock ROM from SDCARD. The process stops at X% saying 0018003 RADIO - FAIL. I've got this error each time i try to flash a ROM with radio or a radio itself.
- I was able to do a "task 29" by using MTTY, but nothing changes when i try to flash any ROM after that.
- i've tried to upgrade my HSPL, by using both HSPL2 and HSPL3. Both programs detects my version of HSPL, then the process starts and ends saying "Succesfully done" but nothing changes in my bootloader, it's still saying that i got 1.42.HSPL
Since i can get to the bootloader, i hope to have any chance to get this device back to life.
I've readed some posts here and within other forums, i've tried with many different cooked or stock ROMS but nothing works
I hope to find help here, thanks in advance and, sorry if my speaking it's not 100% correct
yet another "i was running android and...........now my phone won't boot".. thread. makes me glad i don't bother with android...tried it once and had to hard reset, never touched it since, heh.
for the sticking at 0%,and timeouts etc, try and always enter bootloader yourself, then wait for serial to become usb, and then run customruu. this way you can also visually confirm hspl is there(or not there, depending what you are doing) and it should cure certainly the timeouts.
if i were you, i'd concentrate on getting back to stock, and start over.(only skimmed your post, i'm mobile, so sorry if i say something you already did.)
get into bootloader, get rid of hspl if it s there,(run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000) then back into bootloader(you should soon get used to holding vol down as each stage completes to reenter bootloader) then try flash your CORRECT stock rom via usb. if that fails try it using the sd card method.
Thanks for answering, samsamuel.
I haven't looked into the Android section for threads with the same problem i got, maybe i should have started that way
Each time I enter the bootloader, i'm doing as you've said (believe me... in these days i've become a "master" on pushing power button with vol. down )
I always wait for the bootloader to finish loading, then i plug the phone to my PC, wait again for "Serial" turns into "USB" and, then, start the flashing process.
I'll try to do what you said with HSPL2, to select 1.66.000. Each time i've tried with different HSPLs, i've selected 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL... so, i guess i should try with that.
I'll be updating this thread as soon as i got news.
/me edit
I must to say, that Android was running "fine" (some minor problems when trying to wake up the phone, but nothing critical apart from this disaster). By the record, i didn't have installed dual boot... the phone always boots into WinMo
Hi again,
I have tried to update my SPL to 1.66.000 without success, despite what HSPL2 says ("Succesfully done")
Any thought about this? I can't understand why those programs are saying "OK" but are doing nothing
thanks in advance
not seen it first hand but have read several threads where the update seems to work but nothing changes. not really sure as to cause or cure, sorry.
I wonder if is there a way to make HSPL2 / HSPL3 to leave traces or any log of what they are doing... in order to see why my phone is ignoring them
Little bump, looking for more help
Is this the right subforum to post this things?

[Q] Is my phone bricked??

Hey all, I am having trouble booting anything onto my HD2 everytime i boot the phone i get stuck on the (tri colour screen) "Hardspl" i think..
I am able to install original HTC roms and custom roms via USB and Serial but after i install them and it says installation complete when the phone restarts it just gets stuck on the "Hardspl" screen again??
Any help is appreciated thanks

(UPDATED)
How do i remove hspl ive tried installing an offical rom from the SD card but i still boot into this screen ????
Try this........
Power off the phone (make sure your battery is over 50%)
Turn on while holding the vol. down button.
You should be at bootloader (three colour screen)
If you have HSPL installed you should see "cotulla" and "HSPL" on the bootloader somewhere.
If youve been flashing official roms though this may have uninstalled HSPL.
I couldnt get the screenshots you linked to...
You can attach image files using the "manage attachments" button down under the text entry area.. (i think)
Id suggest trying to flash a stock/official rom just now until you get up and running.
With the phone at bootloader you should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen....
Connect via USB and wait for "serial" to change to "USB", this could take a few minutes.......
When you see "usb" flash the ROM from your pc......
You should make sure that you have the correct ROM for your phone, go to the HTC site and pump in your serial number.
If you still have problems after this then post back here with any error messages you might get...
Hope that helps.....
Thanks for the reply, for the link you need to add (http ://) sorry i should have mentioned that
but i just finished doing what you told be and it finished installing. it had the HTC logo on phone with loading bar as on PC screen no errors :S but im still stuck on the tri colour screen
I originally had android booted onto this mobile but the 3G was not working so i tried installing the HTC wm 6.5 rom that I downloaded from the HTC website but it would not get out of the tri colour screen after i installed it.
So i though it may have been the hardspl its self so i updated the SLP from 2.05 to the 3.03 one im currently on but it does the same thing
Hmm ok...
So the flash finished all the wasy to 100% and there were no error messages..
then the phone rebooted and went to bootloader (3 colours)...??
Restarting the phone just keeps returning you to bootloader??
Try turning off then back on while holding down both volume buttons and see what happens.
Which model of HD2 do you have and which ROM did you flash??
Yes thats correct.
When i turn the device on wile holding vol up-down i get a grey screen to
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. press vol up to restore or press any other keys to cancel"
and im not sure what HTC HD2 i have..
Model: T8585 ?
I flashed the latest rom from the HTC website using the S/N
"RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
Okay, get to that screen and press volume up to continue, this will perform a hard reset which is recommended after a flash, your device should then boot up, may take a few minutes as its the first time..........
ok, It finished in like less then 10sec but there was not skips did from 1% - 100% smoothly and says "Restore....Completed Press VolUp to boot"
So i pressed volume up and once again stuck on the tri colour screen
any more suggestions or is my phone dead?
Hmmm
Phones not bricked because 95% of the time if you can get to bootloader the problem can be fixed........
I have the feeling this is something obvious that Im not picking up on.
Chances are someone else will see this and point out the obvious but at the minute I cant think why it might be doing that......
You could try flashing the ROM from SD card.
Rename the file on your PC to "leoimg.nbh" and put it on a 2gb/4gb sd card, turn the phone off, put the card in, turn on and it should flash........
Like I said, i dont think your phone is dead, I think Im missing something obvious....
its weird because i can install roms, hardspl's and all that stuff it knows the phone is there and installs them but for some reason it never gets passes the hardspl stage.. on each boot.
it accually boots into the tri colour screen in a split second of turning the phone on
Its a longshot but is there any possibility that your volume down button is stuck in the pressed position.........
yeah i have installed off the SD card already. that took awhile but it says everything is ok and installsion has completed.
same problem though once i restart tri-coloured screen pops up.
Im afraid Im not sure about this one...........
I'll keep thinking and let you know if anything occurs to me.....
Im sure someone else will chip in at some point and point out the issue though.
alright no worries thanks for the help and time hopefully someone knows what the problem is.
Maybe if i uninstall the Hardspl? might totally wreck it and 100% brick my phone if it fails but I think its the only option ill have left soon
uninstalling hspl shouldnt cause any harm........
I didnt realise you had HSPL installed, I take it you instaled that after flashing the stock rom??
If you have HSPL installed......
Try to install a custom rom, ie an energy rom, just as an experiment........
dunno if youve seen the images yet conan, but unless its changed since, the OP has 3.03.0000
also, if he has magldr installed ( i didnt see it mentioned, but..) when you hard reset it takes just a few seconds, because it is only hard resetting magldr (at least thats my understanding, and would offer a reason why hard reset is so quick)
I suspect incorrect 3,14 flash, which didnt complete so its returning to bootloader,
so, OP, bootloader - hspl4 - 3.03.hspl - flash your 3.13 rom again, over usb.
ok thanks ill try that right now, also yes magldr was installed for android but i thought I got rid of it once i rebooted the offical HTC rom.
If this works im donating $20 to you right away no joke .. ive been trying to fix for 13hours straight

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sd card flash, right?
Step 1 of the flash is the spl gets overwritten by the one in the leoing.nbh rom (3.03.0000 in this case) and then the phone reboots, and starts to flash , , splashscreen (where magldr is), radio, rom.
BUT, the phone wont allow the flash to start because hspl is now gone, so it fails CID checks and stops, so doesn't remove magldr, radio, rom, nothing, it just stops. Further attempts at flashing fail because you teh user haven't notived the spl change, you assume the whole flash failed, and that hspl is still there.
You shouldnt be able to get that far normaly, it would fail before it even starts, on a stock spl, except that hspl was there, so the flash was allowed to begin.
Ok, so its on SPL-3.03.HSPL now then I installed the latest HTC offical rom with USB but still no go
also if it is resetting magldr how come it doesent load up like it used to after a reset
