Normally, we upgrade HTC HD2 Windows Mobile ROM using RUU with USB cable. It is faster than using SD card method. Then why do we need to upgrade HTC HD2 ROM through SD card?

  • Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM is corrupted
  • Remove HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL

You cannot upgrade HTC HD2 Windows Mobile ROM using RUU when you cannot even connect through Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync. And the only way to remove HSPL is to use SD card upgrade ROM method with official HTC HD2 stock ROM.

Do a backup with PIM Backup v2.8 before upgrading your Windows Mobile ROM. Note – all your data will be deleted when install new ROM. Download official HTC HD2 v3.14 ROM or latest and get ready to start.

By the way, no need to load into bootloader to see HSPL. That’s for your information that SD card upgrade method can really remove HSPL in the video. And for corrupted Windows Mobile case, just copy leoimg.nbh file to your SD card using SD card reader instead of USB cable in the video. Then continue from there…

Step by Step Guide

  1. Power off your phone.
  2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
  3. It will load into bootloader.
  4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
  5. Take off the battery.
  6. Power on your phone.
  7. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
  8. At PC, right click and open official HTC HD2 ROM with 7-Zip.
  9. Copy ‘RUU_signed.nbh’ to desktop.
  10. Rename it to ‘leoimg.nbh’.
  11. Connect to SD card storage using Windows Mobile Device Center / ActiveSync.
  12. Copy leoimg.nbh to SD card storage.
  13. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
  14. Open ‘File Explorer’.
  15. Go to ‘Storage Card’.
  16. Confirm that leoimg.nbh is in SD card root level.
  17. Power off your phone.
  18. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
  19. It will load into bootloader.
  20. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
  21. Let go volume down button when you see ‘loading…’.
  22. Then ROM upgrade screen will be loaded.
  23. Press power button to start update the ROM.
  24. ROM update process will take around 15 minutes.
  25. Take off the battery after update success.
  26. Power on your phone.
  27. First time use preparation process will take around 4 minutes.
  28. Then follow phone onscreen instructions to setup.
  29. Power off your phone.
  30. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
  31. It will load into bootloader.
  32. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-3.03.
  33. Press volume down button to cancel ROM update.
  34. That’s all.

After remove HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL, no worry about warranty issue when send your HTC HD2 to service.

  1. hi jayce,
    why you keep on warning that rom upgrade is not intented for t-mobile US version.Will there be any problem if we upgrade the rom on t-mobile US rom.Mine is T8585 US version but I have upgraded to custom energy cookie rom after flashing hspl3~spl vs2.08 and radio rom vs 2.14.50.04 and both windows 6.5 and android 2.2 froyo is working fine.Should I upgrade to rom vs 3.14

  3. Jayce:

    I have installed hspl3 and have radio 2.15 and flashed a core cell custom ROM, then I used MaGLDR and flashed future shocks miui nand ROM.

    I did not install clockworkmod recovery.

    when i try and flash windows it doesnt connect via usb.
    the ROM update utility does not recognized the phone to pc.

    I tried the sd method and started from step 17 and When I try this method to reboot windows on my phone it stops at RED,GREEN,BLUE, WHITE screen and it says SERIAL at the bottom

    im guessing the method doesnt work in my situation, everywhere i search they tell me to flash old window rom but it wont flash.(tried multiple usb cords, and pcs and roms and it does not work)

    plz Can u help and tell me a way to get my windows ROM back?

      • I’m getting the same issue. I am able to use aMAGLDR V1.11 to move files from my computer to my SD card, but when I go to bootloader it just sits on serial. I’ve downloaded multiple different WinMo roms to try and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh files to LEOIMG.nbh and it does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

    • Any progress here? I’m trying to restore my HD2 to W6.5 I have the latest update from T-Mobile and extracted and renamed the nbh to LEOIMG. But like John, my phone is stuck at SERIAL.

      • Oops, I should have kept reading. Further down the thread, I found the answer. When at the RED,GREEN,BLUE,WHITE screen with the SERIAL at the bottom, I connected the phone via USB to the computer. The computer (Win7) detected it and said “Drivers installed, ready to use.” I simply double clicked the T-Mobile software package and it started to run and update. All done after about 4-5 minutes. Thanks for the post!

  4. Hi Jayce,

    My HD2 got into a big issue… when doing the Magldr installation.
    It get stuck duringboot up screen with only the HTC logo display(nothing else) and stuck forever.

    So I try using the SD ROM upgrade method to restall back.
    But it also stuck at the “Loading…” and not responding…

    Need help.. anyone pls…

  5. CAn SOMEONE HELP ME WITH MY HD2 ITS NOT WORKING CAUSE IVE INSTALLED THE SOFTWARE NOW IT DOESNT IT JUST LIKE WHITE SCREEN WITH HTC THATS ALL BEEN ERASE PLSS HELP ME……..

      • Yes, that’s the T-mobile version i wanted to install but the installation was not successful and now i’m stuck with RED, GREEN, BLUE, White screen each time it boots.
        Please help! How can i load everything back for function? If i boot without the SD card, I’ll get the “Software update failed, please try again” message!

        Tried to install HSPL3 you suggested, getting this error :
        CRITICAL ERROR
        Flow: 00000003
        Error Code: 00000004
        Description: Bad model ID!

  7. Yes it got Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.
    Take off the battery.
    Power on phone.
    My phone doesn’t have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen only the green HTC Logo.please help.

  8. jayce, i am trying to restore my hd2 back to wm6.5 but my hd2 can’t connect to my wmdc.
    and where can i download the wm6.5 rom version 1.43.405.1 (70124) wwe?

  9. hello, after remuve wm7 from htc hd2 (thanks) , I have rom 3.14, no HSPL, how can I instal NAND Android, and what I need to reinstal

    • Both will work on Europe HTC HD2 which has 512 ROM like mine. Difference? Each ROM chef has own way of cooking. So hard to compare unless you test it out everything (which I did not).

  11. My HD2 update software failed, SPL-2.08.0000

    Message : Upgrade ROM code error Please try again.

    So I try using the SD ROM upgrade method to reinstall back.
    But it also stuck at the “Loading…” and not responding…

  12. Who can help me?
    I cant update my hd2
    it gets stuck on the white screen with loading…
    dosnt update, i tried more roms (from origional website)
    also i cant update the normal way by usb cable.
    Ive got spl 2.08
    Ive got this problem since i tried to use android but also that didnt work.
    Phone works but im stuck with the old 1,43 rom so i cant use messeging and stuff.

  13. Hi Jayce,

    I tried the above steps to revert to my stock rom downloaded from HTC site. All went fine (like your video above) and displayed OK until it reached the EXTROM. Only a 5-10% of the update remains on screen displaying Update in Progress… I am stuck in this screen for hours, nothing seems to have happened. Mine is a Singapore set still under warranty. In this stage, will the details on my phone that I installed for Android {my HSPL, Radio Version: 2.12.50.02_2 (old 2.07.51.22_2) Protocol Version: 15.40.50.07U (old 15.32.50.07U)} be erased. Why I asked this is, if I go to the HTC service centre, will they identify I installed customROM that has made my warranty void?

  14. hello jayce im here in some confusing situation. ive contacted hd2 forum on xda developers but couldt get proper solution. i was trying to update htc hd2 tmob uk rom but instead of that i accidentaly ran magldr . i think that flashed my windows. i was running android also bootable from sd card. now as i switch on mobile i get a black screen 12 boot options which are:
    boot wph.
    boot ad sd.
    boot ad nand.
    usb mass stg.
    usb flasher.
    usb tty.
    ad hard reset.
    ad recovery.
    tetris .
    services .
    reset and
    power down.

    now ive downloaded original rom for htc hd2 by tmob uk from htc.com.
    as by clicking on 1st option boot wph i get error message wph not installed & by clicking on 2nd option the boot ad sd i get error message android load at 11800000 from micro sd load zimage K: /DCIM/zimage
    sd kernel open failed /7 by clicking on 3rd option ie Boot AD NAND i get error message no boot sources.
    So now im eagerly waiting for any solution you can provide . Thanks

  15. Hi Jayce

    I’ve downloaded the stock ROM for my Telstra HD2 from the HTCAU site and this is what I got:_”HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_Telstra_WWE_1.72.841.0_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship.exe”

    It’s an EXE file not NBH.?

    How would I get hold of the NBH version?

    BTW There is nothing wrong with my HD2, I’m just getting ready to flash NAND Android and I want to make sure I got some backup if things go wrong.

    Your tutorials are very cleanly done. I have learned a lot from your site.

    Regards,
    Owen.

    B 04
    R 2.37.00WU
    P DSDCANPZM-6125
    D 4.01.93615

    I can even connect the phone to the pc no more. please help out how can i bring the phone back to life.

  28. Hi Jayce,
    I love what you are doing here and all the information that you have provided. I’ve loaded many different android roms (successfully) on my htc hd2 and have encountered problems with my phone. I want to send it in but not sure how to remove HSPL. It’s a hd2 from t-mobile. The radio is 2.15.50.14 and the ROM is 3.14.531.1(04666)WWE. Any help would be much appreciated.

      • I want to do the SD card method but I’m not sure how to approach given that the ROM’s are not for T-Mobile. I get an .exe file from the T-Mobile website but again I’m not sure how to approach this. I’m not trying to brick my phone in the process.

        • Only use official ROM for your phone like T-Mobile for you. My ROM is in .exe format too. I used 7-zip to extract RUU_signed.nbh.

          But I did not test it on T-Mobile HD2. So I am not sure this method will 100% work for you or not. But it works for me as you can see in the video…

  29. hi

    • Here are the list from HTC website…
      1. This upgrade for HTC HD2 includes all previously released updates.
      2. For the Contacts application allowing for faster searching and locating contacts.
      3. Enhanced handling for CPU processing that will quicken the background processes allowing for an overall improved experience.

      In detail, I also don’t know.

    Any advice would be great, thanks!

      • Finally got it! I had to just let it wait for a few hours and cool off I believe. I was trying for 2 days haha, finally took the battery out for a couple hours and after 2nd boot it came up.

        I think this HD2 has heating problems. Its going in for repair, it was having boot problems and such before.

  44. hi JAY

  45. hi after copying leoimg.nbh to sd card, i turned my phone off & powered on with volume down it loads to bootloader but loading white screen does not come. I copied via active sync (you said make sure file is at root ) what is root level

  46. I am keen to load Android and found that ROM 3.14 is needed for the Gingerbread distributions

    I tried to update from your 3.14 update ROM using both SD card method and USB methods but both methods did not work.

    I have only SPL 1.42 (no HSPL) and ROM 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE

    In both cases, I see the “loading” followed by “Not Allow” 00028002

    Any advise?

    • Just to clarify, the ROM

      RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

      was obtained from XDA since HTC does not have any official HTC HD2 ROMs anymore for download.

      I would appreciate some advise

      Thank you..

      • HTC does not provide anymore ROM updates. May I ask which ROM will match my phone region?

        Anyway, I found out in the morning that the phone was hung and after a restart, HTC Sense does not load anymore, although Windows Mobile 6.5 still works. The phone is not bricked but it cannot detect SIM card and it cannot be used as a phone…everthing else seems intact but there are some complaints about programs crashing. (send/don’t send to Microsoft)

        I found an old ROM from XDA called
        _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

        Should I try reloading this old ROM (my ROM is still the same now, just HTC Sense does not work)

        HTC is not much help as they said that they are not providing ROM updates in the meantime as they are re-organising their website.

        Please help!!! I am lost….

  52. Hi Jayce,

    I had sent a msg on your post for reinstalling HTC HD2 wherein I was unable to do so using an SD card. I was today successfully able to start the update process but was unable to do so as I was trying to install ROM Spl 1.43 and 1.48. However the good thing is that I was able to start it. My HD2 has SPL 1.42.0000 rom. I contacted HTC singapore and HTC India to provide me the rom but no help. Would you be able to tell me a location where I can download the official ROM SPL 1.42.0000 XE
    Vikas

  53. Hello I want to upgrade my HTC ROM through this method but mine is SPL 3.03 SPL Is it possible for me to follow this method to upgrade ?

  54. Hi Jayce

    Can you tell me what is the best Rom for HTC HD2. I am using now android 2.3.7
    ???

    Couple times I have white screen problem.
    thanks in advance.

  55. Hey Jayceooi 🙂 I need your help, I get the upgrade rom code error, the rom upgrade can’t go through, it’s because of the fact I don’t know what region my phone is from. How can I check which stock rom to install? I’ve tried many 🙁 Please help.

  56. Hi Jayce,

    Thanks for the guide. I tried to flash the energy rom (for WM) onto my HD2. I followed the steps you listed and at step 21, then I have the 3 color screening, and still holding the volume down key, it didn’t advance into “loading” mode. I held the volume key for minutes but nothing happened. What did I miss? Currently flashing from PC is not an option for me, therefore I try to flash the rom from the SD card. Thanks for helping!

  58. Hi Jayce,
    I had android installed on my HD2 and i needed to take my phone to service and i kind of need the warranty… I tried to do flash back win mobile like you showed in the guide, but the update failed. I downloaded the rom from htc and i get the 00028002 “not allow” error. And when I tried do do that via USB, the updater says that the vendor is unknown and also aborts. Is there anything I can do to make windows work, or can i install android back or do i have a brick now?
    Thank you!

  59. My HD2 is SPL 1.42.0000 XE. It didn’t even start upgrade and its says Error 002882 Not Allowed…how am I suppose to solve that? Is it because of mine was T-mobile? Please help.

  69. Hey I have Magdlr v1.11 installed on my phone. I had android boot through NAND, a ROM by DFT. It worked fine for many many months, but now my device is shot. My device won’t boot. I’m trying to see if I can return the phone to stock rom now but to no avail. Ive held the vol down key and power button, I’m brought to the multicolored screen. spl 2.08 HSPL CotullaHSPL. In the white section the phone reads Serial, when I connect USB, nothing happens. I’ve tried different USB CORDS but nothing works, it still reads serial. Which means that I cant connect computer to phone to flash back to stock rom. Romupdateutility doesn’t recognize a connected device…I have MAGDLR 1.11, it is somewhat unresponsive. USB FLASH MODE doesn’t work, it just hangs after selecting it. USB MOUNT is also unresponsive when selected. EVEN tetris doesn’t work…

    • Hi Abdias, is your HD2 USB port is still working? Can it still be charged?

      As for serial won’t turn to USB issue, you need to have Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or ActiveSync installed on Windows XP.

  70. Yes, the USB port works fine, it can still charge. The device can maintain charge when the battery is pulled and then put back, and then plugging in USB charger. Only thing is that it won’t hold charge if I press the power button after doing that cycle with the battery. Should I press the power button, the onscreen logos will then go into a constant loop never getting pass the DFT logo.

    I have Windows 7, Windows Mobile DEvice Center is installed on this machine. When I plug in my HD2, I receive the message saying USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED. I’m at my wits end here with this today.

  71. Hi Jayce,

    I’ve got a problem with my HTC HD2, that I can’t fix. I used to have an Android ICS version running on my HD2, but there where a few buggs so I decided to reinstall WM6.5
    The first steps went well, but now everything on my HD2 is deleted.
    It won’t start when I push the on-button. It does react when I connect it to the charger/USB, it keeps showing the HTC logo. When I boot my HD2 I’have the SPL-2.08.HSPL R.G.B.W. screen, but there is no further loading..

    Can you help me?

  72. Yes I did, but it didn’t worked.. There has been soms progress 😀 I finally been able to load it again into MAGLDR. So the final step is to flash a good ROM, isn’t it? I’ll try again and let you know.
    Thanks anyway!

  101. Hi,
    I use htc HD2 (not T Mobile) with Android 2.3.5 and it’s work great.
    I want to change the Android to 4.0.
    I only know to do 2 steps:
    1. Wipe delvic cath.
    2. Install ZIP from SD card.
    I do that steps when I want to reinstall the Android.
    How can I install new Android?
    Can I download the ZIP file from your website, insert it to the SD card and install it like 2 steps I know or I need more steps to do?

    Thank’s.
    Moshe
