Hi XDA people,
I am trying to resurect my old TP2 Rhod210 TMOUS USA
I would like to get android up and running.
I have read the NEW guide several times and also the OLD guide.
The issue I am having is at STEP 6: When the TRI-COLOR screen comes on it then flashes the white screen for only a second while trying to install the RHODIMG.NBH file. I had to try this several times in order to see what is says on the white screen.
It says "Loading image
No image found"
I have formatted the 4GB sd to fat32 using the HP tool I got direct from hp "FULL FORMAT"
I have downloaded the RHODIMG.NBH file from this thread and also tried the file from the old Instructions wiki.
Both files read 185kb file size.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on. Is there something I missed or are these files wrong/corrupt?
Thanks for any feedback.
Just for the sake of others:
I figured out the issue.
I was using a 4gb sd card, don't know why it wont work, but I found an old 2gb card and everything worked great! I followed the "New guide" without any issue!!

What version of Android did yo flash? I'm thinking of trying to flash Android on my TP2 as well. THanks!
I believe I used GBX_3.4.35_Full, make sure to use the latest recovery and update to the latest SPL.
W/O this you will have charging probs and may get stuck in boot loop. MAKE SURE you are fully charged before doing this and if need be charge again before making changes.

Hello all,
My XDA 1 has a fault I don't understand. When I hit the Power on button it comes on and stops at the O2 splash screen. It will not go beyond this point no matter what I try. The desktop does not recognise the device when I connect via USB. I have tried:
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset
3. booting up in bootloader and running all device tests (failed USB rx & Infrared rx)
4. In bootloader copying boot to SD and booting with that. (Unfortunately I do not currently have an SD card large enough to copy CE or GSM boot)
What I really need to know is if I can try to upgrade the device (to WM2003) anyway and if the upgrade will solve the problem I have now.
DEVICE DETAILS:
Device: O2 xda 1
Bootloader: 5.14
ROM: 4.01
Radio: 3.02
Any and all advice/help/replies most welcome. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I searched and couldn't find the info I needed.
Thanks,
Aide
It's a lost cause...
Device can't connect to activesync via serial or USB so I can't upgrade and see if that solves it. Don't have card reader to try SD method. The problem is as described in my first post above.
I don't know how this happened (I hadn't tried upgrading or any sort of flashing apart from unlocking the device a looooong time ago).
Any ideas as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Aide
Your ROM version is not known (at least for me ) ... are you sure it's not 4.01.00 ??
Anyway, regardless of the reason, the good news is that you still have the boot loader working, the bad new is that you MUST use the SD method since the ActiveSync doesn't recognize the device.
Thanks Bis,
Yes ROM is 4.01.00 (sorry if I confused anyone ). Problem is at a new level.
I got an XDA with a cracked screen (so it's almost impossible to use though everything works) and used that with XDAtools (thanks Jeff) to upgrade to xda-dev Special Rom 1.2.
I copied the ROM to the 32MB SD card (got and error message at the end) but still risked using it to try bootloader method on the 'hanging xda. It worked: kinda :?
It now boots and hangs at the xda-dev splash screen and no other changes to original problem. Was that error message I saw responsible or could something hardware related have happened?
Still waiting for relief...Help me please. Someone, anyone...

That's your problem - redo everything above - but using a 64MB SD Card or higher. The ROM files are just over 32MB. Even if your card said it was all there chances are it could have been corrupt.

Thanks JB,
Getting 128MB card in the morning, will let all know how it went.
Aide
PS: Noticed someone posted same initial problem under topic 'XDA 1 locked on O2 screen' in General forum with no solution posted. So if anyone is interested - watch this space!
Ahhhh... God is in his heaven and all is right with the world
Used 128MB card and it worked like a charm. One thing I noted though: After I used XDAtools to copy ROM to the SD card and put it in the device it would not boot from the card automatically. I assume the ROM update tool on the device checks to see if the current ROM and the one on the SD card are the same and ignores the SD card if they are. (By the way, could someone please confirm if this is so? Idle curiosity :wink: )
I had to use the tool on the device to write the ROM to SD from one device and then the other device (that had the hanging problem) finally read that copy.
Thanks all,
Aide
some boot loder versions doesn't recognize ROM file on SD cards ... ex: 5.22
Hi, I already read a lot in the forum and the wiki, but as my first try to update my rom went terribly wrong I tend to ask some pros for help
I got me a used XDA1, it worked fine and was a german O2 Model. Then I got the last Update from O2 (3.19) and updated it with success. Then I wanted to unlock it with your Special Edition Rom, downloaded it and tried to apply it just like the O2 one via active sync and progam A. Result was, that my xda got stuck, now I can only see the empty transfer bar on the xda and can´t connect to the xda with active sync anymore. Both resets won´t help to bring the xda back to live the silly bar comes back every time... I can still get into the bootloader, though. As far as I understand I can still get the thing working again with a SD-Card and a rom on it? Can someone pleasepleaseplease tell me which card to buy (I don´t have one jet...) and how to get a onto this card and where I can get this rom? I still have the Files this O2 exe unzipped onto my disk and theres a nice 31MB NK.nbf in the Program/German folder. I already found the description how to flash from a SD-card with the bootloader, I just don´t know where to find the right rom and how to put it on a card... And maybemaybe, could someone tell me the right way to get this O2 xda working with a D1 card without getting it stuck again???
Thanks a lot to all your answers, I really need this thing to work again, and still ask myself how I could try to update the rom without reading enough, seems I will cry into my pillow till it works again cause it´s the only cell I got at the moment
Download xdatools and install, choose the nbf file as source and your card reader/writer as destination, choose this from the drop down menu at the bottom. You will need a 64 meg minimum sd card, a card reader/writer, xdatools and the nbf file. Once xdatools has programmed the sd card you insert into xda, push reset while holding power, when prompted push the action key which is the centre of the 4 way rocker switch. You will find many roms in the the kitchen that is kindly run my lumpistefan. Make sure to choose sd card flashing at base of screen before cooking rom. Here is the link for the rom kitchen.
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
thanks a lot for the fast answer I got all the progs and the original 3.19 german o2 rom from rom kitchen. Now I´ll just have to get me a SD-Card... One more little question. I can´t turn the XDA off with the powerswitch and after reseting it also turns on automatically. I´ll have to wait till Monday to buy a SD-Card, so is there a way to get the thing off although it is still in transfermode or will I have to leave it on and in the cradle?
If you want it switched off completely, just poke once into the hole under the headphone socket, this will completely disconnect the battery, when you want it back on just push once again. Always do that procedure after flashing a rom also, push once then leave for on eminute, push once more to switch back on with new rom and noot sequence.
works fine, thanks
So, like the title says, I wish to upgrade my rom without the use of a sync cable (the one I have glitches). Bluetooth is probably out of the question, but I was thinking there might be a flash upgrade boot option of sorts, that'd allow me to upgrade through the use of an micro sd-card or so.
Any ideas?
(before you ask, I charge the battery with an external charger).
A lot of the phones are capable of upgrading from the rom image on the SD card - if you extract the nbh and rename it (I forget the name - search the hermes forum) and put it on a blank phone - you probably can do it that way. I've not tried it but it's likely to work!
Edit:
Here's the link to the procedure for the hermes:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
You probably have to name the image something other then HERMING.nbh - maybe STARIMG.nbh? Just a thought. Remember - I don't know for sure this will work - doing so might cause the world to implode but I suspect if it works, it works - otherwise it doesn't.
Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Just tried with STARIMG.nbh aswell as STAR100IMG.nbh in the root folder of a recently formatted sd-card, but no go. The text "searching sd-card" that flashed by right before I get the test screen does however indicate that it's a viable method for updating the ROM, so I'll keep going and try some other names for the ROM image.
If you figure out the name, please post so we know how to do it
I would also be very interested in this ... anyone figured out the correct filename yet?
On mine it's STARIMG.nbh.
The card needs to be formatted FAT32.
I've never tried SD card flashing with SoftSPL, but you would need SoftSPL to flash a non-OEM ROM.
Hi, I will describe your problem in a new topic, because I see that it is broader.
Well, on Friday I bought a HTC HD2 wgranym WM 7 Unfortunately, this system will not even suitable to use, so I decided to upload, and in fact you go back to WM 6.5. I found the forum two ways by dropping LEOIMG.nbh file directly to memory card and a second by installing ROM when connected to a PC.
I bought a memory card reader and format the card. I threw the downloaded file from here: Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites! Do not give it any more with this phone .... Charter installed a phone and pressing the handset, which is used to activate the phone and the VOL DOWN I switched to a mode. First there was a color screen with the specified data to HD2, but then came the white screen that says "loading ..." and nothing happened for an hour. Perhaps this file does not match my HD2, or he do not know.
The second method seemed to me an alternative and downloaded from the official HTC ROM, giving the serial number. Was surprised that it was a ROM for Norway. I do not know well past the phone, so I do not exclude the possibility that the phone is from Norway. I downloaded the ROM, I downloaded the ActiveSync. But I do not know why when you plug the phone activesync can not connect with them. He writes the message "The device was not detected. " I wanted to try and install without ActiveSync, but the installation failed.
I have no strength, like I'm doing everything ok, but I can not fix this for anything WM 7
Sorry for language errors, I used google translate to translate.
Any help thanks in advance.
okay first of all, if your using windows 7 then you dont need activesync. You need "Windows Media Device Centre"
Also, try turning on the phone whilst holding the volume down button. That should take you to bootloader. (3 colour screen).
You should see the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen.
Connect via USB and wait for the drivers to install.
The word "Serial" should then change to "USB".
Then you can flash a ROM via USB. If your phone is network branded then you will need to flash the correct ROM from the HTC site.

You need to take that official ROM, rename it from .exe to .zip, and extract the LEOIMG.nbh file. Place this file in the root directory of your SD card and then go into bootloader like before. This will flash the stock ROM onto your device. Make sure the SD card is fairly low capacity, 2 or 4 GB seems to work best, and formatted for fat32.
Good luck!

The easiest way to reflash is using SD Card method.
If you dont have HSPL installed, you should only use this SD Card method to flash the Correct Stock ROM.
Download your correct stock ROM (you must be sure about this, in order to avoid failure). Ectract the downloaded correct stock ROM using 7zip or Winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh and rename it to : leoimg.nbh. Place/copy that file to the root directory of your micro sd card (using card reader). For better result, before doing that, you may format your sd card to FAT 32, and copy only that file for flashing purposes only.
Now, put your sd card back to the phone. Go into bootloader mode (by pressing volume down and power on buttons at the same time). Follow the onscreen instruction. Dont forget, to charge your batter before flashing.
goodluck
Thank you all for your responses. I still have one request to you. The set did not get the CD with drivers for HD2. Has anyone can link to them? Thank you in advance.

The Windows Mobile Devive Center has the drivers for the HD2 in it. So when you download the program and install it to your computer you have the drivers. Go to microsoft.com/getstarted to get the WMDC program.
1. CWM installed
2. Vegan tab running
3. I was using my g tab reading PDF and then there is this pop up in the bottom of the screen that SD card invalid or something that you need to format, coz I just changed my SD Card2 from 2 to 8,thinking it was the sd card2 I pressed the format and it did mad I was able to used (review for midterm ) it untill 13% of the batt coz Im about to sleep so I charged it, thinking that everything is fine with the tablet. A day after I turni it on I just saw VEGAN tab flashing 2x then blank then flash again, thinking something goes wrong I go to recovery mode then press restore won't do it error something on the SD card. I thought my wife use it and asked her and said No I didn't. So I plugged it in the unit in Win7 PC and to my horror the g tab was formatted recognized as drive G>SD card 15.1
Now I search all forum regarding NVFlash,recovery and follow the instruction and seems like it doesn't go through.

Can anybody help me rebuild my G tab from scratch coz I can't get Viewsonic support all calls are drop.
Can someone kindly post the procedure in Lay Man's term. Thank you.
Never mind, got it fix, ^_^
How to fix it? I got same problem
just download the original unlock bootloader, rename the zip to update.zip. then apply SD2 card.Just like what you did in flashing it.
