Hey everybody im charles!

Every time i try to flash a rom to my HD2 i do everything correctly but i get to a screen that says "the update utility can not open the requested file" so should i do or is there a different roms that will support my phone

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08 HSPL 8g XE

COTULLA HSPL 0x05
0x40
Thank you

sounds like you aren't putting the nbh file and customruu into a folder together.
either that, or you aren't extracting the nbh file from its zip, perhaps.
give us some details, especially filenames.

Where can i find some roms, where every thing is connected... dont i open up the rur or do i put everythinng in one file??

hey charles,
u should extract the zip file (or 7z) and then make sure you put ONLY the nbh file and the customRUU in a separate folder. execute the customRUU. many files should appear for a short while. give it a shot.
p.s. you can go for the ENERGY ROM SERIES. it is my favourite ROM! and it never gives me problems while flashing!
cheers!

Flashing stuck on 0%

I've flashed HSPL 3 to my phone successfully about a month and flashed my first ROM, and then my second, and third, and so on with no problems.

A few weeks ago, my phone stopped charging and I assumed it was a hardware issue, so I flashed my phone back to stock through a website that was suggested here on xda-developers with success.

My plan was to ship my phone back in at get it replaced through the warranty but after I flashed back to stock, the phone was charging without a problem. Figuring it was a ROM issue, I wanted to flash a simple compressed ROM and got as far as the point where my phone and computer were both on the percentage screen showing 0%, but that's where it stays. No matter what ROM I try to flash, including ones that worked fine in the past, it stays at 0%.

The only thing I can think of where I may have screwed up, is that when I decided not to send the phone back in and was preparing to flash a new ROM on there, I flashed HSPL3 again, thinking that because it had been flashed with the stock rom, it would flash EVERYTHING back to stock. I'm assuming this is what screwed things up, but I'm a pretty big noobie and could use some help. Any ideas?!

when you flashed back to stock, if you used sd card then it will have removed hspl, meaning flashing hangs at 0%
when you later flashed hspl3 again, did you forget to change the dropdown from 2.08.0000to 2.08.hspl? (very common error)
boot into bootloader, see what it says by "spl".

Well, I flashed back to stock via USB which I later read that it would undo the HSPL3 flash, which is why I wondered why that might be the problem. When I just entered bootloader mode, it says SPL-2.10.0000 not 2.08.0000.

That must have been it. I just reflashed the HSPL3 and this time it through up the we hacked it screen. Don't remember that happening the last few times. I'll try flashing the new rom and see how it works out. Thanks so far! : )

Funny how quickly things can turn from large, seemingly unanswerable, problem to "wow, how could I have possible missed that" in a matter of seconds! THANK YOU!

heh, glad to help. an outsiders view is always the best place to try figure out problems.
