ive installed the HSPL tool so i can flash any rom i like the look of but now when i go to flash via customruu.exe fiile the install freezes at 0% both on laptop and phone screen, any ideas pls

have you flashed the spl yet?
you have to start by this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433

yes ive installed the HSPL via the link, i think version 3

Do you have the .nbh and .ruu files in one folder together?

you probably ran hspl3 and chose 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08.hspl
run it again but this time choose 2.08.hspl
(a million noobs a day make this mistake )

"you probably ran hspl3 and chose 2.08.0000 instead of 2.08.hspl"
yes im pretty sure i did, ill run the other one and give it another go.
yes i have the .nbh and the customruu.exe in the same folder.
thanks guys

Help needed: how to extract a.nbh file from a shipped offical rom

Hi to everyone, i'm in a dire need to uninstall a HSPL from my device, the only way tio do that, as i was told, is to install a fresh offical rom from sd card: my problem is that i don't know how or from where extract the proper .nbh file.
I've installed the hspl and a cooked rom, then, i've stupidly overflashed an offical rom. Now i can't reinstall any cooked rom, nor uninstall hspl again.
Thanks in advance for any advice or hint.
You said you have flashed an official rom. You might have already removed HSPL.
just to make sure you have hspl on your device power off your device. then press volume down button, hold it when short pressing the power button.
this will bring your devece in bootloader screen which is red,green,blue and white.
you should see something here like
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
cotullaHSPL
1.42 is the version of hspl. if it is different you have used a newerone.
report here what you see on the screen
we will be able to help you further
When you run any stock .exe file, it extracts the contents to a temp folder on Windows and runs the RUU.exe from there.
Simple way how I get it is :
(1) Run the stock packed exe (Keep it open, do not click next)
(2) Goto Run prompt in Windows, and type %temp%
(3) The new folder that opens is the temp folder being used by Windows
(4) Sort the folders by Date and see the latest modified one probably like Zip... or Rar... something
(5) you will find the .nbh files inside this folder
Copy away wherever you want
Copy this nbh to root of your card and name it LEOIMG.nbh
Restart phone...keep Vol Down pressed and when asked press Power button....Happy Restoring
The problem is that HSPL seems to not work, i've done all the passages shown in post #3, but when i restart os from sd, a new 1.66 SPL appears instead of mine 1.4200 and then it goes stuck, i've to put in bootloader and load the rom from the original .exe package, if i try to run the HSPL again, it shows the "we've hacked" screen, but when i try to load a cooked rom, appear the warnigns about the bootloader and the getinfo, therefore i flash and in the end i arrive always at the same stuck white htc logo, what's wrong?
Thaks for the answers
Marco
extract it use seven zip or WinRAR......Right Click In rom ship.exe and choose Extract file and you can see the .nbh file in extracted folder
The windows in our computers not read .nbh !!?
what is application needed to run .nbh?

You need to read the stickys in the ROM Development forum and learn how to do it. Don't start trying to flash a new ROM before you have any idea of what you are doing, you could brick your HD2.
Read here for a brief overview, and look over the stickys in the ROM Development section so you know what you are doing.
They are talk about HTC HD and my phone is HTC TOUCH HD
ex: they are asking for SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.42.HSPL, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 1.66.HSPL,
SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000 SPL, 2.08.HSPL
and in HTC TOUCH HD we dont have like this rom
i don't know. what is going on.

Stock SE ROM

Hi, i need to remove HSPL and wonder if anybody have a stock...i mean stock rom for Sweden (SE). All i found is broken links. From HTC Sweden 1.48 and 1.66 can be downloaded. But we started out on 1.43 and i guess thats what i need to get rid of HSPL.
HTC Support site?
Try downloading one of these from HTC Support. (You will need your serial)
Then start the upgrade utility, follow instructions until you need to awknoledge you have read the warning in red.
Now in your temp folder there will be a folder containing the ROM (RUU_signed.nbh). (in my case the folder is named pft100.tmp)
Copy the ROM to a safe place
Close upgrade utility.
Now follow instructions as in Flash guide:
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
This method removes HSPL!!
slightly simpler ways to get the ruu_signed file
right click the rom.exe choose extract here
or
right click the rom.exe and choose open with (winrar, winzip ro whatever)
or
right click the rom.exe choose rename and change the extension from .exe to .zip then double click the file to open it with winrar/winzip whatever you have installed.
however you dont really need to extract the .nbh file anymore, you can run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000 (or 1.42.0000) and then when it has done hspl is now gone, and you can flash the rom over usb by running the .exe.
Also, , Leo Official Roms thread, first post first link, , the 1.48 and 1.66 folders both contain SVE stock roms.
Thnx for your quick and detaild responses.
Why i asked for a official 1.43 or old Swedish rom was because i have done the steps above (Exept using HSPL2) and when i boot (with volym down) nothing happens, text is saying serial on boot screen.
Now, im using the first HSPL (perhaps the first ever to come out) version since my phones is old now (almost a year =). Could maybe this fix it, and isnt HSPL2 for us modells of HD2?

nope, hspl2 is for regular hd2, , the first one that you have only supported 1.42.0000, hspl2 supports all spl versions. HSPl3 is for US tmous hd2 (and telstra).
Downloaded HSPL2. Installed Swedish stock rom 1.66 and used HSPL2.... it worked, incredble. Thnx for the help all.

[Q] Unable to upgrade Radio

Hi, I'm trying to flash a Radio for the first time (I'm following the "Definitive guide" to run Andriod), and have already installed HSPL.
When I run the Custom RUU, with either Radio version provided, I get to the progress bar, and it stays at 0% for 5-6 minutes, then I get an error, and some recovery steps.
What could cause the Radio not to be flashed? I ran the program as Admin (win 7) and have renamed the .nbh file to "RUU_signed".

when you installed hspl i suspect you (like hundreds of others) chose the wrong option in the dropdown and actually installed a stock spl.
Go into bootloader, , next to spl does it end '.0000'? it should end '.hspl'
run it again and make sure the hspl you choose doesnt end 0000
oh and you dont need to rename the .nbh file for customruu to work.
Yes, it was a "0000" thanks for the quick response
no worries.

[Q] Bricked????

First of all i`m not a developer i`m a simple user of a HTC HD2 and i need your help guys cuz i`m in panic!!!!!!!!!
The story sounds like this, i installed Android on my phone, then it gave me errors cuz of the old radio. Then i decided to upgrade the radio to 2.15, and i decided to flash back my wm 6,5 to be able to sync it with windows 7 and make the radio update and i downloaded the img from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317, i started the loading process and it suddenly stopped saying some errors appeared, not when i start it writes "Software update failed, please try again" red green blue white...
I`m in panic, what should i do!?!!
You have not bricked your HD2, and seeing as you have not posted back here in a several hours you may have solved your problem.
Just go to htc.com and enter the serial number of your HD2 and download the ROM from there then fllash it either by SD or RUU (USB).
helpp
let me tell you the whole thing.
first i had windows 6.5 on my htc hd2 t mobile .
i shifted to android 2.2 through the instructions available at xda forums.then i wanted it to convert to android 2.3 but i couldn't find any way so i planned to downgrade to windows 6.5 n then to android 2.3.
i followed the above old link that i mention in the first post to downgrade to windows 6.5 but wen i loaded the boot-loader it said update rom error.since then i only see the colored screen.i tried many roms but all say the same thing that rom file corrupted.but if i use different leoimg.nbh extracted from the stock rom ,the installation process doesn't starts and keeps on stuck at the o% level
help me out plzz
Re apply hspl which has probably gone, then flash rom over USB.
When I flashed 1.72 trying to restore stock, (yes correct rom) I got software update failed until I used hspl.exe to change spl to 1.xx from 2.08.hspl, dunno why it wouldn't take, but it wouldn't until I changed spl.
ignore this comment if you have a tmous, don't try installing 1.xx spl on a tmous.

[Q] Need some help ref: removong HSPL

My HD2 needs to go in for repair so I need to remove HSPL and flash a stock WinMo ROM ready for monday when it is getting collected.
I have followed the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402 but the screen does not go grey, there is a very quick flash then it returns to the multicoloured screen and pressing the power button does nothing
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me here as I have to sort this before Monday.
Cheers in advance
Bry.

the quick flash is the bootloader looking for a valid file, and usually means one of a few things..
1 - the file isn't correctly named leoimg.nbh
2 - you simply renamed the htc_wwe_blahblah_.exe to leoimg.nbh instead of extracting ruu_signed.nbh and renaming THAT.
3 - you are using an sd card bigger than 4gb (not always the case, but most times bigger cards fail)
4 - the card is formatted FAT16 instead of FAT32
5 - hspl isn't installed after all and the ROM is not a match for the phones ROM/region lock. (what does the spl line say in bootloader?)
try those, see if it resolves it.
fix
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 and on the 4th post there is a zip at the bottom download unzip and run and just choose the non hspl
what hspl are you running?
Ok tried again and the bootloader screen looks like this
thats the right on but the last line about the touch is different i have 50 instead of 40
Any reason why it would be different?
Wanna make sure its dont right, dont want em sending it back and telling me I have hacked it
That's only a valid spl if you have a tmous,,,, if you have a regular hd2 then any spl starting 2 is wrong. Only tmous roms use 2.x spls.
Its a UK O2 phone mate, what have I done wrong then?

Well without scanning back through the thread, I'm guessing you had 2.08.hspl installed and ran hspl2 or 4, which will have defaulted to the opposite, namely 2.08.0000,
Or,you SD flashed a tmous stock rom, which didn't initially fail because hspl was installed, but then failed to continue to flash after the spl had changed because hspl was no longer there.
Fix - run hspl2 (hspl2 is the most usefull for us reg Leo users) and choose a matching spl to the rom version installed ...
Rom ....... spl
1.43 ....... 1.42.0000
1.66 ....... 1.66.0000
3.14 ....... 3.03.0000 -- you would need to use Hspl4 for this.
If the phone is buggered and wont boot, then it doesn't really matter which you choose, so long as it's one of those three.
(And in fact it probably wouldn't matter even if the rom and spl don't match,, they're only really interested in the spl, just nice to be cautious,would be a pain to have it sent back on a technicality)
Phone boots but I cant do anything with it due to the screen freeze which is why its going back to HTC.
Ok now it tells me I dont have SPL 1.42 on my phone and it refuses to flash a stock ROM :/
Guess I am screwed, new phone time

You're using the wrong hspl.exe, its v1 that requires 1.42 to work,,,try again.
Ok I think I got it
I should flash the latest ROM again aswell really as they asked me to do that when I rang em yesterday
All sorted and upgraded to the latest ROM ready to go back to HTC.
Cheers mate saved me a lot of heartache
Welcome...
while on this topic, im using Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** via HSPL
now i wish to return to my stock (which i am pretty sure is this :
RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
(i copied down these details when i got my phone on the first day)
do i need to roll down to Radio 2.05.51.05_2 ?
i cant seem to get this ROM installed, whether its 1.42 SPL or 2.08 HSPL
i removed HSPL, and definitely not a TMOUS hd2 but cant install the stock rom
