[Q] In what order do I flash? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really don't wanna mess up my phone so I was wondering in what order am I supposed to flash the Radio and Rom after HSPL3? I have a T-mo HD2 with 2.08.hspl. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

it doesn't matter , once you HSPL then u could flash which ever steps u want to do first, rom or radio

This is the wrong section. Ask questtions IN uestion and answer.
It doesnnt really mater what order u flash. Read thw forums. My suggestion is to use task29 toflash the radio then flash the rom
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

It doesn't matter which u do first. I always do radio, task29, Rom, then hard reset (when I do a radio flash @ same time as Rom). I always flash from bootloader rather then winmo. Of course if you don't feel comfortable with this then don't do it.. I was nervous the first time (lol) too.. just take ur time it time read and understand the stickies

Thanks guys I appreciate all the help. I ended up finding this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477 and flashed from the SD card rather than the RUU (Was having error codes.) It's seems to be updating fine now.

Ok everything went fine I'm using Chuckydroid and I am at radio 2.12.50.02_2 but now Android isn't booting up :/. It's stuck at the black and white text screen after Haret is ran.

I have flashed a froyo rom to my HD2, i had to look several forums and youtube movies to exactly find out how its done. First update de hspl 2.08.hspl is right, i read you have got the right one. Than use MGLDR 111 or higher, install this. Make sure youre device is boot up with volume down, in bootloader menu choose usb flasher. Use the DAF file thats with the NAND en upgrade the phone. If you get a usb false than you havent got the right radio.

Uh Oh. Did I just trash my Titan?

I've been a long time lurker here and I just recently acquired an XV6800 (currently suffering with an i760). I have read the Titan Wiki (as well as countless other pages, and yes, I did search before asking) and I think I may have just made a mistake.
I had a stock 1.04 bootloader on it and following the directions I found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
I upgraded to the nueSPL 2.47 package. I used the SD card to do the upgrade. From what I can tell, the bootloader installed just fine. The program ran successfully and when I check my bootloader (camera-power-reset) it shows that 2.47 is installed.
What I neglected to do was read the "IMPORTANT" section first. (I know, I know...) My phone has a version 2.xx (stock) ROM on it, not 3.xx.
Did I just brick my phone, or is there something I should do to try and reverse changing the bootloader? Or, am I fine, and I don't really need to worry about this?
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Dustin
lol no your Phone is OK.. and this goes to ANYONE .. if your Phone boots
(to the bootloader 4 color screen) your Phone is ok .. just need to load
up the correct Radio or OS ROM / custom OS ROM..
ok DustinEarnhardt
to fix your issue .. I take it .. you just unlock your phone and loaded a GPS Radio?
if so all you need is to load a new OS ROM, put your Phone back in bootloader made ..
connect it to the computer .. when you see "USB" on the screen you are ready to load a new OS ROM ..
simple download any custom OS ROM you like then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
thats all you need to do.. unless you did not load the correct Radio .. then
you'll need to load up a new radio as well..
BTW the only time a Phone is "trash" is when you can't get in to SPL bootloader mode
BTW you can load a new Radio via Flash or USB ..
I made a little RUU for USB Radio flash .. but its very easy
via an mSD card .. just put the radio file with the name "TITAIMG.NBH"
on your mSD card and plug it in .. you can do the same
for OS ROMs as well..
Thank you for the quick response! This place is great!
To clarify, basically right now, I have a stock ROM and radio, with a 2.47 bootloader. I can get the 4 color bootloader screen no problem, and the phone boots normally to the stock OS ROM and operates.
My next step (again following the guide here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome ) is to upgrade the radio ROM to Titan Radio ROM 3.42.02. I'm basing this on the decision to use the dcd 3.2.6 kitchen. It was recommended here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=dcdtitanroms to use that Radio ROM. (Oh and I'm using dcd 3.2.6 because from everything I've read, its the most stable at the current writing.)
Hopefully there are no huge problems with what I'm about to do, but if there is, maybe someone can stop me before I try to do this later tonight.
yp thats about it..
Load up a new Radio .. I like "3.42.50" then load up any OS ROM you like..

May have bricked My HD2..NEED ADVICE

here is the thing from the start.
a friend of mine bought a HD2 from hong-kong.
after installing a cab file for hebrew support the device wont go up.
hard reset to the device didnt help.
so i thought i should hspl the device and then flash the new nrg rom.
after i did hspl from version 1.66 i made a ROM FLASH BEFORE RADIO FLASH.
anyways the NRG system refused to go up then i made radio upadte and tried flash again to NRG rom but the flash keep stucking in the middle every time.
i got stucked with the error cable code in bootloader menu.
flashed from sd the newest ROM 3.14.405.2 still nothing changed still with error and now without the HSPL.
is there anything else i missed?
JUST TRIED TASK29..afte 4% stopped with messege not allowed
Welcome to the dark side,I did the same thing,I followed someones advice and flashed the official 3.14 from the SD card,now I am stuck at the bootloader with SPL 3.03.
Lots of peaople here have become bummers asking for a new HSPL but the smart guys seem to be turning a deaf ear.
try to flash earlier official rom e.g 1.66 rom not from sd card but with the pc

Holy h*t...
Are you freaking crazy?
You MUST NOT flash a original ROM from SD card... That will overwrite the hardspl...
If you guys follow the RTFM tradition before do something you don't understand, then that would not happen...
Now you have to wait until a new hardspl is released...
Maybe you should do a task 28/29 and flash 3.14 with RUU.
Before you guys do another stupid thing... Don't try a "task 2a".
Maybe it don't brick your device, but it also will not help.

What kind of HD2 sells HK? Is it an ordinary 512MB one?
Is this an original HTC? I know the chinese people does not like originals, they like to sell their own not working but nearly original looking phones...
Look at this Touch Diamond
What happens if you install the latest HSPL (2.08)?
Is it possible to flash a new SPL (does not matter if original or not)

it is the orginal,he bought the phone with the wwe_asia 1.66 rom with english and chinese.
as i said tried to flash to 1.66 and again with new 3.16. but still getting not allowed.
task 28 55aa should format the device but some say its working only in case of hspl.
and since my phonw now got the 3.03 spl i guess its not possible.
correct me if im wrong but my only optios seems to be jtag which cost here in some labs about 150$...
Oh my god... What shoudl I do with you?...
I don't want to brick my HD2 to try something for you...
But... Did you know something about a "Goldcard" method?
If not I will help you to create one. On other phones the Goldcard allows to flash ROMs from another Provider... For example you have a Vodafone ROM and want a Stock HTC ROM... Normally this should not work. With a Goldcard it does...
Maybe you have an old microSD Card which we can use?!
Maybe we can also try to flash it with SSPL. Did you try this, too?
I never used SSPL, maybe it did not work in Bootloder mode, but we will se this when we try it

I know how it feel when the own phone is broken.
My first HD2 was overrun by a car... And it takes me 5 month to repair it, because I can't get a keypad ribbon...
And my second HD2 is not really broken... My girlfriend loaned it two weeks ago for one week. She still has is, because she like the Android OS on it and until now she won't give it back to me. Now I have to wait until my Desire HD arrives me
What should I say... Women...
But... PPP works very well for her operator (BASE) on Android, I've interruptions every 5 minutes and I can be lucky if I can reconnect after each disconnect
Back to topic...
@coneman23:
I'll hope you've flashed a 2.**.50 radio (for e.g. 2.12.50) not a 2.**.51.
I've noticed, that those radios do not work with some ROMs.
Crusoe86 redirected me here.
is there actually a way to fix this?
maybe with goldcard and official 1.48 rom?
Here I am...
You could try HSPL3 to revert back to an older SPL. Maybe that works...
And you can try older Stock ROMs like the 1.48 (from SD card (I use an old one when I flash my HD2, maybe thats is more compatible like newer SDHC cards)).
Andhopefully it replaces the new SPL.
But I would try the Goldcard method or try to boot SSPL from bootloader mode...
My girlfriend has my HD2 actually. I can't try anything

I dont know how to make a goldcard, so i cant make one.
I recommend that you try this (found in your thread).
If that does not work, we can make a Goldcard.
It is not very difficult, but this solution in your thread seems to be easier if it works.

[Q] Stuck at Tmobile stick together screen?

So i flashed the Speed N Boost ROM, installed the nbh. file, and when i reset my hd2, it just stay at the stick together screen. I can go into the boot loader screen, but that doesnt help. What did i do wrong, and please tell me how i can fix this!
did you flash the right radio as well?
Sadly, i dont think i did. Any way i still can?
yeah, if that is the problem then its just a case of flashing the right radio and she will boot up fine after that....
if you have a tmous leo then do not flash a radio with .51. in the name
im not familiar with that rom so I dont know which radio it needs....
Wait, so how can i flash the radio, if all i can do is go into bootloader?
wait man do u hav the hspl
yes, i have the hspl
ok now flash a 2.xx.50 radio (the xx stands for whatever number is between there) then go backto the bootloader screen and flash another rom and you should be fine
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AT24L7P6
that one good?
Come on guys, i really need your help! I need my phone first thing in the morning to wake me up. I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me the appropriate radio so i can just finally start this phone up all ready.
you need to check the thread for your rom to see which radio you need, then read the guide on how to flash a radio. its in the rom development stickie......
worst case, run task29, drop a stock rom on it. done! flash hspl tomorow and go for it again.

Need help downgrading to 1.42 SPL from 2.10 SPL

Phone's bootloader info:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
Also, I think I have the 1024 Leo, bought from T-Mobile with the Green/Red call/hangup buttons.
Can anyone help me with the downgrade?
From the official HSPL thread I read
"It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM
with this SPL version."
Can someone help a noob with this process? I've never flashed b4!
Also, my phone currently won't load and is stuck on the "stick together screen"
cakinlife,
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Out of curiosity, why do you want to downgrade to 1.42 SPL?
After reading some guides, I think I need to downgrade to 1.42 in order to install HSPL don't I?
After that, I want to install android.
EDITTTTT
Hold up, I just continued reading some other stuff and found out I don't need to downgrade.
Problem is my phone gets stuck on the "Stick Together" screen. How do I install HSPL if I can't get phone to load?
Any tips? Thanks

That's correct. With the most recent HSPL4, you can go direct to 2.08.HSPL or 3.03 (2.08 if you wanna go Android)

Has this phone ever booted up? Have you flashed something previously which caused this condition? Radio?
In any case, I'm assuming you can get into bootloader, so you can just try running HSPL4 on your computer with your HD2 in bootloader mode-- that should allow you to install HSPL, and you can see if this rectifies the loading problem and then go from there. Alternatively, you can try starting totally from scratch by installing an appropriate factory/shipped ROM (with proper radio) from the microSD card (see the flashing thread for instructions). If this brings your phone back to a working baseline, then:
1)Flash HSPL
2)Flash your desired custom WinMo ROM and
3)install Android ROM on SD​
**OR**2)Flash your desired NAND Android ROM (first taking care of incidentals like MAGLDR, etc-- as per Android flashing instructions)​

Thanks RDionysus, I really appreciate all the info.
I'm going to try and go straight to HSPL4 from the bootloader.
I've actually never tried to flash anything, it just all of a sudden stopped booting on me which brought me to wanting to mod it
Going to try your suggestions, tytyty!
Hope it works out. Let us know!
So far I've installed HSPL and flashed the "NRG Engergize rom"
I'm still getting stuck on the bootup, now its stuck on the "NRG Energize" logo instead of the "Stick Together" logo.
I feel like I need to go back to stock to get that working baseline. How do I go about this step?
Should I go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717
and download all the files under "Leo 1.48 ROMs" ?

NONONONO!!!
If you have a tmous the ONLY stock roms you can flash are tmous roms from T-Mobile.com or the tmous section here on xda.
Astock rom that is not tmous will destroy your phone.
This includes every rom in that thread.

I downloaded the upgrade "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1"

The official Tmobile rom is an .exe tho.
Its not the usual format .nbh

its actually an executable zip, not really a .exe.
If you rename the extension to .zip, it will open in whatever zip program you have installed, and you will see about 9 files inside, one of which is RUU_Signed.nbh, around 220meg size, its way the biggest file in there, you cant miss it,. , thats the rom(and radio and splash and spl), extract that and rename it, copy it to sd, and enter bootloader. The other files are the program that performs the flash over USB.
Thanks a mil, Im gonna try when i return from classes
So I reflashed the T-mobile rom with success however I still get stuck at the stick together screen even with a fresh install.
Anyone have any tips?
After reviewing the thread, I would consider a strong possibility that there is something wrong with the hardware. But before throwing in the towel, here's what I would try first:
REMOVE the SIM card and any SD card you have in the phone. Perform a hard reset. If you still get hung at the "stick together" screens then try...
RE-FLASH the stock (baseline) rom you obtained earlier, but this time first hook the phone up to your computer and perform a Task 29, then flash, and finally hard reset. Don't skip any steps, and leave out of the phone both your sim card and the microSD card (in case one of them are faulty). If, after the final hard-reset your phone manages to successfully boot up all the way, then insert the cards and see if everything is operational.
Good luck.

[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

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.

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.

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
