Hi guys I have a HD2 (obviously says you's) that is locked to only installing Vodafone roms. Im stuck on rom 1.72 as Vodafone havent released any newer ones nor are they intending too!
I wanted to install hspl and install the newest htc stock rom. 3.03?
But I am aware that there is no hspl available that will allow you to do this.
So my question is, what is the newest Rom I can install that HSPL can do and where would I get it?
Thank you for your help
Mark
You can only install a stock Rom from your device.
This means if you have a branded device; you can only install stock rom this branded device.
BUT;
You have two solutions:
- Using a custom rom.
- Using the GoldCard solution/technique. in this case you can install stock rom 3.14
i'd suggest going for a custom ROM...the possibilities are endless, check out the ROM Dev. forum and pick the one that suits u best.
Hi thanks for your help. I'm trying the goldcard version now but need a little help please. When it says
1. Download your 3.14 Stock ROM from HTC, Links you will find here:XDA 623283
2. Extract your Stock ROM (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_XXX_3.14.XXX_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.1 5 .50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe)
3. Copy RUU_signed.nbh to your Goldcard and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
(Use the “Explore” Feature of ActiveSync / MobileDeviceCenter)
What escatly does it mean? I have downloaded the rom which has a the name
"_HTCHD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship"
What do I do to this now to extract it? When I double click on it it just opens the programme. Could someone help me please.
Thank you
Its ok I worked out how to extract the file thanks. Hopefully it works now
Its still not working.
When I turn the phone off after following all the steps and hold volume down and press power button the bootloader screen laods but it doesnt load the LEOIMG.nbh.
At the bottom it just says 'Serial'.
What am I doing wrong? I have followed all the instructions
Just a morning Bump
You most probably must Format your SD Card,but from my bitter experiance I would consider the steps very carefully before flashing from an SD Card,I was lucky to bring my HD2 back to life after a day of bicking it.
I myself installed the HSPL tried out many custom ROMS but so far couldnt find one without a bug,one thing I noticed common with all of them:my WIFI suffered badly that was my main reason to go back to the stock ROM,which has good WIFI reception now as my laptop!!.
Even the new Stock 3.14 reception was not up to my current one.
This is just my experiance.

Hi I'm a nubie,
Could anyone tell me I added my 1st rom over the weekend which was succesful apart from the fact my orientation on the screen is not working.
I have been told to try a few more roms to see if this is the phone or the ROM (My feeling is that its the ROM) as it was working fine beforehand.
Can somebody tell me if I need to delete the old ROM 1st prior to installing the new modded ROM?
Also if I went back to my original 3uk factory ROM would I need to go through the Gold Card all over again?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Ray
not directly rom dev related, therefore moved to q&a
next time pls search first for solutions and only then post possibly rom related problems (orientation issue sounds like one) in the specific rom thread
best
you didn't even tell us what rom you are using, and yet you want a solution for your problem.
and what do you mean by "delete old rom", you cannot delete it once flashed to your phone.
Excuse me but I'm only new to this so my apologies. My details are as below.
Firmware is shown as 1.5 on my phone and the ROM I downgraded to was build number HTC 2.73.405.5, as I had to download my firmware I was told before I could up upload any ROMS which has proved succesful.
With regards to deleting my old ROM I presumed when I copied that over to my SD card it would stil be on my SD card when i uploaded a new one?
Regards Ray
Sorry, I also meant to ask do I complete the wipe option every time I upload a new ROM?
So AFTER you downgraded your ROM, you then installed a custom ROM yeah??? Or no?
What was the last one you "uploaded"?
Yes it is best to do a full wipe when switching ROMs. Sometimes when updating to a newer version of the same ROM it is not necessary to do a wipe but it will say in the notes of that ROM.
.... And you will only need your goldcard again if you install a ROM using one of the official RUU .exe files.
But if you want to go back to a branded 3uk ROM I'd suggest using the pre-rooted one from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero,.. No need for your goldcard then, and keeps the custom recovery console on so you can switch and change your ROMs.
Yes, I did put aHreo onto my phone but it wasnt working properly so I done a restore when I restarted my phone pressing home and menu using the installed software which in turn put it back to my downgraded HTC ROM version Build 2.73.405.5 (Hopefully I havent gone back to an official RUU as you describe). If so how would I know this? would it be when I try to update another unofficial ROM?
As it now has me worried !!!

Ray
Hi guys, hope you can help me.
I have a Hd2 and have flashed it with sspl and a custum rom etc. i managed this as the post in question gave a link to the flashing program, but the new version does not provide a link, so questions:
1) are flashing programs gneric? as in can i just replace the nbh file next to the flasher program and it will flash the new rom or is each flasher tied to the rom 9such as each one writes different data depending on the rom)
2) is the flashing program for a radio the same as the one for a rom? can i use a flasher program to flash a radio and the same one to flash a rom?
3) is the flasher for other HTC devices the same as the one for the HD2? i have an image file from a older HTC device, could i replace the nbh file in that with the one i want to flash and it works?
P.s. the rom i use is atemidis and i am interested in dutty`s new rom as the new artemdis has problems with things missing.

not sure, they may be, but why risk it since all(most)roms come with a customruu.exe anyway
2) is the flashing program for a radio the same as the one for a rom? can i use a flasher program to flash a radio and the same one to flash a rom?

yes, however you said you used sspl, , , sspl wont work for radios.

the nbh file is the actual ROM, if you flash a rom from a different phone, , well, just dont.

As far as I know they are, as in you should be able to use any of them to flash any ROM onto the HD2 (I've done this plenty of times, though alot of times I will use the one that comes with the ROM). Note that not all of them are the same as some will perform task29 before flashing the ROM or another trick.
Thanks for the help thus far.
You've confirmed what i thought.
I installed the new spl-2.08.HSPL, then installed the recomended radio.
I`ve then flashed the athedies v28 gen 2 but it wont boot into windows, it just hangs at the red/orange screen with the big windows logo where it says its setting up the today screen.
I gather that i can flash a new image as i have the hspl, but how do i go about doing this as i cannot get an activ sync connection in windows to launch the flasher.
I assume i can hold down the down key to get into the HSPL menu and then flash from there some how? does this mean i have to do a flash from the memory card?
I have managed to flash by holding down the down key and getting into the 3 colours screen and then i can flash from there, but the thing still hangs at the red/orange screen. think its the rom
I need to sent my hd2 to HTC for warranty purposes. I'm a newbie in this and i know how to uninstall hspl2. Just wondering about the radio rom, do i flash back to original radio rom first before uninstall hspl2 or can i just flash it straight using the microSd method. Thanks

Flashing the original stock ROM over SD will remove HSPL, will bring your radio on the version who is integrated in stock ROM and brings you back on stock settings.
So the only thing you need to do is flashing over SD
thanks alot!

1) Download the correct Stock ROM from the HTC Webpage by using your S/N. (you will get a RUU_Leo_xxx_x.XX.xxx.x_Radio_xx.xx.xx.xU_x.xx.xx.x_LEO_Ship file.)
2) Right click on the RUU_Leo_xxx_x.XX.xxx.x_Radio_xx.xx.xx.xU_x.xx.xx.x_LEO_Ship file and select extract with 7Zip/WinZip
3) Prepared your SD-card (use a 2 or 4GB SD no bigger) and format it by FAT32
4)Take the "RUU_signed.nbh" from it and copy it to SD card.
5) Rename the "RUU_signed.nbh" to "leoimg.nbh"
6) Reset the device while pressing the volume down button
7) Follow the instructions mention on your screen

Get start to give us some more device information.
- witch Rom version do you have now?
- Radio version?
- SPL/HSPL version?
i tried to flash the latest official HTC ROM: "HTC_HD2_5CRUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" to get shure its no ROM problem.
Radio i had on my HD2 was: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 witch worked well for the last 3 months!
HSPL is: 2.08HSPL
i also had to say that before that i flashed gingerbread on NAND. working fine (exept battery drain and the default known ROM problems
an there i had also a VOL (-) problem (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906881)
because of that i wanted to change back to WM.
and thats the state know!
i first thought my bad usb-connector causes flash problem (i found 2 bad made conntacts under the microscope), thats why i flashed wia SD now.

First of all remove your HSPL; HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible and create lot of issues/problems.
allready done (by flashing via SD) ?!
as written here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402
for me it looks like WM is missing a sound file or something like that, and thats why it permanetly switch down VOL.
because i get a "file missing" windows for a few ms, but there is no concret file name so i don't now really whats missing
is this possible?
i solved it!
I've got no idea why but its working!
I started the SD update process once more (the third time now
(nothing changed!)
what I've done is i waited after reboot till it locked it selves (screen black)
but i think that made no difference
probleme there again
once more bad news.......tomorrow mornig my HD2 is going crazy again :'(
actual state: my VOL(-) button isn't working.
so i think the real problem was my (know) defect VOL (-) button.
sometimes working sometimes not....
Hi everybody,
Well yesterday i figured out that i could update my rom.
I started to look the Arthemis thread to find out what's new.
I saw SSPL and the 3.14 rom.
I downloaded the 3.14 rom and i installed it.After that i took the SSPL and the Arthemis V42 Rom and tried to install it. No success.
After that i took the energy rom to install it and it works but i still have the 3.14 rom display instead of the energy rom.
So right now i'm a little bit stuck cause i don't know what to do
Here's my specs:
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
Systeme version : 5.2.21684 (21684.5.3.10)
Manila version : 2.5.20191914.0
Rom version: 09 November 2010 FRE
Radio Version: 2.12.50.02_2
Protocol Version : 15.40.50.07U
So i'm asking you guys a little help please to put energy or new arthemis back in my phone.
Thanks for your help
Ps: ( I need help on how to put my phone back to normal i'm a little confused about SSPL and the 3.14 rom :s )
run Task29
! Read Edit 2 down below first !
Well, you could try to run Task29. That will purge your ROM and leaves it nice and perfectly clean for another ROM without the risk of residua in the memory.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5848003&postcount=19
You will need to install a radio ROM after that, too. But having the memory wiped clean this way between installs is a good way to avoid trouble.
ThoroSOE
Edit 1: To reset your phone to normal (SPL, too) just download an original ROM and unpack the file with something like 7zip. Take the largest file (easy to spot) and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Copy that to your freshly formattet memory card and bring up your phone to the bootloader screen (power up with volume down pressed). It will then prompt to install the original ROM. This will overwrite HSPL and any ROM and Radio ROM you installed.
Edit 2: It could be that with ROM 3.14 the SPL is too new for HSPL! Mind that it just supports specific SPL versions! Check that! I think 3.14 has an 3.XX SPL version.
Before I could install HSPL properly I had to downgrade my ROM with an older original one to get the proper SPL (see Edit 1).
Thanks i try it now ill let you know.
Sir you don't need to look fare for your problem.
The problem is that stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL!!
And about Artemis ROM; I suggest you to take your time and read the "How to install?" At the Artemis ROM.
If you did it; you was ale to see you need to remove HSPL before install stock ROM 3.14!
thanks kurt-willems for answering me.
Can you tell me hat i need to do step by step please ?
I will really appreciate.
Thanks for help guys.

So after reading the entire post on how to flash arthemis rom i did all the steps but i am stuck at the step 7
7. Run SSPL_RUU.exe with Artemis v40 RUU_Signed_0409.nbh in the same folder - YOU HAVE TO BE ON HOME SCREEN, NOT BOOTLOADER (this took me 3 tries until succeded - yes - nerve wrecking, but works). If it doesn't work (hangs on black screen for more than 2min or stays at 0%) remove the battery and try again. If still doesn't work - try solutions in NOTE below.
I did all as it is explained in the thread my SSPL is good etc but when i launch SSPL + arthemis nbh, i got into the bootloader.
I tried like 5 times and i start to be angry.
So if you can help me it would be great.
Thanks
Ok i dont have nerves to do it again, can you guys just simply explain me how to uninstall SPL 3.03 and just install HSPL 2 and put a simple rom cause right now my phone don't work because of that.
Thanks you guys for reading me.
If you will install Artemis ROM I suggest you to use v42.0!
I/we know that flashing over SSPL isn't alway's easy (it will not start alway's)
but some important things to know is to deactivate your Anti-Virus; and creating a file with only the rom.nbh and SSPL_RUU in it nothing els!
(PS; Artemis ROM v42.0 starts better than previous v41.0 (own experience))
But if you will return to previous settings;
Reinstall a previous stock ROM ex 1.66 ore 1.47 (depending of you're aria)
Reinstall HSPL use HSPL3_RUN.exe fore this.
Thank you kurt willems for your time.
So after reading a lot of things , i did everything but im still stuck at the installation of the arthemis rom.
I got a message in the phone saying: This program is trying to acces to your phone etccc... Bootloader.exe. And if i say YES then the program launch bootloader and the installation fails. If i say NO then the program stops.
I'm downloading right now the version 42 of arthemis and i will give it a try.
If its doesnt working then i'll rollback to my previous rom.
Thanks again for your time.

I know this event sir, I have guide lot of users in this part. When you are on the bootlouder screen and at the bottom there is no mention of "usb" the installation will fail.
Its very important to be sure that your device is connect (control it in Active sync), Anti-Virus is turn off, the folder have only the rom.nbh and the SSPL_RUN (nothing more) in it, changing from USB port if you can.
And don't double click on SSPL_RUU fore run, but left click on it and select run ass administrator.
Lately I guide a other user on this and it have takes him 5 tray's
Ow, to be sure you have a good SSPL_RUU version takes mine: Download
Thanks but right now i just want one thing.. My phone to work.
I downloaded V42 and still the same problem.
I downloaded stock rom V1.93 from orange and i can't install it , don't ask me why.
So right now basically my phone is on the stock 3.14 rom and i don't know what to do to put an old rom and to flash to a energy rom with HSPL 3.
Seriously this all thing start to piss me off , no offence guys you making good stuff but sometimes its just to risky to flash.
I followed all the steps one by one and right now i got a useless phone in my hands.
I'm searching a way to get an old rom to be installed and desinstall SSPL.
If you can help me it would be great , im still searching.
You can flash a older stock ROM over SD.
Read my first post. There you can read how to reset to stock (Edit 1). Use an older stock ROM for a proper SPL that works with HSPL.
Install HSPL as instructed in the "how to flash everything" thread.
Run Task29 (see my first post)
Install Radio ROM with x.50.x in it from desktop via Active Sync (you need a Custom_RUU.nbh and the desired Radio ROM).
Install the main ROM you like, f.e. Energy ROM (that's what I use) normally from destop via Active Sync (Energy is one package that works like an official update).
Never had any problems with this way, never needed more than one try.
Hey ThoroSOE i rode Edit 1 and Edit 2.
I hope its not that much to ask but, could you give me a WWE rom like you said in Edit 1 to put it in the SD card ?
It would be really appreciated.
I'm downloading right now a official orange rom (1.66) but i tried installing the 1.43 and it didnt worked, thats why i'm asking you the question for a WWE rom to accomplish what u told me on Edit 1.
Thanks you guys for helping me.
Ok i'm trying this right now Edit 1: To reset your phone to normal (SPL, too) just download an original ROM and unpack the file with something like 7zip. Take the largest file (easy to spot) and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
With the 1.66 official rom.
I will let you know.
Ok so i tried to do what u told me on edit 1.
I enter in bootloader and what i get is a nice :
Loading ...
Then
00028002
Not Allow
Can someone can tell me how to uninstall SSPL >?

SSPL isn't install on your device! so there is no need to remove it.
Did you tray to install stock ROM over SD!?
Witch are your errors you get?
Hmmm. Installing an official ROM from SD card shouldn't be a problem. If you have a branded device you should install an official ROM that matches your provider and area. For later purposes like installing HSPL it doesn't matter how old it is - as long as it is not too NEW ;-)
That way of installing a ROM (via SD card) ist kind of the brute way. As long as you use a ROM matching your provider and/or area it should overwrite ANYTHING in your phone memory...
When I unsintalled HSPL for the first time that way my HD2 aborted the update in midprocess but restarted updating automatically. After that it went through without problems; I didn't have to do anything.
I used the official 1.66 ROM from the HTC support page (unlocked device).
IMPORTANT: Did you name the ROM file for the SD card LEOIMG.nbh - in all capital letters? As I understand it, the bootloader is case sensitive. So it must be LEOIMG and not leoimg. Also did you format your SD card properly? It must be FAT 32, 4092K - and better not be done with quick formatting.

Please guys help me out i really don't know what do to anymore..
I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.
Ok I sugest going back to the stock ROM for your HD2 as you can flash it via SD card anx make everything stock with ome flash. But if you want to go with a custom ROM I suvedt any oc the Energy ROMs they are great. You can flash either of the ROMs via SD card or just put your HD2 into bootloader and wait for Serial to change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then flash the ROM of your choice. If you flash via USB with official ROM it willnot revert your HSPL to SPL bit via SD card it will. Here is a link to tbe thread on how to flash via SD card.

Fist off make sure not to confuss putting your HD2 into bootloader and preforming a manual hard reset. To hard reset you have to power on and hold both volume down and up buttons down and the tricolored bootloader will appear for a brief secound but then another screen with instructions will appear. To put it into bootloader just power on holding down the volume down button and you will get tbe bootloader.
Flash the radio you want either before or after you flash the ROM. It really does not matter wich it will still preform it's function the same. I suggest radio version 2.15.50.14 as it is the latest radio version. You don't just have to flash another radio though if you don't want to. I say if you are not having problems with your current reception then your current radio should do fine. You can flash the radio tbe exact same way as the ROM using your SD card. Just rename the .nbh file for the radio to leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card. Or you can flash it via USB cable and your computer by using bootloader.
I checked out the link you posted. To download the zip file for the ROM you have to lick on the appropriate download link with the flag that applies to you. Let the page fully load when you go to the first page of the thread and look for the download button links toward the bottom of post #2. You will have two zip files to choose from I would say go with the largest of the two files as it will probably be the one with the start button at the bottom of the screen. I can not be certain of this though as I have a TMOUS HD2 and can not flash the ROM to check.
thanks for the reply, but i turned my phone to a brick yesterday before i read your post, turned out i didnt install HSLP (or something like that) which you need for installing new roms... immediately i went to a shop to get it fixed and luckily they had software that erased everything and installed original software
Glad you got your HD2 up and running again. I was wondering though if you checked to see if you could still get the bootloader to come up by holding down the volume down button down while powering on? Reason why I ask is you said.

I think when you flashed the custom ROM with out HSPL it ran a task 28(it is some debate wich is bett3er task 28 or task 29) before trying to flash the ROM which removed the current ROM from your HD2 leaving it ROM less. If your HD2 was truly bricked the place you brought it to would have had to disassemble your HD2 to get the main board out so they could use a JTAG on it. For that is the only way to revive a truly bricked HD2. So you see I am afraid you paid someone for something you could have done yourself. But the whole point was to get your HD2 up and running again so it is probably worth it to you. Peace
i've read what needed to be done in my sitation, and i ran into a big guide with some info about a program i needed to have fo 30 euro, it was then when i decided to go with the shop.
i had a RGB screen with some info on it, but i dont remember what it was, i'm just glad i got it fixed.
what free procedure have you had in mind?
Get HSPL back on it, Follow Energy ROM recomendations regarding radio version & get 23699 ROM Dinik from ROM repository.
With a few aditional registry tweaks this is one of the best performing ROMs put together.
My HD2 runs supurb on this ROM with over 40 aditional softwares loaded & used daily for work & leasure.
Simply blows a stock ROM away & makes Android only a SD card loaded plaything.

I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.

2 ways mate:
1. enter bootloader (press and hold volume down then briefly press power menu)
and flash a custom ROM
2. if you follow other peoples advice here of flashing a stock ROM via sdcard,
you will loose HSPL. or you can just flash a stock ROM via USB method and
keep HSPL on your device.
I personally recommend step 1.

What I was refering to in my other post is this. I feel like the shop probably just ran a task 29 (Google task 29 for HTC HD2) and then just flashed the stock ROM for your HD2 Wich can be downloaded for free from XDA, HTC.com, and probably your carriers website. These are all things you can do yourself. But like I said if the shop had to take your HD2 apart you did theright thing.
eh, i think they run the thing you said, so i am like 40$ lost on this... this solution should be easier to find, i searched google and xda for the problem i ran into, i typed different keywords, searched for an hour and found only some big guide with one of the steps requiring to buy a software for 20 euro. This forum should be better organized when it comes to HTC errors. Some screens and direct links to solutions.

Just an humble suggestion, users should read "stickies" before they do something to their device.
Almost all of guides, video, tutorial or references links are stickied at the beginning of the the forum/subforums
