Hi,
Having hardware issue with my LEO and need to return it to vendor for replacement. Have been trying to get original SPL 1.66.0000 back onto phone however I'm not having much luck.
I've copied the stock vendor image to root of SD as LEOIMG.nbh however when I enter the bootloader I keep seeing the "no image file" message so it won't attempt a flash. If a connect the phone to the PC via USB I can see the file exists on the SD card.
Have also tried re-formatting the card as FAT32 but doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Currently using SPL 2.08.0000 but want to get back to 1.66.0000 as I don't think Telstra's image is running with anything higher.
I'm not sure what else to try.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
run hspl2 choose 1.66.0000
The problem might be the size of the microSD card. Try using the 2GB card that came with the phone.

After scrambling around I finally found a 2gb microSD card. Now I seem to be stuck on a white "loading" screen when it tries to read the LEOIMG.nbh file.
Any ideas?
Forget that, I had overlooked the fact I was already on 2.08 original so of course it wouldn't work until I installed HSPL on it to be able to backrev
Thanks, all sorted now.

Yes, I did a search and google but still can't find a clear answer. I have just bought a 8525 with ATT and want to start loading those cool WM6 rom's I see all over the site. Problem is I have a Mac and can't figure out how to make it all happen. I use Missingsync and can load cab files with no prob but even trying to load Hard-SPL-V7 is not workning for me. I mean, I can get it on the phone but can't make it open or do anything else. I have checked all the great "how to" files but none seem to address this Mac situation. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be MOST appriciated.
Thanks in advance;

You'll have to use a virtual environment via Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Or get Boot Camp up and running and reboot into Windows.
Finally, you can also do the SD Card method for OS upgrade detailed in the Wiki.
I've done all methods except for Boot Camp without issue.
Hi
Pof's HERMflasher seems to work with Intel MACs too.

Thanks for the reply guys. I have tried the SD method but must be doing something wrong. I renamed the nbh file and then put all the extracted files onto the card. When I attempt to bootload I get to the tricolor screen but nothing else.?????

First, you need to have HardSPLv7 installed. A.f.a.i.k. this does not work with unmodified bootloaders.
Next, you need to make sure that your MicroSD card is formatted using FAT32. The FAT32 cluster size also matters (for my 2gig card, 8k or 4k cluster sizes worked, 16k or 32k cluster size did not).
You dont need an empty sd card for it to work either. As long as the card is formatted correctly (as above), and you put a file called HERMIMG.NBH in the root directly, it should work.
When you soft-reset, you should see a white screen that says "Loading..." for a split second, and then if it detects the HERMIMG.NBH, you should see the prompt asking you if you want to start flashing. It will also tell you what you are trying to flash (IPL, SPL, Splash, OS, GSM, ExtROM, etc.).
ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....

well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....
Basically, here is m problem:
I have a hermes. The GSM wasent working. I though maybe an upgrade to WM6 could correct some software bugs.... Wrong!
I realized it actually briecked (type 1a). Trying to follow the instruction to fix it, but i am not able to send ANYTHING to it!. Either by SD or Custom RUU. Finally i am standing with a Hermes, WM6, and it will NOT accept any flashes i try to put in it!
Its on HardSPL (2.10) IPL 1.04
Thanks in advance
Stephen_D
EDIT: Forgot to say what happens when i try to flash it!
With an SD card all I get it "Loading..." then returns to the bars
By USB it starts updating And freezes on 0%, then the software pops an error after 5 mins like what it can communicate.
Thanks
sort of the same problem...
I've been trying to flash a ROM for the past hour now and my phone doesn't get flashed.
(I already have HardSPL and I'm using a 1gig micro sd)
What I did:
Format the sd card to FAT32
copied the RUU_signed.nbh to sd card then renamed it to HERMING.nbh
I place the sd card on the phone that's connected to a charger
I press Power Button and Ok button on the left side then push reset
What happens:
It goes to bootloader mode (tricolor screen)
then it says loading...(2 seconds)
then goes back to the tricolor screen again
I waited for the prompt that I need to push the Power Button but it never came, so I soft reset it and tried it again but the same all over again.
The ROM I was trying to flash is the AT&T stripped ROM, I read it here that it's better to flash a stock ROM first before flashing/upgrading to a cooked ROM.
By the way I just found out that my X01HT isn't a Softbank, it's a DoCoMo.
Is my phone upgradeable?
Can someone please tell me what I missed?....I really want to upgrade my phone without bricking it.
Thanks!

What format is your SD card? Fat or Fat32?
Its gota be Fat32 to flash from it.
it's all good now....
I've given up flashing my phone from the sd card so I decided to flash it with my laptop instead. Luckily it worked without a hitch.
I'm so loving my phone now, been playing with it for 2 hours and the usual hang ups I got before are non-existing anymore.
To use the sd card method you need to check that the .nbh file is hermimg.nbh, NOT herming.nbh as you had written on your previous post.
The holy trinity of sd card flashing, Formated FAT32, Named hermimg.nbh & sd card is 2Gb or less...
Cheers...
I see.....
ok hermimg.nbh
will try this again, maybe next week since I'm enjoying my new ROM right now.
Thanks ultramag69!
Hi all,
cause my HD2 was getting freeze, I decided to flash it again. After few attempts I am in phase, that I can´t successfully finish any ROM flashing.
I tried official ROMs 1.66.405.2, 1.66.479.2, 3.14.479.2 and also unofficial.
Now I have HSPL 3.03 and flashing always ends up with error mostly in 1% or more %, because of "communication error" or "image file corruption" or "old version of DFT". Flashing from SD card does not work, it goes directly in SPL window..
Phone is still under warranty, but I´m afraid they will refuse it due to installed HSPL.
Does exist some another app like TASK29 or low-level formatting tool?
Any idea what could I try? Can it be cause of corrupted flash memory?
Thanks.
Mira
Don't freak out all is not lost you just hit a bump in the road. Did you reflash HSPL after trying to flash via SD card as flashing a official ROM via SD card will revert you back to SPL.
Yes run a Task 29 on your HD2 and make sure you right click it and run it as administrator. You have to have HSPL to run a Task 29 though so make sure you have HSPL before you run it.
I have used HSPL4 app so at this time I have in phone 3.03 HSPL.
Flashing from SD card didn´t work, window with instruction does not appear.
With Task29 is the situation same. Mostly it does not finish successfully and fail after 19% due to reasons mentioned above. I have only one account in WinXP with admin rights, so this is ok I think.
Just to be sure here you copied the RUU_signed.nbh file to your SD card and renamed it LEOIMG.nbh and then powered your HD2 on while holding the volume down button down right? Just double checking is all, plus you might have to reformat your SD card using Fat 32 if you try it again and get the same results.
It does not matter if you have one or more admin accounts on your computer and it does not matter if you are using the admin account still right click it and run as admin trust me on this.
Also go to myphone.microsoft.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center wich ever one you need according to what version of Windows your computer uses. I tell you to do this to make sure you have the latest USB drivers for your HD2.
- yes I tried it exactly this way, they were 1GB and 4GB microSD formated as FAT32
- as I said, I do not have possibility run exe file as admin, however it was working fine in the past
- I´m using now latest version MS Activesync 4.5.0
still no change

Try Googling for "Panasonic micro SD card formatting software" downloads and install it (it is free) and format your card with it. Sometimes the windows format utility just doesn't do the job. Then place the leoimg.nbh file on your SD card and try to flash it.
hey guys
im trying to uninstall HSPL from my phone. i previously had nandroid but my screen started acting up and it started being unresponsive and i need to uninstall HSPL in order to send it back. I've followed everything in order to uninstall it but for some reason when i boot into bootloader the setup does not start. Did i do something wrong? i did change the file name to LEOIMG.nbh and placed it into the sd card. btw should the sd card be formatted as primary or logical?
Im not sure whats going on so if you guys can help that would be great.
Fat32, primary, and card bigger than 4gb wont work, no you can't partition bigger card down to 4gb, still won't work.
Pick up an old 1 or 2gb card is recommended if you don't already have one.
okay cool thanks i got it to work with your advice. and does it matter which version of the rom i download from tmobile or will any of them work?
yea so long as its from tmobile.com (or whatever the actual address is) and not from HTC.com, it will work on a tmous and remove hspl.
