Also, if you are using a USB slot that is not directly on the motherboard (Example thourgh a card reader, or in the front of the PC case) this may affect it.

On my PC, if I use the USB slot in the front of the case, HSPL will NOT work, i just get the timeout.

I move the USB to the back USB slots, and it works instantly.

Thanks for this, I am clueless with regards to this and it was so easy, everything seems OK so far. I was previously stuck on Vodafone 1.43 and due to this have been able to finally upgrade to 1.66. I have downloaded the original 1.43 shipped for Voda in case the phone needs to go back for any reason, is there anything else I should do or should have done?

Thanks again for releasing me from my 1.43 Vodafone hell.

Dear Pepe,

Sorry the same posted on sspl thread.

I run Hspl, up many cook and ship room by pc sync be ok.

After that i up "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.07.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.33.5 0.07U_2.07.50.27_2_Test" by SD card and be damage something.

Now my phone can not start up, only having a white triangle. SPL was change to SPL - 2.07.0000 8G XE with a text "Upgrade ROM code error" below.

I cannot up anything by SD card and PC sync only having text "loading".

SSPL can run without PC sync ? Hspl can run with SPL - 2.07.0000 8G XE in future?

Please help me. How can save my phone.

Thanks.

hi guys,

I have just got my Leo, but it has rom 1.66.403.1 DA (danish). So As it is mentioned in the first post, i have to have 1.42.000. So where i could find a danish 1.42.000, i have searched the forum, but i could not find any danish 1.42. Is there any solution or I stocked with the official rom for the rest of my life:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harry655:
Hi guys

I think some people might be having trouble loading the hspl by clicking on the wrong file. I was clicking on Romupateutility.exe and it seemed to be doing something but would always stop with an error.

Then I clicked on HSPL.exe (several days later :) ) and ouala. Like a litle boy with a new toy. :-)

I've had the hd2 (telstra) couple weeks now. Fantastic gadget, even better when you can hack it. still getting my head around all the flashing terms. But finally managed to load the hspl and then dutty's rom all within about 10 minutes. So happy i got rid of all the telstra junk.

And am very greatfull.

Nice work

my hd2 is 1.48 .. wwe how can i find it's rom update .. ?? n.b. it keeps telling me that this rom is not for my device ..any help .. thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tokolosh:
Read first post - the SPL is not language based (i mean it doesnt care what language your wished ROM is)

Download HSPL try flashing, if it says "we hacked it" it works and otherwise it doesnt and your original one stays on "unharmed"

PS: Please learn to use the search funtion or at least learn to read before asking these types of questions. It makes a bad impression on newbies when ppl just come in here, dont take the time to read whats been posted before, and just ask the same questions that have been answered dozens of times before. Specially when they are all pissed off when there questions dont get answered.

I myself had quite a few questions which all answered themselves by using the search funtion and a little bit of commen sense (which i guess some ppl dont have)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nizarghosn:
dear sir .. thank's for ur notice .. but my question is very clear ,i know every thing about the hspl and how to download and install it .. but what i need is why i could not find my rom ,the special for my hd2 wish has a special s/n .. i need to upgrade my original rom ... understand my dear friend ..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
if the htc website does not accept your serial then your phone is locked to your provider.

go to the official roms thread and download your rom from there.

if the htc website had let you download then you would not have needed hspl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lomo2002:
sorry, the post to be deleted! the problem solved!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nizarghosn:
ok fine .. first could you please show me the official rom thread links !!

second: you mean that the hspl could resolve the problem if my hd2 is locked to whatever the provider.. and by flashing my rom with hspl will let me upgrade with any rom i choose ,correct ?? thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Lol, the official roms thread is one of the top 10 sticky threads in this section. I dont wish to appear mean, but sorry,. I wont hold your hand to find it. If you can't find it you shouldnt be flashing. Look for the thread called [Ref] Leo Official Roms

HSPL will let you instal whatever official OR cooked rom you choose.

After downloading and unzipping the HSPL.zip I get security warning from my F-secure: "Real-time scanning has blocked access to Trojan-Spy.Win32.Ardamax.dbi virus that was detected as a potential security threat."

That sounds worrying to me...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
False positive and nothing to worry about. (Well, so long as you downloaded it from here theres nothing to worry about.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Masterix275:
OK, I accept that, but can you tell me more about it? To me it still means that someone can potentially collect an info that I might not wish to share...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
sorry got no hard facts but I would suggest it is the packer that is triggering the av. I know the customruu.exe also triggers some av products. neither of them triggered either microsoft security essentials or avast on either of my systems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Masterix275:
Thanks for the response samsamuel... A friend of mine told me pretty much the same and I'm keen to believe it but still... If you search online you find out what kind of threat Ardamax is and I hope you update your antivirus definitions on daily basis...

Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
lol, it updates itself, but HSPL doesnt install on your computer, just runs then exits, so no threat there, and the trojan you mentioned wont run on your phone so thats safe too. If in doubt, use someone else machine! heh

Plus of course about 20.000 people have downloaded and used both files, i'm pretty sure someone would have noticed!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Masterix275:
lol, isn't that how it works? You open/run an infected file and that triggers the virus and then you don't lol... Why don't you just tell me why we're (as I'm not alone) getting the warning. Look man, no offence or disrespect but Ardamax can be set up to log you keystrokes and send it to someone as an email. As I use internet banking and logins to quite a few sites I do feel unsafe when I get such a warning, that's all.

I'm grateful for someone who spends the time to make all of us happier but I just didn't expect that file to be infected...

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
it's not. false positives crop up all the time. as i said before it's probably the packer that is used to create the executable that is triggering the av.

every month there is a story of some av program ort another quarantining legitimate system files and causing problems like windows not booting or some such.

try it with a different scanner, they are farrrrrrr from infallible.

try it with an online scanner like trend house call for instance.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] madindehead:
Of course the phone will work without HSPL. HPSL only allows you to flash UNSIGNED custom ROMs.

Best thing is, read about things before doing anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sb09:
My HD2 got really hot yesterday and drained the battery. Been trying since early this morning to get some charge into it, because at this moment I cannot switch it on, or even get it into bootloader mode - it's completely dead!

I can't get the orange LED charging indicator to come on at all now, now matter how I try to charge it (AC adaptor/USB both genuine and replacements). Left battery out all last night, and LED came on briefly this morning before disappearing a few minutes later. I'm convinced it's over-heating the power unit and switching itself off immediately before it will allow any charging or booting up to happen - disaster!

If I can't get unit back on, then how am I ever going to reflash stock ROM to return for warranty repair (it's 37 days old).

Even if I can somehow flash stock rom, will HSPL necessarily need to be removed (i.e. if I do it via SD card)? Can I not just flash stock rom via RUU - will it not hide the HSPL details so that when I get it back, I can re-install HSPL and flash custom ROMs again?

Any help would be much appreciated - feeling pretty low at the moment! :(

Thank you for your interest.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
IF it still states 1.42.HSPL, you are fine. You only really need to worry about SPL when flashing stock/factory ROMs, particularly from the SD card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ryplok:
False Positive

There is no threat - this is a false alarm from your antivirus program. I use HARD-SPL all the time, and a few antivirus programs give you this warning message. If you want to use hard-spl you should disable your antivirus and then re-enable it afterwards. Bonne chance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ryplok:
Flash everything... or not?

Folks, I got a bit confused this time - AFAIK, hard-spl will make the device CID-free and so you can install any region ROM. Isn't that correct?

I am still using the Goldcard method to change the language in my HD2s, and I was intrigued by the fact that this HARD-SPL version will not remove the CID protection. I assume there are different types of Hard Spl then?

Bepe, kudos to you! Thank you for the hard work.

Great HSPL! Thou not for unlocking to any network in mind from HD2 O2:-)

Hi Guys!!

First of a 'Big Thank You' to Bepe and Cotulla, for all their genorous work!! Also, a Hello, from me being a noobie on this forum:)

I have at mo, currently locked HD2, from O2 and have been able to change roms using the goldcard method, as to try out the ones I like. And I would like to share my experiance, whilst installing this HSPL, with unlocking to orange in mind.( Sorry Bepe and Cotulla if this was not intended!!)

I had spl version 1.42.6666 and so to get back to 1.42.00000, I had to use the goldcard method with the stock RUU_signed version 1.48. Just by connecting to the computer and running the RUU_signed.exe will cause a invalid issue at 1%!!

From that, I was then able to run Bepe-Cotulla's HSPL with no issues.. Once I re-booted with my orange sim, unfortunatly I got the 'Please enter valid code' again.:( So, unless I have done something wrong, please let me know!! Or otherwise for you guys, also waiting on this HSPL for unlock their HD2, may also experiance a similer issue. I guess I have to wait for an unlock code.:(

Once again, Thank You!! Hope this helps others in same position as I:)

With SSPL:

• if you get a bad flash = more steps (gold card method)

• to get any stock rom = more steps (gold card method)

• you need to do SSPL everytime you flash = more steps

• more steps = more potential mistakes

With HSPL:

• if you get a bad flash you just get an error warning and you just try again

• can flash any ROM (cooked or stock)

• safer flashing process

• less steps to flashing

• HSPL is only done once

To get back to your original ROM/SPL has never been easier.

Uninstallation

Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vichet007:
First of all, quietly brilliant (part of new HTC brand name?)!!!

Q1: I normally flash ROM from SD Card, is there any way to check if the cooked ROM includes SPL?

Q2: Can SPL be removed from cooked ROM image? If SPL can be removed from cooked ROM, I would suggest to ALL COOKERS to remove SPL from the ROM image, so that everyone can flash all cooked ROM from SD Card.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
it could be that you overwrote HSPL when you flashed with sd card. (dont mess with sd cards)

I recommend you find your stock rom, your REAL stock rom, not just any stock rom, and flash it from sd card. this will reset both teh rom and the radio. You will then need to re install hspl, as the sd card flash will remove it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zuriyaty:
i tried everything..

installed specific radio version (suggested by rom cookers based on their rom) n then install custom rom..

Everything works fine for first boot only and run smooth..but then spoiled at white HTC screen after reboot......

frustrated n then reinstall my "REAL" stock rom that overwrite HSPL to original SPL using SD card method..

only REal STOCK rom work fine with my HD2..seems HTC not allow me to use custom rom.. :(

my stock rom version=1.66.707.1(76641)WWE

stock radio version=2.06.51.07...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
last night i tried to flash a custom rom based around the 2.10 rom, and I had radio 2.06 and it stopped at white screen, even though the chef says it should work with 2.06. If you are trying to use a high build rom, try it with the 2.08 radio, and dont be surprised if it doesn't boot until you have flashed both.

Also, remember to do a hard reset as soon as the rom has finished its first set up.

Help please - my HD2 won't boot

I installed the HSPL followed by the latest EnergyROM but when it rebooted it froze on the white HTC screen - it goes no further. I've tried installing another ROM from the SD card, but I only get the 4-color boot screen, nothing else. Is my HD2 offically a brick now? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gianton:
you have to flash to the latest 2.08.50.08_2 radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As gianton says, you need to flash to the 2.08 radio for the NRG rom. It is included in the download file. From the bootloader just flash the radio and the rom will boot up,

For flashing from the sd card, did you rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh and did you copy it to the root directory of the sd card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ConfusionCorner:
Thanks ClydeB1, thanks gianton. Yes, I renamed the nbh and copied it to the root. To flash the radio, do I need to do the same (i.e. rename it to LEOIMG.nbh)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ConfusionCorner:
I thought I'd try this (put the radio nbh in the root of the microSD card and renamed it LEOIMG.nbh) but nothings happening - it simply doesn't seem to boot from the microSD at all.

I tried resetting to "manufacturers default" by holding VolUp, VolDown and PowerOn. Then I press VolUp to do the restore and again to boot. When I do this I see R 2.06.51.07 G 15.30.50.07U D 2.09.81280.80 then it goes into the EnergyROM setup again. But this just gets me back to the white screen with HTC logo when it reboots.

Likely it is because of the wrong radio, but am I missing a trick to get it to install the correct radio nbh from the microSD?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
dont mess about with the sd card, assuming you hape hspl, just put the radio (called RUU_Signed.nbh) in a folder on the pc with customruu.exe, run cutomruu and it will flash over USB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ConfusionCorner:
The trouble is I can't get the HD2 to boot (it sticks on the HTC logo page), so I can't use ActiveSync to flash it...
