I bought a used MDA I recently and was quite happy with it for a while. First bought a 512MB SD for it and installed TTN5. Then noticed that I needed more space when I was in Belgium and wanted the Maps for France and got me a 1 GB SD.
I must tell a story first which also occured with the 512 MB SD (but I belileve it isn't SD related anyway): During fiddling with the TTN5 installation, Active Sync and all that (removing programs out of memory or deinstalling them) , it occured several times that the MDA got so slow in response that I had to do a soft reset. The effect when it was slow, was that clicking a menu item took about 5 seconds until the respective action occured. Not only menu items, also action in this bubble game - name escaped me for the moment - was in the same range of slowness.
Doing a soft reset cured the problem.
Now it happened that when I was in Belgium I had connected the cradle to my notebook and was dumping the France maps over USB into the unit. This took an hour or so and I left the setup unattended.
When I came back the notebook had powered down (idle mode). I took out the MDA from the cradle and wanted to switch it on but it didn't react on the on-switch.
Putting it back into the cradle suddelny lit the display and the T-Mobile screen appeared.
From then on the havoc started. I did a soft reset to no avail. A hard reset - nothing.
Accidently (or should I say intuitively) - without knowing that this combination existed - I
pressed the on switch and the soft reset at the same time and got into some strange
Wallaby bootloader which didn't do anything, I think. It timed out or something.
Anyway, I put back the MDA into the cradle, switched it on and left it there with the T-Mobile screen on.
After minutes, may be 10 minutes or so a WM 2003 initial screen had appeared which invited
me to do an initialization.
I went through the interactice dialog and suddenly had a working WM 2003 but is was again
very slow in the menu action.
Also shutting off (switch off) the unit worked but then I couldn't switch it on again.
So in a nutshell, my unit is messed up somehow and I want to get it back into a working state
looking for help in this forum.
How should I proceed now?
flash it with the latest ROM first. If that doesn't work send it off for repair.

Thanks. Since I'm new to the matter: I remember that the version number of the T-Mobile screen
had - at the times it was working - some extra letters above the 4.01.19 (a G and some more
letters). These are gone as if some backup ROM is activated after the (hard) reset (?).
The person who sold me the MDA has unbranded it as she said. How do I get the ROM unbranded? When I download it from T-Mobile it is branded for T-Mobile, isn't it?
I got told of a site "lumpisteffan" which I visited already. Do they
carry the ROM I need? And do they have the instructions to do that or can that be found on this site here? Excuse my ignorance at the moment.
You could use nearly any rom of the kitchen to flash your device.
Because you have the 4.01.19 ROM installed on your device, you have to flash your device using a SD-Card.
Instructions how to do this could be found here in the forum, or in the wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby
When you restart your device, what is shown on the Bootscreen, where also the 4.01.19 appears. The 2 Other lines, what do they contain?
Slowing down your device on using it for some time could be a memory outage.
If you "close" your running applications by pressing the (X) on the top of the screen, they are not closed, but put in the background. So they do use memory..... Just as little hint for you...

Thanks, Stefan. That's of great help. Probably gotta get me a card reader for my desktop first
or could I use my camera also? Probably I can.
> The 2 Other lines, what do they contain
It is puzzling me that I don't see any other letters or lines obove or beyond the line
4.01.19 in the bottom right corner.
But will have to look again at the device later when I have it with me after lunchtime.

Regarding the lines above 4.01.19. They are indeed there (must have had hallucinations).
Comment (reedited):
I noticed that after a soft reset the T-Mobile screen appears with only
4.01.19 in the bottom right. Then after a few minutes the G and R are there.
It reads:
G
R
4.01.19
in magenta letters/digits.
Thanks for the explanation about possible causes for the slowness, but
it is already slow as soon as I have gone through the WM2003 initialization and want to chosse the first dropdown menu item. So no programs in memory at that point in time.
Another effect I forgot to mention:
The first time I put the XDA into the cradle the "charging" LED is red.
After some minutes, when the T-Mobile screen is there it is off.
Normally it is immediately orange when the devie is in the cradle.
I read in another thread that this might be an indication for a blown fuse.
Or blown fuses.
Since that happened in Belgium at the coast in a vacation area it could well be that power spikes have lead to this illbehaviour.

Hi Stefan,
I downloaded the file 4.01.19_GER.exe from the site I was pointed to when visiting your site - I just wanted to go through the steps with an unmodified ROM.
I verified the MD5 sum ok, copied to 17 MB file to my notebook. I had the MDA in the cradle and connected via USB. MS Active Sync had a connection to the device.
At this point I wonder how that would be done with the XDATools OSImagetool which requires to name the source location of the ROM Image. But what I downloaded from your site is an installer .exe.
Anyway when I run the 4.01.19_GER.exe it tells me "Please plug the power adapter in your pocket PC".
Could this be a sign for the malfunction of my device?
How do I get the ROM Image ?
OK. I found that your kitchen builds ROM images while the link to the original ROM obviously delivers the full installer.
Will report further progress.
Looks like your fuse has been killed, or you have problems with your Radio Stack.
Flashing a new ROM wouldn't help to fix that problem......
You could try to repaor the Radio stack by following these instructions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError
If you have a exe-file and you want to have a nb1/Nbf File, you have to extract the exe useing winzip.....

Since the connection via USB sometimes seems to work I tried the XDATools stuff, got me a .nbf file.
I tried the tools intuitively by clicking on the start.bat file.
It told me it had no .nbf file, so I created on from your site.
Thank it told me it didn't have the file in the English subdirectory.
OK, I put it there. The start.bat seems to invoke a adaptrom program. After that the English folder was named German. But some program still requires a GetConnectionType.dll which ain't there.
Anyway, what is pointing to a blown fuse is that I get with all these USB uploaders I'm getting this error telling me I should connect the power cable to my device.
I opened my device and bridged the one fuse (near the lower navigation button) to no avail. Didn't try the other fuse though since I thought that one would be for the piggy back battery, or is it also responsible for the power coming from the cradle?
Could it be my cradle is broken? Ah no, when I insert my spare MDA (the one with the broken display) the orange led lits immediately after inserting the device.
Hi, I`m having some serious issues when trying to flash my HERMES. As far as I can tell, it is SIM Unlocked, but not sure if it`s CID unlocked. it`s SPL-1.06, and I can't seem to get it to install HARDSPL. I have tried, and tried and tried and tried. I've tried flashing VIA SD-CARD, but it just says "LOADING" and displays a number at the top, then goes back to the bootloader screen.
When I am flashing via the wizard, it'll go into the bootloader screen, and the wizard will fail saying it cannot connect "CONNECTION ERROR"...
I am at my wits ends, and cannot figure this out for the life of me. I have had 3 TYTN's now, and this one has gotten the better of me. I was able to flash both of my other TYTN's, but unfortunately I got the WSD, and cannot repair them, they are both beyond my technical knowledge of repairs...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help....
Trying so hard to get this done...
Copied the .nbh (ren to hermimg.nbh) to my SDCARD and reset into bootloader, as I said, it just came up "LOADING" then back to bootloader....
I'd rip my hair out if I had any..
any help would be appreciated..
***UPDATE - I don't know what the hell happened, but suddenly, this bugger is letting me flash VIA SD. It's a damned miracle!
Just out of the blue, it asked me to flash via SD in the bootloader. Thank goodness! After 3 hours, I finally got it working..
Cheers all!
if you need more info, just ask, I will provide all I can....

Okay, when you're in the "bootloader" method, have you renamed the file that you're trying to flash "HERMIMG.NBH".
also, try to use the "stripped" AT&T ROM first, see if that'll help correct the issue.
Did you flash that first before you attempted to flash a different ROM on your Hermes? I've read in many different posts that it is highly suggested to flash that first then flash your ROM to your Hermes.
Should always flash via SD-Card, not recommending flashing via USB Wizard.
Try the "stripped" rom first, on a formatted (FAT32) microSD card, and see if that helps.
Cheers
i have download the "stripped" AT&T ROM ,it also the same ,when using USB method ,it stuck at 1% and my devide reboot .
when using SD card method ,it show (loading ...) about 2 second ,then it will back to tri-color mode there .

I had that exact same problem.
I noticed that I hadn't named the file properly.
It's HERMIMG.NBH I kept putting in HERMING.NBH. It's kind of funny, but it's an easy mistake. When you boot with the "HERMIMG.NBH" it should flash. I used the HARDSPL V7, which can be downloaded at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722, which is a "sticky" for this forum. Try flashing that one. Also, double check your .nbh file, make sure it's HERM IMG not HERM ING
That was the problem I was having too, it would just show "LOADING" and a bunch of numbers then drop to the bootloader... Then all of a sudden... "POOF" it worked, after I double checked the file and noticed my spelling error.
Now, if you have that fixed and still getting the error, it might be something else. I'm not sure how to exactly fix that, but as I said, mine was just a minor spelling error.. The exact spelling that I have, don't know if it is case sensitive, is "HERMIMG.nbh"
if it is case sensitive, that could also be a minor issue.
try it, if it works, then bingo, you're back in business, if not, then I'm not sure how else to fix it.
Cheers!
>.< ,now i type correct word "HERMIMG" ,it shown loading ... and (00068002) on the top of loading ... ,now it ,have better improvement ,it show loading ... for about 5 second only jump back to tri-color there ,izit this is the normal procedure ?

Okay, we're getting there. But still a long way off from it working as it should.
Okay, do you know if your phone is HARDSPL?
If you haven't already HARDSPL your phone, you should download that and try to flash that onto your phone.
Also sounds like it isn't SUPERCID. You'll have to CID unlock your phone, which is a good possibility as to why it isn't accepting other ROMS.
If your phone responds to the flash wizard when you download a ROM then get the SUPERCID and try to flash that one first, then move on to the HARDSPL.
For the SUPERCID, and my previous post has the HARDSPL.
At least the situation is improving, and your phone is starting to respond.
We'll get it working!
The HARDSPL you have to follow most of the "manual" installation instructions, and copy, then rename the "HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh" file.
Try to flash that file, and we'll see if we can get it going.
Cheers
i think my phone not yet HARDSPL ,can you guide me to do this ?
i search the web ,it show me to here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722" izit correct ?
and also superCiD:
1. Unrar RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe
2. Unrar RUU_Inside.exe
3. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer
or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
4. Rename HermesUnlocker_v3a.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the FAT32 formatted microSD card.
5. Insert microSD card on your phone
6. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
7. Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.

Attached is the HARDSPL file, already named "HERMIMG.nbh, which you just need to copy onto your SD-CARD.
When those are successful you will be able to flash any rom you want (provided it is as Hermes ROM)....
But as of right now, your phone is NOT bricked. It just currently has no ROM on it.
Have you tried to HARD-RESET your phone?
That's the two soft keys at the bottom of the phone, above the SEND and about the END keys.
Press and hold BOTH of those, then press the "RESET" button on the bottom of the phone. That'll hard-reset the phone.
I'm not saying to do that, just asking if you've tried that option yet.
Good luck, let me know how it's going.
Cheers!

Glad the problem was solved, and very happy to help!
Absolutely I can.
First thing is first, we have to SUPERCID unlock your phone, and we have to HARDSPL your phone.
Run the HARDSPL first, because the wizard will actually temporarily superCID your phone, so that you can install the HARDSPL, which will help prevent you from ever bricking your phone.
with your phone plugged in for activesync, you have to run the "autounlocker.bat" file in the SUPERCID. What this will do is make your phone accept other custom ROMS, whether it is from another carrier, or one of the ROMS that someone has developed on here.
After this, I would highly suggest, that if you ever flash your phone again with another ROM, do it the "SD-CARD" way. I'd only use the wizard to flash the HARDSPL and the SUPERCID.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers!
Hehe ,My friend ,i had flash my phone with WM6.5 rom ,my device was Dopod838pro ,it is old device ,for my opinion WM6.5 not so suitable for my device ,but WM6.5 look amazing >.<

Unfortunately, no, I don't. You'd have to get a Vanilla, or a "lite/ultralite" rom. That's about the best I can suggest, unfortunately with the hermes, it does have a smaller ROM size, and limited RAM compared to the new, more up-to-date modern phones, like the 8925(Kaiser), or the new Tilt 2..

I tried flashing the MrDSL's WM6.5 ROM to my Hermes. Of course I followed the direction, I have Hard SPL (ever since Schaps rom) and stripped ATT flashed first.
However when I started flashing this rom, when I reached about 5% on the progress bar, I keep on getting Error. I followed the Recovery Steps and luckily I get the Tri-color mode and the process says Recovery successful. I then proceeded with the flashing but still getting errors, then recovery, then continue, then error again. Its been 10th try now.
Finally I canceled the update but I can only get the tri-color screen. Tried to Softreset as well as Hardreset but no go....my screen only gives me the Tri-color mode.
Any advice please....
thank you very much...
EDIT.....
problem solved sorry for that post.
what I did was:
1. flashed again the stripped ATT ROM....success!
2. flashed again MrDSL's WM6.5 titanium ROM (titanium)....success!
Dopod 838 Pro working again!
thanks again!!!
Bootloader shows but phone won't flash
Hey everyone,
I'm not new to
flashing my Hermes.
I'm just having an
issue I've never ran
into and can't figure
out. I would
appreciate some
assistance.
The strangest thing
is happening to me
while attempting to
flash from my
storage card. I put
the phone in
bootloader mode
and it takes
(IPL-1.04 /
SPL-2.10.olipro).
Then on the bottom
Serial shows and it
never goes to the
next step and ask
me do I want to
flash the new image.
I put the att original
on the 2gb storage
card over and over
and over and
renamed it
HERMIMG.nbh over
and over and over
and just am
flabbergasted. The
phone is not bricked,
it just refuses to
flash again.
Does anyone here
have any solutions
or suggestions?
PS - I have
formatted the card
to fat32 and I have
checked it for errors.
The HERMIMG.nbh
file is on the root of
the storage card.
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

start with HSPL!!!

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..)

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)

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.

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

Hi there,
I have some problems, which I cant solve using your forum.
So Im posting this.
Yesterday my Leo shut down and I couldnt turn on it. Today I've trided Hard Reset, but nothing was made. i can turn my phone on with white screen only. So i decided to reinstal ROM. I'v set up the bootloader and start installing oryginal ROM for HTC. And the installation is going to 1 % and then the phone stops instalation and turns on with white screen only.
What an I doing wrong?
looking for original firmware for your phone on htc.com, using the S / N
I have the same problem !!!
I've tried original from htc site, still the same.
If its important, when I'm installing, on the instalation Window, where should be written the current wersion of my soft, there's norlng, just empty place.
maybe I should do something like formating my htc or instal something other than ROM?
thx for help!
you could try to flash with sspl. maybe you have installed the 3.14 rom and removed the hspl.

1.try task 29(find on xda) and after that installing HSPL3.
2.after this flash any rom (including stock but i wouldn't recommend newest as we don't have newest hspl and you'll be stuck with, or you will have very small ram(50mb) if you keep older one)
I can't run task 29 from bootloader, the same problem as with ROM, it stops on 0%.
maybe some advices how to run task 29 on bootloader, maybe im doind sth wrong?
I think we have the same problems,
aktiv sync dont work, bootloader modus works,
cant find any solution in the forums,
i have tried flashing from pc and from sd card, no success
what about couple of hard resets on boot(hold down volume buttons) and perhaps try another computer or USB cable-if your friend has one newer etc...
i know from the times i had Omnia that RUU can have probs with computer also.
And have a look at this could help..
i tried all of your tipps but nothing works.
Hspl 2 and 3 do not work.
Here my bootloader information:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
Please help!
Did you update your ROM or Radio version? I read that white screen occurs due to incompatible Radio version.
Anyways, I screwed up my OS today by installing 'Gaz Touch Tools' and on reboot my phone showed some file was missing.. nothing was working.. phone wasn't responding well. couldn't even connect via activesync.. Right now installing Official ROM using MicroSD card.
Update in progress..
RADIO_V2 - OK
RCUST - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
OS -
CONFIGDATA -
EXTROM -
^ as the progress bar increases, the blank spaces change to OK
What I did - Formatted the MicroSD using FAT32, extracted the RUU_signed.nbh from the exe downloaded from HTC website and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh and copied it on MicroSD card. Inserted card properly in device, started device by holding volume down button. Voila!
Update: Done installing, working fine!
Got the same problem with mine straight out if the box. SPL-1.42.0000
Charging light not working. Sometimes it goes in to bootloader when powering on and sometimes white screen with logo. I'm not impressed!
Hi, think I know a bit of what I'm doing, read all I could, etc.
W7 laptop, SD SD with HP format, RHOD100.
(Can get serial # from Nexus 7 with ADB install, can reflash WM from SD, etc)
USB cable to computer.
I can 'flash' (update image) new Android RHODIMG.NBH to phone, I get filled progress bar, and then Update Complete, UPDATE SUCCESS and phone will not cut off (stuck in bootloader?) I do manual reset button.
Then I can 3 finger reset (SEND, END, + ON) to get tri-color, and then VolUp option. (So far, this is just like WM reflash) I push VolUp.
Screen goes to "Restore... Waiting for completed" and unfilled progress bar - and that's it. At this point, other resets can get me tricolor with USB, white HTC with NO radio, version, etc, and this waiting screen.
(I can use same process and get right back to WM.)
Where is my error?
THANKS!!
You can't flash Android with USB. SD is the only way to flash the NBH for Android.
Do you see the blue boot loader screen?
(I've also got the image for android on SD, just not getting there...)
I never get a completely blue screen (get tri-color), I go exactly as far as I mentioned - 2nd progress bar with no progress.
Using these instructions and downloaded files... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566955 stuck at step 10 or 11 or so.

Did you unlock your phone?
Unlocked long ago, olinex or something similar. Been trying various roms for years with no problems, played with SD android for awhile, wanted to try NAND.
I have good SDK, etc, put image on SD, phone finds it, first loading bar looks great, reboot, second loading bar never starts.
Do you guys never see 2nd progress bar ("Restore... Waiting for completed") - is my fault before that? Is there a better set of instructions that what I'm using?

So you flash the NBH... and it's never flashed successfully? Not sure what you mean by "second progress bar"... there's only one when you flash the NBH via SD.
OK - now we're talking!
I definitely see a second progress bar that never starts under "restore, waiting for completed" on a whitish screen as above.
Is the RHODIMG.NBH from that instruction set the correct one?
I will try downloading again and moving to SD again in case of file fault.
THX for helping...

I guess I'm still not following.
Have you ever flashed via SD? The process is really quite simple. Just place the RHODIMG.nbh file at the root of the SD, and put the phone in bootloader mode. It should pickup the file and offer to start the flash.
Yes, and since I tried this I have also successfully flashed back to WM by SD, numerous times now.
I am not successful at flashing and then loading the small .nbh for Android
Am trying new download now...

So to get things straight, you downloaded this file and put it on the SD. Now when you load it, you won't be able to get it to load using the recovery. Recovery is for Windows original files only as far as I get that.
Instead you just press and hold the volume down button while powering on the device. After you see the tri-coloured screen you can let go. You will get prompted with a white screen. On this you'll see:
Now the rhodimg.nbh is detected and by pressing the power button you can flash it. (or press volume down to cancel and return to the tri-coloured screen) After it said OK/Succesfull you remove the battery or press the reset button, after this there's no further steps, you just let it power on and you get a BLUE screen with some white texts called the LK bootloader / minipooploader by [ACL]
Here's a short instruction video to explain what I typed.
Al - THX for joining in!
That's the file (only one I can find), I do exactly as described, but at "battery or press reset" I get a white HTC (like would have 4 files listed on WM) that cuts off after 4 seconds, a three button push gets me a reload with no progress.
I made films...
files on SD - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbK8aWh9378&feature=youtu.be
process - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Uq1dqtydE&feature=youtu.be
that show reset and 3 button reset (USB in here, same USB out) (Also, fresh solo Task 29 from RUU advanced...)
Any clues anyone?
(Could RHODIMG.NHB be bad on server?)
Not sure why you are doing a hard reset after you load the android NBH. Skip that.
Just let it load.
The instructions and post 11 above indicate reset.
I'm trying just leaving it at the Update Complete UPDATE SUCCESS progress bar now....
Nope - that just sits there after RHODIMG.nbh - OK, OS - , and UC/US,...

Just a regular reset, not a hard reset is what I think they are meaning. I have lost count of the number of times I have loaded android onto my device, and I have never ever done a hard reset after the initial nbh load.
When I load android on my rhod400 it always hangs at the update success screen from the initial nbh load. Try just popping out the battery (and putting it back in) and letting it boot normally after you see the update success screen from the android nbh. You should get to a blue boot loader screen.
That (simple on or reset button) after android.nbh success gets me:
a white screen with HTC (that would normally [WM] fill in with b,r,s,something - 4 ?file versions) for 4-6 seconds, and then off and blank. Battery yellow will cycle 80% on. Subsequent on times out (HTC white) and off as above.
Have you loaded recently with the current file?

Unless you're using some old file, yes I have flashed recently. Just flashed a TP2 the other day...

That's where you're getting all your NAND downloads from yes? Please ensure you have the newest stuff. This part is really the "easy" part. Just need to be SPL unlocked, then flash .nbh via SD. Seriously, that's the easy part... the hard part is getting your computer to recognize the phone in fastboot mode, and flash the recovery image - that's the step I always seem to have issues with.
This is an video from a Rhod 210, but it gives you a good idea what to expect. Useful info starts around 7:00.

Redid it all - exactly per video... fresh downloads. etc...
Where video shows carrier splash, then 4 circular buttons, and then blue with text, I get white HTC for 5-6 seconds and then off.
Just to be sure, since original thread evolved...
Mine is a RHOD100, SEA Roms work fine, SPL 0.85 olinex (AT&T freqs, they think it's a Tilt 2)
Seems it was only some phones early...
