[TUT] Flashing your First GSM USA 1024LEO ONLY!! (For Noobs)

This Guide is only for T-Mobile USA HD2 with 1024 Mbytes ROM (1024LEO)
The ModelID for this version of HD2 is PB811200
If you have a LEO with 512MB ROM then please use *THIS* guide.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE POSTING.
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLING HARDSPL OR FLASHING A ROM/RADIO. IF YOU FLASH AN INCOMPATABLE ROM OR RADIO ON THE 1024LEO THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!
Before starting, backup anything you might want to keep after the new Rom has been flashed as all contacts, emails, texts, notes, Internet BookMarks WILL be lost!!
PimBackup is good and free (copy any mms attachments to your storage card or computer seperately)
*ONCE YOU HAVE FLASHED A HARDSPL ITS PERMANENT. YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN WHEN FLASHING NEW ROMS OR RADIOS*
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the Screensaver activate*
Any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone
*FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS OR RADIOS*
1. YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING EACH STAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. FLASH HARDSPL (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)
The Original HardSPL Thread is *HERE*
NOTE: If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first
NOTE: Turn OFF any AntiVirus Program first as it WILL interefere with the flash (there is NO harmful code in the program)
Installing HardSPL4 via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to Bepe)
Note: HardSPL CANNOT be installed via microSD Card.
IMPORTANT: To install/uninstall this HSPL4 there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.0000, SPL 3.03.000
To Uninstall you can flash a Stock ROM via SD card or use HSPL3 application (You need select 2.08.0000 or 3.03.0000 in the choose screen)
1. Download HardSPL4 package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable
3. Run HSPL4.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully
4. When finished reading click next in the HardSPL program
5. The program will now check the usb connection and enter bootloader screen (tri colour)
*You can select between 2.08.HSPL 2.08.0000 HSPL3.03.0000 or 3.03.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*
Android / WP7 / MAGLDR don't support HSPL3.03/OSPL3.03.
You need HSPL2.08 to run Android / WP7 / MAGLDR
6. Select 2.08.HSPL OR 3.03HSPL for HardSPL and click NEXT.
7. Your choice will be flashed to your phone.
8. When its finished the phone will reboot.
9. Click ok to terminate program.
10. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.
NOTE: You can also install HARDSPL by entering Bootloader mode manually, then running the HSPL4.exe program once you see 'USB' at the bottom of the tri-colour screen.
*Go into BootLoader Mode (turn off phone, then press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear). Verify the screen shows the SPL or HardSPL you installed*
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
3. DOWNLOAD AND FLASH YOUR PREFERED ROM
IMPORTANT: DO NOT flash any Rom unless it states in the 1st post that its compatable with the 1024LEO or the chef confirms its safe to flash on a 1024LEO. If you flash a Rom with a Base version before 2.08 then you will most likely brick your phone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!
NOTE: Check the Roms Thread for any specific Flashing instructions. If there arent any then you can use the following guide.
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!! (this is a precautionary measure and is not compulsory)
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
4a. If your Rom is a .exe (customRUU.exe is already included in the Rom file) then run the file
4b. If your Rom is a .nbh file then run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards
7. Perform a Hard Reset to clear any leftover data from your previous Rom (see intructions at bottom).
8. Set up phone as required and job done.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
4. FLASH PREFERED RADIO (OPTIONAL)
IMPORTANT: Do not flash ANY Radio before 2.07.x or the 2.09.51.03 Radio or you could damage your phone!!
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Radio you flash is FULLY compatable with the US HD2 before flashing.
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your required Radio and rename the extracted file to RUU_Signed.nbh
2. Sync your phone with the PC
3. Run CustomRUU.exe from the Radio's Folder and follow the instructions (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
Flashing via MicroSD Card
Use same method as Flashing a Rom via MicroSD Card
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
5. JOB DONE. Well Done YOU DID IT!!
Useful Information
How to get into your Bootloader
1. Turn your phone off
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear.
3. To exit Bootloader you need to remove your back cover and pull the battery out for a few seconds, then replace it and press the power button to reboot your phone.
How to perform a HardReset
Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Make sure you back up all your data such as Contacts, Appointments, messages etc or they will be gone forever.

FAQ's
1. What is Rom Flashing?
A Rom is basically an operating system for your phone. A Custom/Cooked Rom is a Stock/Shipped Rom that has been stripped of clutter and tweaked to give the best performance. Custom Roms usually contain the latest updates and programs so are more stable and up to date and work better than stock roms that are supplied with your phone.
2. What is the difference between SPL and HardSPL?
The SPL (Secondary Program Loader) is mainly a bootloader which allows a ROM to be flashed onto your device. The SPL does more than just load and boot the ROM it sets various flags which can control the operation of the OS on the device. It also controls some operations between the OS and the device's hardware. SPLs come paired with shipped (or leaked) official ROMs and are meant to match the ROMs operation. Therefore, with each new ROM release there is likely to be a new SPL.
A Hard SPL is one that is permanently flashed in your device memory and will boot up every time your device boots. The SPL that is shipped with your device, or upgraded from an official ROM is a Hard SPL. In short, if it is loaded into your device's firmware, and survives a hard-reset it is considered Hard. Therefore HardSPL2 is a shipped SPL that has been patched to allow flashing of any Rom or Radio (custom or shipped) as long as its compatable with your device and it will withstand a Hard Reset so is permanent unless overwritten by a different SPL.

HSPL2 1024 version
I was able to get the HSPL2 1024 version on my TMO Leo no problem. I just followed the directions.

Awesome Guide mate ! Gonna try it with my T-mobile HD2...
cheers !

well done!!
wait for download link to work

I'm waiting too, I'm gonna buy a TMOUS HD2 as soong as I get to US this march 31st. And I wish that I had it before this day since I'm not gonna be with the TMOUS rom for long.
Thanks for the procedures, it is almost the same as every other phone, BUT, I didn't knew about the roms that couldn't be installed.
Nice work.

wait so where is the hardspl?

I found a link for HSPL2 1024 and it worked fine for me -mind you -it is my first time flashing a phone ever! ...worked fine without problems...
I think people just need to pay attention to the compatibility of the ROM/Radio that they are flashing...
I agree that there should be a very clear distinction in Roms/Radios which state if it is 1024/TMOUS compatible or not... I found a rom which said it was tmous compatible and it all worked fine...maybe HSPL2 1024 should be able to detect whether it is a 1024 compatible rom/radio or not ?(and then should mention it and make sure the user wants that rom/radio) ? IDK -I am a newb here so sorry if that is stupid? ....

From what I read..

Not available yet. Working some kinks out I believe.

It isnt ready just yet. Hopefully, the hardspl should be available soon...the original needed some fine tuning.

Does this void my warranty?
If so can i just flash back to stock, so i can get my warranty back?
Thanks.

Yes and yes. It does give you the ability to flash back to original SPL with this application as well. Very simple to use.

Its a very good idea in theory but sadly its not possible. 1024LEO users are just going to have to be very careful what they flash.
Im moving this post over to the 1024LEO flashing thread.
Mark.

Thank you very much! Worked with absolutely no problems at all!

Just bought a T-Mobile US HD2!! This phone's great! A little overwhelmed with the Windows Mobile OS though! Having come from Apple and Android OS, windows feels vast and am kinda lost. Trying to learn nevertheless
Anyways, I HSPL'd my phone (1024MB ROM) and then installed Kumar's Custom ROM. IMO custom ROMS arent as polished as the Original ROMS are; albeit more stable.
Is there a way to flash a stock ROM back to my TMOUS HD2? Not the one I had before. But a better (read, stable) one? If yes, which one would it be?
Appreciate the help.
Cheers!!

What Rom did you have on your phone before flashing Kumars Custom Rom thats the real question
I think the latest Stock Rom available for the 1024LEO is the 2.10 build. As the guide states you cant flash older Stock or Custom Roms or you will brick your device so I wouldnt advise doing that.
Mark.

help
im new at this just got my tmo-us hd2 i flashd a custom rom but i want to know if any one could tell me the steps to put the original spl and rom just incase!! thanks

Just have to flash original rom from sdcard to remove hspl quick search will reveal the guide.

@mskip
I flashed the original HSPL that was posted for the U.S HD2's. Everything seems to work fine. I've since flashed 3 different roms through my computer. The only problem is that I can't seem to flash from my SDCARD. I have done this a million times on my Touch Pro 2 so I know how to do it. I even followed your instructions to a T.
What happens it I go to the tri colored screen (after I reset it) and it looks like it goes to another screen for a split second then it comes back to the tricolored screen. I have no idea why that is. Yes I renamed the rom to LEOIMG.
Is this one of the bugs you are trying to work out on the HSPL or am I possibly doing something wrong?
Thanks

regarding point 2: did you use the RUU....exe file or the extracted file and renamed it leoimg.nbh?
What I mean is: extract the original HTC ROM to your desktop with either 7-zip en, even, powerarchiver. You will then have a file named RUU_Signed.nbh. Power off device and take SD card out an insert to PC. Rename the RUU-Signed.nbh file to leoimg.nbh and copy to the root of your SD Card. Reinsert SD Card in device and enter bootloader screen (press and hold vol down key and then shorlty on/off button). Once you enter the bootloader screen, then the HTC ROM will be automatically installed onto your device. If this succeeds, do a hard reset afterwards for extra security.
Good luck and regards, Kuzibri

OK, run HSPL2_RUN.exe and set it to SPL 1,66.000 and soft reset your device. Download form HTC's website the HTC's official 1.66 ROM with your S/N. Connect device to PC either with AC or WMC, without setting up your device (connect without setting up option). Run RUU1.66..... exe and this ROM should be installed on your device. See if this works, if yes contact me again about your future plans (ROM, etc).

then use 1.48, you can leave SPL at 1.66 (or if you can set it to 1.48 is also OK)

dear ansar
thanks for all your very hard work
B.1 appears not to exist. Can I use A.3 instead (which is my normal ROM ?)
+ you say the ROM is unbranded, but it has Orange in the text - is it unbranded ?
Can I use RUU_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50_RELEASE from another thread instead ?

If not, is the first ROM (the one that failed to flash) a NODO build from Orange with UK keyboard/dictionary?

Hi,
This is a NoDo HTC_Europe ROM for Orange_UK operator and can select many keyboards but not UK
You can flash the NoDo Orange_UK ROM instead
Regards, ansar

Thanks. I could live with the keyboard, but the spelling dictionary is a bit more of an issue.
>> You can flash the NoDo Orange_UK ROM instead
Just to be clear - is that the B1 ROM or something from another thread?
cheers,
Matt

Hi,
Not from B1, you must flash the NoDo ROM for Orange_UK 1.30.061.01

Hi ansar,
I've successfully flashed my phone to Mozart_Orange_UK_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.3 3b.50U_NoDo... BUT you know on the keyboard when you hold down the .com button?
I now have .com, .org, .edu and .net... my original rom had .com, .org, .co.uk and .net.
How do you get the '.co.uk' back in the list?

Why does the HTC_Europe ROM have American English dictionary
Surely being a Europe ROM it should be UK English seems as though the UK is part of Europe and America isn't

Hi - it would seem neither B1 or B2 links work anymore...?
Any chance of them being reinstated?
Cheers

Dear forum members,
In the following A, B, C and D sections is described the flashing process
of the NoDo unbranded ROM: RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50U_NoDo
A. Pre-Requisites
If your Mozart is flashed with a ROM of the following releases:
1. RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.20.061.03_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
2. RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.22.061.10_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
3. RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.24.061.35_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
then you can flash the following NoDo unbranded ROM and when you like you can comeback to your previous ROM
In case your Mozart is flashed with a different of the above 1, 2, 3 ROMs but your Firmware version at your phone settings>about>more information
is of the form xxxx.yy.zzzzz.061 i.e. with characteristic value 061
then you can also flash the following NoDo unbranded ROM, but you can comeback only to one of the above 1, 2, 3 ROMs
B. Downloading
You must download the following 2 ROMs:
1. Download this zip ROM file: RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50U_NoDo_by_ansar
2. Download this zip ROM file: RUU_Mozart_Orange_UK_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar
Extract the downloaded zip ROM files with an unzip / 7zip utility in separate folders of your choice
C. Flashing Process
In order to successfully flash the provided ROMs you must follow these steps:
1. Flash the ROM of the above (B.1.) extracted zip ROM file
2. After flashing Mozart will automatically enter again in bootloader mode
3. In the screen of your computer the ROMUpdateUtility will report an ERROR[270]
4. Ignore it and exit from ROMUpdateUtility
5. Now flash the ROM of the above (B.2.) extracted zip ROM file
6. After flashing your Mozart will boot normally
7. Exit from ROMUpdateUtility and proceed with your brand new ROM
If you do not want them you can delete all operator apps, in order to have more free RAM
Beware, in WP7 deleting an application means it is deleted from ROM
D. ROM Flashing Instructions
In order to flash a ROM follow these steps:
1. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
2. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
3. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
4. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
5. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
6. After completion of (D.5.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
7. To flash the ROM go to your pc/laptop folder where the downloaded zip ROM file is extracted
8. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen
Till next version enjoy!!!

Thank you. Downloading link 2 (219 MB) now and link 1 appears to be OK for download too.

I follow you guide installing "RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar".
When it finished the phone reboot in normal boot, shut down and the SPL is 5.11 (before was 5.12)
edit
I try to delete the "_1.28" from this file "RUU_signed.nbh_1.28" and works

Just found that this won't work for my phone because it was bought from Orange UK. Guessing this first ROM isn't compatible then.
