[q] help with android to windows mobile - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

please can someone help, i have htc hd2 and its now on adroid 2.2 but it was a mistake i really want it bck to windows mobile 6.5 but theres nothing to explain how to do it, can someone please help, i hava tried doing through ruu, but it wont recognize my phone, not sure if its because of android but it doesnt work anymore just wont connect, please help someone

You "mistakenly" switched to android?
What android have you got on your phone, NAND or SD, if its Sd then you simply reboot phone. If its NAND you need to flash widnows back.
If you have HSPL then just put a windows rom on yoru card, rename it leo.img and then put phone into bootloader mode.
If you dont ahve HSPL then connect via USB and put phone into bootloader mode and run your flashing prog.

do task29 that contains blank .nbh. you must have hspl 2.08 first to run this then install any custom ROM through PC or your branded ROM through SD card it should work. i hope this helps.
here you go

iv bricket my device cingular 8525

hello every1, i am not very much into winmobile, i am symbian freak for a very long time.
in symbian there is no possibility to flash bricket device at home, ant that is spwcialy what i like at winmobile
i have htc cingular 8525 and it was running wm5.
rgbw string:
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HREM100
SPL-2.10.Olipro
and iv tryed to upgrade it to wm6. it stoped on 11% at image writing on ROM, and give me error 262. i remove battery, wait, plug back.... and it started to write again. and stoped on 11% again.
so iv changed pc(go to my friend), and same thing again.
iv even changed cable(from nokia 6120c hehehehe) nothing works
my ROM is deleted and i only have RGBW screen(bootloader)
is there any possibility to boot my device? form mmc???? anything? i am runing activesync 4.5.0
iv readed a lot of tuts, but ne1 helped me.
i hope that someone solved this problem.
thanx in advance

It sounds like your radio has been stuffed... This is BAD...
First, try to flash a stock carrier rom(preferably your original carrier rom) and see if it goes past the 10-15% mark. If not you can try to flash a Radio only rom.
The best way, since it reset into bootloader anyway & (good onya) you have Hard SPL installed, is to use the sd card method.
1. Format sd card fat32.
2. Copy the .nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh".
3. Put sd card in Hermes and reset. Follow prompts...
Make sure you have a charged battery as it is pretty battery draining (especially multiple flashes).
If you can't get the radio rom on, you can AT LEAST install a new OS only rom. It will be a good PDA BUT won't work as a phone anymore...
Good Luck...
thank you for reply.
my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever.
i was testing it wht plug-unplug usb, and it allways show me if it is serial or usb.... that means that system is functioning.
i try to bootup wht mmc fat, and it didnt work
tell me what files do i need to transfer to mmc? do i need to change name of RUU.....exe to stg else or just nbh thing?
and in what location on mmc should i save it? or just in mmc:\ (root)
and can i hack my radiorom after i setup system? or i need to do that before?
thanx again
btw i am poweruser of symbian, and i am proud owner of smallest s60v3 device (6120).
i found on it samsungs processor.... and i belive that it is similar as windows mobile. and we have a lot of troubles wht rom upgrading... is there any possibility to include you guys in symbian ROM moding? it would be gr8 bcs i didnt cee much skilled developers for windows XP in symbian freak community
btw some guy just told me that he has some java application which enabling write on ROM and if he say truth he will share it wht me.
he is pc/phone servicer, and he is really good as far as i know.
if this thing exists, is there any possibility to extract RUU from exe to pc and i would copy/paste every single file(wht some changes) as i want to do to my nokia hehehehehehehe
wook
"my device do not reboot in bootloader. it stays there. only that RGBW screen for ever." - THIS IS BOOTLOADER...
On the screen it should say what IPL and SPL you have, What are they?
2. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh file of the os/radio rom you want load Hermes onto sd card and rename to "Hermimg.nbh". You can use a radio only rom or a stock carrier rom - after flashing carrier rom and if the radio rom is restored then flash radio of your choice.
As for running windows on a symbian phone, I don't really know but I'd think that it wouldn't work as the symbian os may have hard wired drivers in the device. You'd have to ask some-one else in the know....
Cheers....
ultramag, iv posted spl and ipl version in 1st post
btw i didnt think abt runing winmob on symbian device, i was thinking of making RUU for symbian.
while RUU is rar file, we could make one for symbian, and bricket phones wouldnt be needed to send to service. btw we could then deit rom and remove platsecurity and make symbiansigned useless. then wount be any need for ROMpatching...(it pach ram actualy) all we need is drivers for symbian device and that we dont have
bt smthing will come i am working on clocking my 6120c and so far no sucess
btw, thank you for help, i am going to load mmc tonight (16:42 here)
ultramag69 thank you my friend for suport. iv successifuly get up my system
heheheehehehehe
btw i dont have imei info and Radio Rom version
i think that i should use CID and SIM unlocker?
As I said on the 2nd post, Your radio rom may be stuffed. This could mean its an unfixable brick. You can use the PDA functions BUT you may not be able to restore the Phone functions.
Using the sd card method though, you can try to install a radio only rom (this only tries to install the radio, the OS you have on there will remain the same so even if the radio rom install is unsuccessful you can still use the PDA functions).
You should also try to install a carrier stock rom (rom supplied by your original carrier) as this , on rare occasions, has restored the radio rom.
Good luck in your Endeavour..
Cheers...
i will try to run radioROM.cab from mmc. seems like stg is wron wht my usb cable. it cant get synced wht pc....?
i will veawe its hardware and check "all" tngs from usb to rom and to flash, at least till crystalls
btw this platiform is awsome
wht resco i can edit rom files??? whd i am amased
i just need paint and hex editor
and ill make anything
btw is there any dll exe... decompilers??? and i need to check is there python for wm6
and then ill be able to write my own programs
thanx bro again
You have bricked hardware radio - flashing radio rom wouldn't work. Send it to good service and probably they will repair it.
hmmm, i would sen it right now, but there is no service around...., and i am better in hardware and software more than 75% local servicists....ill gess tht ill figure stg
ppl, i am wondering:
why memory card is displayed in "device:\" as folder? as far as i know it is a disk(fat32) and why i have extended_ROM and option to remove it?
why i cand access to orginal ROM drive? and why winm0b is playing wht virtual drives?
offtopic:
does any1 has experience wht pythonCE? and if there is ziped command samples for pythons compiled library? i would like to get it
Thank you

It is not clear if you fixed your phone.
It does not sound like you have followed ultramag69 instructions very well. Probably because Englsih is not your first tongue and you have little knowledge of PPC.
You need to download a Radio ROM here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Then follow the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
A few points that you need to understand. Resco can not edit ROM files. Your Hermes does not use a MMC card it uses MicroSD. If you are connected to ActiveSync then your Storage Card shows up as a folder; that's just the way it is! Pretty much all your other questions are answered in the WIKI here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

[Q] ROM installation hooked up my phone

OK, so I tried to install nand android on my htc hd2 and firstly I installed hspl 3 on it then as instructions said I updated ROM version to MAGLDR ... And now phone is frozen right after I turn it on it only shows me O2 welcome message. Please don't tell me that it is coz the phone is locked to o2 network because there r so many threads and no one mentioned that u can't install android if the phone is locked or I missed something SO any help pls? I am freaking out that my phone is dead.
RAM 512
ALso:
When I press a red button near the sim card while holding volume down and it shows 3 colour screen and connect it to the pc , pc does make a sound as phone was recognised but it doesnt come up with any windows or anything that I could see that phone is there.. Is there any way I can install old rom or smthing to get my poor phone back, please help me, I am not experienced in this at all and first attempt failed
Put the phone into BootLoader mode. At the bottom of the screen you will see 'Serial'. Now plug it into your computer and the 'Serial' changes to 'USB' - you have made a good connection to the computer. The computer doesn't recognise it as a phone, because the phone firmware has not been booted up, so don't wory about it.
Run the O2 ROM form the computer. One of the conditions is that you have made an ActiveSync connection, just tick the box and proceed.
Once the ROM has flashed, it is advised to do a hard reset, but I have never had a problem not doing it.
Now you are back to the begining.
You are getting a little mixed up between Operator (SIM) Locked and Firmware Locked. They are independant of each other. You can SIM unlock your phone, which means you can use any telecom's SIM card in your phone even though the phone boots up with an O2 logo. You can unlock the firmware (HSPL) so that you can use the stock HTC ROM (not the 3.14 version) or one of the excellant custom ROMs, now the phone won't show any of the O2 stuff but you are still limited to using O2 SIM cards.
Now you have to Run HSPL2 and select the SPL 2.08.HSPL. Since you want to run Android NAND you have to flash a .50 RADIO - try the 2.15.50.14 RADIO.
I would have a real good read * HERE *. And if you want to go ahead, the read it again.

[q] help please! By flashing hspl

Hy!
I did a stupid thing, with the following. I copyed an LEOIMG.nbh file to my formatted sd card, so I get an SPL-1.42.0000, but I can't flash any HSPL to my device, because the HSPL setup writes out USB connection error. Neighter can I flash for example the official 1.66 rom, the installation stops after 1%, and writes INVALID VENDER ID. What can I do?
Very siple but you need lots of time for it. The rom you flashe has spl 3.03 on it and so it doesn't allow you to flash any other spl on it. What you can do is you have to search for old stock roms in the native language of your phone. As long as the phone keeps giving you error when trying to flash a stockrom with you sd card, it means you have not yet gotten the right stockrom for you phone so you have to try with different old stockroms till you get the right one.
After that. you'll be able to flash whatever you like. Hope it helps.
But remember, you need time and patience.

You can also download HSPL 4 and use it to downgrade your SPL. To do this manualy put your HD2 into bootloader by holding the volume down button and pressing the power(end) butom momentarily. Once in bootloader connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable wait until you see USB in the white bar of thd bootloader and run the HSPL 4 on your computer. It will ask you which SPL or HSPL you wish go flash select the proper SPL version to flash to your HD2 and you should be good to go. Hint the SPL version will have zeros at the end of them and the HSPL version will not. Example SPL 2.08.0000 HSPL 2.08. Hope this helps.

I have tried that, but after a few minutes - when it tries connect to the device - the HSPL setup writes out an error message;

Error code: 00000002
Description: USB Connect failed!
but i don't know why, because during the installationvI see USB in the white bar of the bootloader - the device manager on the notebook shows the connection too. :S

Try the above post by silverwind and try another USB port, another computer, and another cable if you have too. Something just does not sound right about this. I am looking at this.

Hi. I have the same pronblem. I have a UK HD2 that was originally on Tmobile. I flashed 2.08HSPL using HSPL4 & upgraded the ROM to the standard WWE_3.14. A long story short... after playing around with SD Android & a few other utilities I wanted to make a clean start, so my plan was to use HSPL4 to remove the HSPL before then re-installing it & reflashing the ROM. Unfortunately I now seem to be stuck in SPL2.08.0000. HSPL4 just gives the same error:
CRITICAL ERROR
Flow:00000001
Error code: 00000002
Description: USB Connect failed!
I have also tried flashing a stock ROM via SD (renamed leoimg.nbh), but I can't get passed the bootloader displaying 'serial'.
Any ideas?

Did you place the leoimg.nbh on the root of your SD card? Also was tbe dile you renamed originaly named RUU_signed.nbh?

Yes on both counts... I've even tried a complete 'long' reformat of the SD card first using the Panasonic SD Formatter, before putting the leoimg.nbh at the root.
I'm guessing that my stupid mistake is downgrading to SPL2.08.0000 whilst having a generic version of the 3.14 ROM installed. I guess I should have downgraded the ROM to an original Tmobile one first...
Could i ask what operating system you guys are using cos this problem could have less to do with the phone than it has to do with the operating system on the pc. I was trying to flash some roms on some old devices using Windows 7 but this didn't seem to work but it magically worked when i used Windows xp. I hope this works.
About the wrong Vendor problem, this just means the rom flashed is not recognized by the phone as the official one, i also had that problem and after flashing a official rom in the language of my phone, the problem was solved. I used the 1.66 rom so that i could flash hspl or else it might be impossible to do so.
Or as someone suggested you might try the hspl4 (never knew that existed) but try using Windows xp and if the problem persists try reinstalling your operating system (on your pc). I know it a lot of work but its just to rule out that the problem is from the pc.
Another thing i want to make sure of is if the phone is working normally with the rom on it or is there no rom at all?

Hi. Thanks for the input. The problem is getting even more frustrating! I've tried buying a new 4GB micro SD card (both are class 4). I have tried both TMO_UK_1.72 & TMO_UK_1.43. Both ROMs were downloaded from HTC using the correct phone's serial, so they should be the correct ones.
With the original SD card I can't get passed the bootloader screen & it just stays in 'serial' mode. With the new SD card it moves on to 'loading...', but then just hangs. I haven't yet seen the word 'searching' as described in the [TUT] Flash your ROM / Radio via microSD.
To clarify, the phone boots fine with the installed 3.14 ROM, but I can't get away from SPL 2.08.0000 or flash any other ROM.

Ok here is a couple of options for you. One go to www.t-mobile.com if you have a T-Mobile HD2 and type HTC HD2 upgrade in the search box on the home screen of the website and you will find the official T-Mobile 3.14 ROM. You will have to enter your IMEI number under your battery to download it. Download this ROM and then follow the steps to flash it via SD card, hint you will have to rename the original .exe file to .zip to gain access to the .nbh file. Also you can download and run HSPL 4 on your HD2 and select SPL 3.03.0000 but the official ROM will change it to SPL 3.10.0000 if you flash via SD card
Its a common problem i think if you are trying to flash a rom via sd card with a sd card higher than class two. Many here have encountered such problems.
According to your description, it will seem that it is as i suspected, the pc doesn't seem to recognize the phone and this could mean you have a defect usb cable or the useport itself is not funtioning properly. Try holding the phone in your hand with the usb in and support the usb with your hand to make sure the usb is indeed in the phone and see what happens. My usb cable is a little bit loose so when i want to flash anything, i use my hand to support it or i place my phone on a smoot surface and make sure the usb cable is in it.

Ok do to some recent personal experience and some other members problem of late. I suggest both of you do this go to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the most recent version of WMDC wich has updated drivers in it that seems to solve somd problems with flashing via USB especially if you are using a 64 bit system. Just so both of you know unless your HD2 shows up as "HTC USB Sync" in the device manager while connected via USB while in bootlaoder you do not have the correct drivers installed and any flash will fail.
T-Macgnolia & Abdul9: Thanks for that, however mine is a UK Tmobile HD2 & the .com site is only for US ones (it doesn't recognise UK IMEI's). If I go via the UK site it just links me to the HTC update site for the RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship (& also the 1.72 & 1.43 versions. I have tried all of these via both SD card & via USB. I have also tried HSPL4, HSPL3 & HSPL2. All options have failed. I have tried from Win XP Pro & Win 7 Ultimate (both 32bit) with two different USB leads. I have also tried a 3rd SD card (which ends up stalling at the 'loading' screen. The phone flashed fine prior to removing 2.08HSPL with HSPL4.
I think that the problem is not the SD card or the USB lead, but is the problem that I've now got a Tmobile (UK) phone with spl 2.08 & a WWE_3.14 ROM installed - this should obviously not normally be possible. I can't flash back to HSPL & I can't downgrade to any other ROM.
Does anyone have any idea how I can 'fool' the phone into letting me change the ROM?
I've been reading about Task29, but it says don't do this unless you have HSPL (which I can't get!). I don't want to brick the phone (because it still runs!), but I want HSPL back otherwise I can't reinstall Android on SD.
Furthermore, I don't think this is a USB driver issue, as it flashed fine before & it's occurring across different PC's & operating systems.
It's an incompatibility between a branded Tmobile with SPL & a WWE HTC ROM... I just need to get out of the loop I'm stuck in!
Hey Chameleon I know you don't think it is a problem with the drivers cause it was flashing fine before. But what I do not think you have taken into account is that you came from a older ROM and you had the right drivers to work with that ROM or the update for that ROM. But you now have a 3.14 ROM and this is a newer ROM that probably requires different drivers. I mean Microsoft did not create a new WMDC with updated drivers if it was not needed for the 3.14 ROMs as they are the most recent official ROM versions. Microsoft is the one that comes out with the new ROM versions too, the carriers just add their bloatware to them. Do you see my train of thought here? Also make sure you are usinv SD card that is 500MBPS to 8GB that is formated with Fat 32.

WOW! I've got the problem sorted! This can't be a coincidence... I haven't done anything different to my PC, but I got an 'unlock' code through for my phone this morning (£5.99 on Ebay) & it worked fine. I though "why not" & tried HSPL4 again. With no other changes it worked absolutely fine this time & I now have 2.08HSPL installed.
Presumably by unlocking my my phone from Tmobile it has also removed the 'you're using the incorrect ROM' problem.
Thanks for everyones input on this. I maintain that XDA-Developers is one of the best Forums around (not just within the mobile phone arena).

HTC HD2 Tmobile US

I got one of these, he came with android when i buy it, so i change to windows phone beacuse the battery was draining fast.
I install windows phone 7 with magdlr help, but i want to try others rom from 6.5 artemis or the bsb best but i try to install with magdlr and didn't work. I read i find out that i need something call hspl or spl, i try to install but i need version 1.43 at least i dont't have it. I try to install another that game a version of spl updated but mgdlr dont accept me the others rom to update the spl to 1.43.
And i put the phone in normal mode with the usb my windows 7 64 bits don't detect the phone missing drivers i guess but i already install drvupdate-amd64 i don't know why he doesn't recognize it. While mgdrl mode and recovery (green, red etc lines) he did recognize it.
What i can do??? I very new i been reading but this spl and drivers isues stop me
You cannot flash Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs with MAGLDR.
On your PC, you should install Windows Mobile Device Center to get the correct USB drivers. Then, you should flash first the official TMOUS ROM to delete what´s on your device, re-flash HSPL (using HSPL3 or HSPL4) and then the custom ROM you want.
This way, old stuff incl. MAGLDR any maybe a wrong Radio ROM will be gone.
For all you need to do, please check the stickies in the ROM thread (how to flash your first custom ROM etc.).

Man. You are lucky all those flashing with MAGLDR didnt really screw your phone for good.
Here is an eye-opener and best method in my opinion you shud follow.
1- Find the original ROM for your HD2 (This is easy using your serial number located under the battery). Google for T-Mobile ROM update and eventually you will be in T-Mobile Update site.
2- No luck in step 1? No Problem. Just read the sticky on how to install HSPL 2.08 by Cotulla. Then install the radio version 2.15.50.14.
DONT FLASH ANY RADIO WITH THE VERSION 2.15.5X.14 (X being equal to any number) In plain ENGLISH...dont flash a RADIO with 51. Only flash with 50 for TMO HD2
3. Now reboot your device in Bootloader mode and install any Windows ROM you want. Just steer clear of MAGLDR and flashing until you have proper knowledge and patience. Else you might end up with a dead HD2
I try to download the official rom and i found an uk version
But before this i have one problem the usb driver, i already install them with windows mobile device center too and still my pc dont detect the phone, is missing two drivers, two unknow devices.

You could seriously damage and brick your phone flashing a non-US ROM onto your device. Why didn´t you check the ROM threads more carefully? Or the hint the previous poster gave you?
Maybe the fact you don´t get the driver thingy right saved your HD2.
And also, did you try flashing from the normal bootloader then? Another option would be to use the SD card method.
But then again, this would require some reading from your side. If you don´t like reading, you shouldn´t start flashing.
I have benn reading i try to install in bootloader but everytime i try thrown me a error and the the phone do a restart.
My spl version now is nspl 0.96.2250.0, so i cannot install hspl because at least i need the 1.42 version, i cannot install rom from normal mode, the only way i got is bootloader (assuming that doesn't keep popup that error) and magdlr.
Did you know how can i get a official rom that come with a higher spl version and be exceted from booloader or magdlr??

Where from did you get the bootloader version information? As far as I remember, that is the version which comes from WP7. Strange, somehow.
Original Windows Mobile ROMs cannot be flashed via MAGLDR at all.
You must enter the standard bootloader, which is loaded *before* MAGLDR.
To do this, turn off your device, turn it back on pushing vol. down and power on at the same time - * and keep them pushed* until you see the multicolor bootloader screen. In this screen, you should be able to read what SPL version is on your device.
I do again recommend to flash an original ROM via SD card method (using a 2GB, FAT32 formatted card), please check here for the how-to. The ROM should be available here (be careful not to flash a test ROM, but a stock ROM!).
I succeded, i have to do it throw sd card method, and install the RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.07.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27_2_Test rom.
Now i have spl 2.07 installed, i will proceed to install hspl 4 i guess, to flash roms
Thanks man

[Q] Is there a way to active sync from bootloader on hd2? or am i screwed!!!

my hd2 gets stuck at the stick together screen and i can only go to the bootload screen. I flashed spl 3.03. hspl... anyway when i connect to the pc i get the usb in the white but it dosent auto sync!!!! it all happened when while trying to flash magdlr
is there any anything i can do????!!!
First of all, congratulations to your first post.
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center require a functional OS on your HD2, bootloader is none.
If you want to sync your contacts and so on, I'm afraid you can't.
You can try to install a STOCK ROM with SD card method and start again, but you will loose all your data.
