and put it over on the sd card and renamed it leoimg.nbh.
but when i go to bootloader (volume down) the white loadnníng screen appears for ½ sec. and then the coulored screen appears again... what am i doing wrong
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE

Try a different sd card.
No more than 4GB, 2GB is better.

Have used 2 differend 2gb card, did not work

You extracted first, right? You don't just rename the whole downloaded file, you extract ruu_signed.nbh from the rom and rename that.

yes exactly. I did a full format and then extract the diwnloaded file and renamed it to leoimg. And put it on the sd card

When you enter bootloader and it flashes grey just for a moment it usually means either a bad .nbh file, the flash of grey is bootloader finding tyw nbh and rejecting it for whatever reason. What did you format the card to? Needs to be fat32.

Okay, yes, i formatet to fat 32 and not a quick

I now have same problem as fischerben, when trying to update ROM from SD, grey flashes and disappears. Tried with 2 gb SD, formatted to fat32, tried with ROMs downloaded from different sites. Any other solutions of this problem?
EDIT: I tried with different ROM downloaded from official site(the only one without any O2 etc addons) and i get to "Loading..." but on SPL 3.03 i get "Not allowed" and on 2.08 i get stuck on "loading".
EDIT2: I made it. Tried with million different ROMs(both older and newer ones), until with one ROM i found PN limitation number. This one finally worked, with SPL 3.03 installed(i figured that its showing right message with "not allowed" and i should just search for the right ROM).
Cheers

Cannot flash from sd card but can flash from USB

Hi i have flashed my HD2 from a sd card for more than 30 times but now I am unable to flash using my sd card.
I get into the boot loader mode with leoimg.nbh on sd card, but in the bootloader mode white colored loading screen appears for some fractions of a second and returns to tri color screen.
I was using Ozrom on the device last when i discovered this problem.
spl - 1.42.hspl
cotullahspl
Please help...
Sorry for my bad english.
Also I had already done alot of searching but could not find anything...
Update :
Now i cant flash from usb also. First I was able to flash from usb but now I cannot.
-Tried using a new sd card and formatted with fat32 file system. Problem still exists...
-Checked the file name and extensions its not "leoimg.nbh.nbh".
-Tried flashing just leoimg.nbh on card
-tried flashing with 5 different roms from different cooks
-tried renaming the file to capitals LEOIMG.nbh
-updated the hspl to hspl2 2.08
Problem is not solved.
There may be a problem with the sd card. Are you still using the same card you have used before? If so, try formatting the card (FAT32) or try a different sd card if you have one.
You can of course continue using usb, sd card flashing is only really needed in order to remove hspl.
Maybe is your card corrupted, try to format it in FAT32...
Tried using a new sd card and formatted with fat32 file system. Problem still exists...
Mate, you only need to flash from sd card when you cant flash from usb. I dont know why you are getting this error but dont worry too much. Did you name the file correctly (leoimg)? It's easy to make a mistake here. Some people rename the file to leoimg.nbh - you dont need to add the .nbh. It's already an nbh file - so you would end up with leoimg.nbh.nbh
Lastly dont flash a 2.10 rom via sd card or you will end up stuck with an spl that you cant change
i know about the file extensions and file names...i am flashing since 3 years from memory card....i am not a newbie..tell solutions other than the problems occured to noobs...like rename error..format memory card stuff...i want some solution other than that..
thanx alot for your support its really appreciated...looking forward for your help..hope now this time you can divert me in the right direction

I always used to flash my diamond from internal storage when i had it. Got my HD2 and carried on flashing from SD for my first 2 or 3 ROMs and then it stopped working having the same thing as you. As if it tries to read the .nbh then goes back to the bootloader. I havent let it worry me as im nearly always next to a pc when im flashing a new ROM (have to be now), but I would be interested to find the answer as well.
but no one is really interested to reply here peovide a solution.....infact they are advising to flash from a pc...but i want to flash from a sd card
Just keep using USB, less lilkely to go wrong anyway

Cant open NBH file?

Im having a big problem trying to install energy maxsense rom, i jsut successfully hardspl'd my phone and now i have tried both methods of installing the rom and through the computer it tells me the file can't be opened and when i go into bootloader with it on my sd card nothing is happening any ideas ?

yes, the stock 16gb card doesnt work for flashing roms. use a smaller card.
When you try on the PC, what do you mean by the file cant be opened? you arent clicking teh .nbh file are you? you need to put it in a folder with customruu.exe, so there are just the two files, then run customruu.exe (right click and run as administrator)
i ditched the 16 gb card from the rip since it was only class 2 im using a class 6 8 gb card and when i have just the two files in a folder on my desktop and run the ruu it tells me it cant open the nbh file ???? im at a loss i dont know what else to do ?
for sd card, make sure it is formatted fat32, they sometimes arent. Also, there have been some (not loads but some) reports of teh same problem with 8gb as with 16gb.
as for the PC flash, download it again.
I've noticed if it's a problem with the card being too big it will usually show "loading" for a split second after going into bootloader. At least for me (with the stock 16gb and another 8gb card)

This has been discussed MANY times so have no idea how you couldn't find info via search.
All you need to do is..
a) Power off phone
b) Hold Volume down button
c) Press (do not hold) power button
d) Once Tri color boot screen is up, plug in USB cable.
e) Flash stock ROM from HTC site.
DONE!
I am sorry.... But Thx i Just did that and Its back to Win Mob !

Make sure you use HSPL 4 to revert your HSPL back to 3.03.0000 SPL before sending it back in. If yocflash the most recent T-Mobile update ROM the 3.14 ROM you need to reflash it via SD card as it has SPL 3.10.0000 and HSPL 4 does not have that SPL version in it. Bit flashing via SD card will give you this SPL version if you flash the ROM I am speaking of.
To flash via SD card right click on the ROM and select rename and rename it to a .zip file and hit enter. Then right click the file again and select view, find the RUU_signed.nbh file and copy it to the root of your SD card. Don't forget to go back and rename the original file .exe again so you can use it later if you need it again. After you have copied the RUU_signed.nbh to your SD card use your File Explorer to find the file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Next turn your HD2 off and hold the volume down button down while you power your HD2 back on and as soon as you see bootloader and searching on the screen let the volume down button go and follow the on screen instructions.
This will have you 100% good to go for a warranty exchange or repair.
Hmm, So you want me to take the stock Ruu File that i downloaded from t-mobile and rename that to leo.img....the HSPL on there is currently it shows -2.08.HSPL
in the triloader screen? I am still confused on what to do exactly... i already reformatted the phone with the stock Ruu. And thats what the HSPL is that shows on the Tri Color boot screen of the phone.

Yes you need to revert the HSPL back to SPL. HSPL is a custom SPL and you do not want this on your HD2xif youcare sending it in for warranty replacement or warranty repair. The twocways of reverting it is to flash the official ROM via SD card or use the HSPL 4 utility to revert it cause you can flash SPL as well as HSPL with it. But I recommend you use the SD card flash as the SPL with the current T-Mobile upgrade ROM is 3.10.0000 and HSPL 4 does not have this SPL.cGocto the below link if you are still confused about flashing via SD card, it will explain all.

make its the .nbh file that your renaming to LEOIMG.nbh ... dont just simply rename the .exe file
Well the file i downloaded it seems to just be an .exe file... thats the one i was gonna rename to .nbh... that file is the same one i used to reformat the phone back to win mob 6.5

You havecto rename the file you downloaded. from .exe to .zip and then you can explore the file to find the RUU_signed.nbh file.

the exe file is just an archieve that with in that is the .nbh file.along with the radio and the update software.. you just need to extract it using winrar or prob changing the extension from .exe to .zip... once extracted the file.with the .nbh extention is the rom.. the bootloader will only recognize .nbh... so just change the .nbh file name to leoimg and move it to the root of the sdcard and once in bootloader mode it will detect the file and flash it and remove the hspl
Ok, So i put the leoimg.nbh in the sd card booted to the Tri loader and its just stuck on that screen... its not currently connected to the computer... it says serial on the white part of the screen... How do we get it going... or start the process?
You guys said it should search after letting go of the vol down button but its not moving from the screen and theres a 1gb sd card.

? make sure the .nbh file you renamed was the rom (largest one) and that you didnt just rename it to leoimg.nbh.nbh because thats a common mistake and try naming it LEOIMG capital letter... but thw bootloader should load up the file without any input from you
Also make sure it is on the root of your SD card.
How do we get it on the root... i just copied and pasted it to the micro sd card... and its all in caps! Also it doesnt just start up

Yhe root of your SD card means it iscjust on the SD card and not in a file. So when you view your SD card you should be able to see it with out having to open a file.
oK, So, i renamed that RUu file which i made a mistake in putting it in .zip and re extracting it because i had found another Leoimg.nbh file that i tried using so, I reformatted the sd card to fat32 and but the one i found of the Ruu file.... and renamed it the "LEOIMG.nbh" and re did it... And now it picked it up its installing Radio V2 Rcust bootloader splash 1 os config data...so we shall see what happens...!
Ok, it said Update Success... Does that mean i am done after that or do i have to do anything else?!

[HELP] Cannot go back to stock!!!

I tried to install a new rom via my SD card and it refused to boot, it simply stayed at the HTC logo. So now, I have no working OS on my phone. I tryed to go back to stock Winmo 6.5, following all instructions, but my bootloader won't load the .nbh file, it simply stays idle at the Tri color screen. I've tried switching SD cards, installing other ROMS via SD to no avail. Also tried the HSPL 4 method to get back to stock, but I have no working windows OS on the phone, so I cannot synch with WMDC. I've tried everything.
I would like to keep working with android on my phone, but if i have to start from scratch then that would be fine also. Can anyone help me? I have no other phone ATM.
Specs:
MAGDLR 1.13, CWM 3.0.0.5, SPL 2.08 HSPL, Radio 2.15.50
Can anyone please help!?????????????? I really need to get my phone up and running :[
No need for wmdc sync.
Phone into bootloader, connect USB, flash rom.
Thats what I'm saying, the bootloader should automatically detect the Ship rom when turned on to the tri color screen, but it doesnt, nothing happened. I downloaded the ROM straight from T-Moblie
I didn't say flash from SD.
What I said was you don't need a booted rom to use USB flashing,,, no need for wmdc.
Phone into bootloader, connect USB, count to 5, on the PC run the flash. Hspl.exe also can be run like this.
As to why the leoimg.nbh doesn't start, its usually one of two reasons..
1 the SD card should be 4gb or smaller, and
2 people sometimes don't extract ruu_signed.nbh, they just rename the rom.exe.

When you say "run the flash" do you mean run the RUU_signed exe file? Also, I followed the instructions to get back to stock to a T, even swapped out my 16gb card for a 2gb with the same image and tried it. Should i just give up on flashing it via SD?

just to confirm you should be unzipping the .exe file, extracting the ruu_signed.nbh file, renaming that file to leoimg.nbh and using that on the sd card?
You don't rename the whole .exe

Absolutely. Formated the SD, extracted the file from the zip, extracted the exe file, got the RUU_signed, renamed it leoimg.nbh, slide it over to the SD card and put the phone in bootloader....and nothing happened.

[Q] Unable to reflash to stock ROM

Hi guys,
So recently my screen stopped working and I need to get it fixed. I want to revert the phone back to its stock ROM but I can't seem to do that. I downloaded the stock rom and followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc89Gh0QpIY&feature=player_embedded
But, when I get into bootloader, in the white section of the screen it says Serial and it just stays unresponsive, it doesn't boot up like in the video. Any ideas on what's going on?
Did you rename the .nbh file to LEOIM.nbh? Also did you put thenfilenon the root(not in a folder) of your SD card? If you have done both of these then make a back up of you SD card and then reformat you SD card with a full format and not a quick format. Also the SD card method does not work well with larger SD cards so you may have to try a 2gig or 4gig SD card. Last you can use HSPL 4 to revert back to stock SPL just choose the SPL version from the drop down box when you run the installer, here is a hint the SPL's with four zeros at the end are stock SPL's.
Thanks for the reply
So, I tried reformating my 16 gb SD and still have the same problem. I then tried to do it with a 4 GB SD, same thing. So I tried it with HSPL but I can't sync the phone to my PC since it's in storage mode and with the touchscreen broken I can't adjust it to sync. I'm not taking the phone to a verified dealer so they probably won't care that it's flashed. The problem, from what I understand is that the digitizer is broken, so it shouldn't matter that the phone is flashed, right?
Thanks
You can connect it to the PC for flashing without Windows Mobile through the bootloader (3-colour screen). Just turn that on and connect it; Serial should change into USB and you are ready to flash.
About SD card method: Make sure the nbh file is named LEOIMG.nbh. The letters MUST be uppercase, else it might not work.
