[q] hspl > spl - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After dropping my phone i'm going to claim on my mobile insurance and thought might be a good idea to return it back to SPL 1.42.00 incase they decide to try diddle me out of a replacement. I've read the How to flash everything thread and saw step 4 (below)
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
Will it matter which stock rom i do this with? Should i use the 1.48 it shipped with or the current 1.66 Rom?
Thanks for reading!
PS. Sorry for the picture quality

mm need for sd flashing run hspl2 and choose 1.42.0000
though in full answer yes it does matter which stock you use. vthey will all remove hspl, but only the correct stock for your phone will successfully flash.

Whats MM?
Would you say i need to put the original 1.48 ROM on then?

nope, just connect your phone via active sync or in bootloader and run hspl2.exe
you can choose there to install 1.42.0000spl
what you mentioned is for hspl, but hspl2 and 3 contain many spls as well.

oh, lol mm should be 'no', stupid predictive txt, heh.
from your sig i see you are running a generic 1.66 rom, so no need to go back to true stock, just run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000 to match your rom, , , so long as it is a real rom, not cooked, and the spl ends 0000 (but not 2.08.0000 thats for tmouses) then its good for warranty.

Unlock unsuccessful, please help.

hi,guys.
i just got my spv m3100 yesterday. followed the instruction provided on this forum and yet i got the Unlock success message on my phone.
I thought the phone has been sim-unlocked, however, when i try to put on another sim card which is not from orange, it gave me the following message:
"You have tried 5 times, please wait until timeout..."
_____________ (should enter code here)
|OK| |Emergency|
i also tried to put the unlock code: "If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978."
and it said that is an invaild code. can anyone help?
thanks
Please confirm that you have flashed the patched Radio ROM correctly.
You can do this by clicking Settings---->System----->Device Information.
Radio version should read 1.16.00
If not then retry the flash again.
Regards
S.K.
hi, silent...thanks for the advise.
i did servral time rom flash again however, after i reset the device after the error message. the rom version still 1.06, the same.
what do i do about it? i am sure i followed the instruction...just don't know where i did wrong...thanks
here some more information about my device:
Rom Version: 1.23.61.4
Rom Date: 07/13/06
Radio Version: 1.06.00.00
Ok
The unlocker is not working because the radio is not flashing correctly.
Firstly lets just make sure that you are running the correct bootloader and Orange Uk haven't updated their devices with a new ROM.
Put your device into bootloader mode, do this by pressing power+ok button together and then soft reset (while buttons are still pressed).
EDIT: Ensure its Ok button on side of device, not ok button next to d-pad
Should now see a screen with coloured blocks and some information on screen.
Post here what it says after SPL
Regards
S.K.
thanks for the advise again.
i did confirm the bootloader before i do the flash, but i checked it again. here is the info.
HERM100
IPL - 1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.04
THANKS
hi..i tried few times again but it still won't flash the Radio. By the way, i am using the Windows installed by Parallels on MacBook. Would that be the problems? cause the bootloader is 1.04 but it just doesn't work. i really don't know why..also, the RUU is not getting the information from my devis either.

Are you flashing with phone booted in OS or are you flashing from Bootloader??
hi..i was doing the flash from Bootloader.
after some research i known some people have the problems too...also i tried the command method from POF but can not get the "0" message...

Definitely! Try either booting into windows directly or using an actual PC for the radio reflash.

how to flash any ROM to CID locked

Hi all
I was sick waiting for cid unlock for (t-mobile ameo – dutch),
So I used modified tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154
to force writing Windows.nb ,just changed the bat file to write the new OS and it worked, my Athena now has English OS from RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00
the modified tool is here
http://www.aczua.com/Athena_upgrade.rar
(use @ your own risk)

sorry not yet, needs the wm6 XIP but wm5 cooking can happen
can this remove the sim/network lock as well?
So then the question is: What is the best ROM out there... the AMEO, Dopod or HTC?
lawbet7eb, can i first thank you for the doing this for the ameo/dopod/advantage communities. Could you please inform me or point me to the correct link which will show me how to use this tool, thank-you.

Thanks for the link fallenczar. This is great news indeed. Is this now officially CID unlocked? Or just a way of forcing a flashing of another ROM?
CAN U please provide with more deatils of how did u do it !!! we all appretiate it hoop that u can say how to upgrade to english waited something like this for a long time THANKS ALOT !!!
Its NOT Cid unlocked, it uses some utilities by itsme to write directly to the NAND flash that the OS is stored in
Is it possible flashing the device fromout the bootloader screen? Or must the device be connected en synched using activesync?
Regards

Can anyone modify the files to flash radio..I know that if we flash POF's 1.16 Radio of Hermes, it makes the device Super CID..
Tried, but doesn't work...pls others post the results
OK..could flash..one needs to first hard Reset yr PPC, then install cert,rapi cabs, then swith off for 10 sec and reboot, then async run the batch file..works..great discovery..

what do you mean by great discovery?..do you manage to flash the radio?
you cant flash radio like this.
Can someone add the procedure to the wiki and does it mean that now i can flash my english ameo with a unbranded htc athena rom ?
Take it easy friends...it needs to be safe for all to use..
Guys I'm all for progress and this going in the right direction, but it is NOT properly CID unlocked. Be very careful peeps before someone bricks their device!
This is why we have set up the Athena project, to avoid this and get some pro's to help us.
I hope everyone agrees that Midget_1990 should be on board as he is experienced with ROM cooking and the likes for the VGA 3G Universal and is the only xda developer who has showed an active interest in our forum.
if you read the link from arti upgrade you will get the picture,
it could be risky to force OS with this procedure as we all know that there is a problem with athena cutting connection, read this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298259
if athena cuts and upgrade was not complete, u can reflash with original rom.
another thing, this upgrades only the OS, not radio, ipl spl...etc, AND IT WILL NOT MAKE ATHENA CID-UNLOCKED
i believe we all should join The Athena Project @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311651
there is nothing like SuperCID Athena
I heard from somebody that there was a way to CID unlock an Ameo with the old original radio ROM from T-Mobile. You had to flash back to an early Radio, then you could remove CID lock (or the early radio didnt have a CID lock in it). Then you could flash a normal Athena Radio back into it. He was vague about it but promised to email me the full procedure. He never did.
Is this worth looking into?
thanks to lawbet..now i have a full english version rom...
i first attempt was stucked..but then tried again using hdubli instruction...i`m happy right now untill we get cid unlock...
cheers..

Error flashing Sprint Mogul to dcd 3.3.4

I just had my Mogul swapped on a warranty replacement so I need to flash the ROM. I haven't done this in a while so, using these directions by USB, I downloaded bootloader 2.40 and dcd's latest ROM and Sprint dialer. I successfully updated the bootloader to 2.40 but I get the following error when trying to install the radio.

Just to see what would happen I flashed the ROM even though the radio didn't install properly and it worked but I couldn't connect to the internet and the ## codes didn't work. I was able to flash back to the stock Sprint ROM.
Has anyone else had this problem?

With DCD roms there is no internet or ## codes added in his roms
You need to go to DCD's Carrier Files
Thanks, I must have missed that. Do I just run the cab after flashing the ROM and I'll have a fully functioning radio with GPS?

All the carrier cab does is add internet and epst settings for the network you use
GPS is enabled by the radio and a driver.... as long as you install a newer radio from sprint or alltel then gps will work with DCD roms.... With DCD's builds it takes about 2 min for a gps connection
That's the problem, I get that error when trying to install the radio. I extract the TITAIMG.NBH and put it in the RUU folder and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and get the error I posted above. If I install dcd's ROM after that it seems to work except for internet and ## codes. If all I have to do is run the cab for the carrier file that you posted, then great. I'm just making sure I'm not missing anything since I can't get the nbh to work.

The Ruu programs for the titan are finicky so that is probably your problem
Is there another way to install the radio? The last time I flashed the Mogul it was for dcd 3.0.0 and the radio was an exe, but I can't find one for the current version.
if you install the newest sprint or alltel rom then it will have the newest radio... then you hard SPL your device with nueSPL-2.47 then install dcd's rom then add the carrier cab.... for MMS your on your own for that
OK I got it. The Mogul had the latest Sprint ROM so it already had the dialer it needed, I didn't realize that. I just flashed dcd's again then install the carrier cab and so far everything's working. I just need to test out GPS. Thanks for your help.

[Q] PB81

Anyone, any ideas?
Quite some time ago, when HD2 was brand new, there were some people around with unofficial beta-ROMs on their devices. Don´t exactly know what was going on, but I am quite sure the search function will bring this or that into light for you.
Maybe flashing with a Goldcard might help, not sure. But apparently, your SPL seems to face troubles, no wonder you´ve got freezes etc.
Did you try to flash something older than the 3.14 stock ROM? A lot of users are not happy with this anyway...
Also, older SIM cards or some SD cards can cause issues, did you try to flash without those in the device?
I flashed all three ROMs which are available to download at HTC Website via RUU and direct from SD-Card. I also tried to install all SPL which are available from Bepe and Cotulla. I got the Security Unlocked line away on top but the freezing problems are ongoing as before.
Actual I have two HD2s, both are from same Provider with same SIM-lock but with different SIM-Unlocks. I did a photo of Boot Screen and this shows the difference. I have actual on both last Stock ROM.

As you can see, the difference is in first line "PB 81100" and "PB 81***" I think I have to improve here but not glue how to???
Update:
And now it becomes really strange. I already flashed the strange phone with Stock ROM from SD-Card so you can see above. After that I did a flash with latest ARTEMIS ROM and SSPL_RUU and the following Boot Screen appears
So before flashing there was SPL 3 on phone, while flashing there was SPL1.42.6666 on phone and after flashing there is SPL 3 again on phone???
Click to expand...

Sir, SSPL works only for 1 (one) cycle. After you reboot the phone, your SPL will return to the original one (the one before SSPL).
SPL 1.42.6666 is only a temporary SPL modifying your actual/original SPL.
Cheers
Good, good, good ... but the question is --> How do I come from PB81*** to PB81100?

I forget the link, but I read somewhere in this forum, that PBxxxx represents the region of the phone. I think you flash unsuitable rom. In other words, the rom is not for your phone.

As I wrote above (maybe bad english), I flashed both mobiles with latest Stock-Rom (downloaded from htc.com/de) via, SD-card. Both mobiles were sold from same Mobile provider in austria with same SIM-lock. But, they were un-SIM-locked differently. Now, one is working smoothly (the one with PB81100) and one freezes almost (the one with PB81***) and GPS is working really, really badly in comparison to the other one.
EDIT: GPS is completly NOT working on device with PB81*** on Boot-Screen :-(
Push this thread!
hi,
i have also an htc hd2 from "3" in austria.
i flasht it to hspl 2.08 without any problems.
but! since i let it unlock it in a mobile-store here in vienna.
the model ID- is now "PB81xxxx".
and now: it is not possible to flash it back.
here are the pics:
pocketpc.ch/htc-hd2-rom-upgrade/126754-sim-sntsperren-kein-flashen-mehr-moeglich.html#post990530
it seams the cnaged the model _ID during unlocking.

[TOOL] Titan Advanced RUU

1. Possibility to choose one from several NBH files. Files should be placed in one folder with utility.
2. Possibility to choose the way (option) of flashing
3. Possibility to get NBH file info (Modification date, Model ID, CID, Version, Lang, Chunk size)
Regular RUU (Task 28)
Hard Reset is performed straight after flashing automatically (good for NBH containing OS section)
Custom RUU (Task 00)
to install only radio roms without performing hard-reset.

Custom ROMs can be flashed if HSPL is installed to device (no idea when it will be ready or published)
Utility was tested with official Titan roms - thanks to AndrewSh and Feropont
ATTENTION! Unskilled interference to your phone's OS can totally crash your device.
If you understand what are you going to do - go ahead.
No warranty.... use on your own risk.
thanks alot barin.
Thank you buddy, good job
Excellent and very convenient tool - thank you very much my friend.
For those who will use it with official nbh - remember that process is "freezing" at 5% - re-flashing spl - so don't worry - just wait with patience. It will continue faster after spl update.
Also remind - how to get to bootloader mode - switch the device off, press and hold Volume Up and Down simultaneously and turn the device on. Then connect USB cable.
Titan Advanced RUU and nbh file should be placed in one folder on your PC.
Thank you, good job
Thank you , good job
Thank you so much!!!!
hi, sorry for the question but with this tool, does it mean that i can flash a taiwan ROM on my european htc titan ? or is it still restricted to the only ROMs from europe ?
xtrememanix, this tool is just Update utility - flasher. You should wait for HSPL to flash another region to your device.
Man... seem that HSPL for HTC Gen2 is coming!!!! LOL.

No info, dude, if it's coming or not.
Actually Titan Advanced RUU has no connection to HSPL discussions ans speculations. It's the same situation as with OsBuilder - current public version supports WMSTORE (second gen devices rom structure) but there's no way to flash custom second gen roms.
nice tool..thx4that....yeah thats right..building a rom is not the problem...the bootloader is it..hmm...someone here can contact cotulla or other people from the dft team 4 some news?..
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
So with task28, when it finish flashing ROM to my Titan, and just wait to config into WP7? Don't need hard reset anytime by myself?
Little confusing
My ways of flashing ROM:
Using RUU to flash
After finish. Turn off device and Hard reset it.
With Task28 i dont have to Hardreset anymore, right?
