Can someone help me please

Hi, I have a Tmo-US htc hd2 and i want to hardspl my phone for the first time and eventually flash a custom rom. Ive never done any hacking to my phone so its completely stock at the moment.

OS Version: 5.2.21892

Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2

ROM version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Radio version: 2.10.50.26

SPL: 2.10.0000

Now, ive been reading this thread and a few other ones, and i have few questions before I do anything to my phone.

1. Im planning to use hardspl3 cause i know it supports spl 2.10 with 2.13 rom, so, if i flash my phone to hardspl3, i can revert back to stock spl using hardspl3 again right? Only, instead of choosing 2.08hard id choose the other 2.08.0000 option right?

2. Also, if i intall a custom rom but then i want to revert back to my original stock rom 2.13, how would i go about doing this? i have a tmous hd2 so i didnt really see any links for original stock roms.

Thanks you. :)

T-Mobile off ebay. Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Coltrane23:
Sorry but this is becoming a little confusing. On the one hand I read “You can remove the HSPL by flashing an original SPL from microSD card OR by running the HSPL3 application”.

Then on the DFT HSPL3 I read :

“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. “

So these statements are a little contradictory, can I return my HD2 to stock merely by running the HSPL3 without recourse to using an SD card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
theyre contradictory because when the 'only by sd card' was written, hspl2 and hspl3 didnt exist.

if you have a tmous, then yes, all you need is hspl3, so you can set it to 2.08.0000, which is (one of) the tmous stock spl,

However non tmous phones dont have 2.08.0000 as stock, so use hspl2 instead, and choose 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sails:
I have some serious problems with this.

First off, I have Vista 64-bit with 6.1 WMDC installed.

It already connected with my HTC HD2

As soon as I start HSPL3.exe, my WMDC crashes and cancels the connection and HSPL3 won't find any connection at all.

My SPL is 1.42.0000

Any solutions, because I don't really have the time to look through the thread (113 pages...)

All I want is to update m RADIO, so I can install the matt Android.

Please help, because I'm close to throw m HD2 out of the window.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
boot into bootloader manually, and then connect to usb, , wmdc wont even know the phone is there, but hspl will still work.

As for why hspl might time out, dont use a front mounted usb port, use on around back of the pc, also right click hspl.exe and 'run as administrator'.

If problems continue, its probably because you have 64bit vista. see if you can borrow an xp machine for 5 minutes. flashing and such should work on 64bit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] trilbyfish:
If hspl stops halfway through the process, will it brick my phone, or can it be reversed? If i want to flash 2.12.50 radio so i can possibly try android, will hpsl 1.66 be OK or will i need 2.08 hspl, and will i be able to flash back to the stock 1.66 from 2.08 hspl if i need to?

Also, will flashing hspl delete everything from the phone, including stuff from the sim card? I will backup just in case.

Thanks in advance. I know they are picky questions but im trying to make sure i know exactly what im doing before i do something massively wrong!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
boot to bootloader and flash again, no problem.

any version ending .hspl will work fine, though if you use hspl3 you can only choose 2.08.hspl anyway, all roms and radios work with all .hspl

yes,. use hspl2

yes

no

wise
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] trilbyfish:
Thanks again for the swift and detailed response!

Do the stock roms have the programs that originally came with the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes, but not the stuff on the sd card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harky:
thanks it work great hehehe..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Coltrane23:
I have run hspl3, so now have 2.08.0000, however I cannot load a stock rom either from the SD card or otherwise. I get alll the way to the last screen and see the status bar both on my HD2 and laptop but the rom update dioes not happen. Any ideas please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htcfreak:
1 best combination with no issues..!!!

VBNROM V5 [Beta] + any radio 2.xx.50.xx

This ROM has ROBOVOICE solution, no screen deaths, worked on all the ANDROID builds..!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
what rom (exact file name please) are you using to try to flash?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] iainbp:
im tryin to explain to my bro-in-law on how to flash a new rom.

he has done a hspl ,no probs there, but when he downloaded the rom he wanted he couldnt extract the file to flash his phone .

he said he cant even extract the files . something about his laptop not givin him the option to extract here. just sayin extract all . but when he extracts all it is not giving him the leo-softwareupgrade .

just wondering if anyone has any ideas why this is ? as i am stuck :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
Custom ROM's are compressed, mostly in .rar or in .7z-format. He probably needs to download WinRAR or 7zip to extract it. If not included, he needs to copy CustomRUU to the same folder (see first post), connect his phone and run CustomRUU.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Akezzon:
I have no clue if this has been answered before or not. Been looking through ever page in this thread and havn't found it. Tried to search as well, but no luck there either.

So my question is, cause I want to flash my HD2, but for some reason I am terrified to do so. I've read and read about it, so I can't mess it up. And I think I got the hang of most of it now. BUT...My question is. If I have SPL 1.42.0000 and use HSPL3. It will ofcourse only give me the options HSPL 2.08 and the option without HSPL. So far I do understand that I should go for the HSPL option to get the HSPL. But if I want to uninstall it by choosing 2.08.0000 will it then go back to 1.42.0000 or will it now become 2.08.0000?

I live in Sweden, and it seems that the HTC's own updates seem to be a bit after, even with the Radio. I have now 2.06.51.07 and have no clue of what will happen if I get a newer one since I don't know if that Radio has any special features just for us in Sweden. I have the stock ROM that has the Radio included on my computer.

So if I install the HSPL3, and then install a new Radio, can I revert the Radio back to 2.06.51.07 by installing that Stock ROM?

It seems like I need to update the Radio though if I gonna use any of the cooked ROMS that are available here. Havn't found one "good looking" ROM that requires my Radio version. =(

Would be glad if anyone could give me some answers.

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
is your phone rom locked? (did it come with a branded rom on it)

Also, 2.08.0000 is not your stock spl so may (not sure) not let itself be downgraded by stock rom flashing. I know some of the 2.x roms wont allow it.

What are you trying to do, exactly?

flash back to stock?

if so, run HSPL2 (forget about hspl3) choose 1.66.HSPL

flash the RUU_LEO_TMO_UK_1.72.10.4_RADIO_CRC_SIGNED_15.32.50 .07U_2.07.51.22_2_SHIP rom over usb

rubn hspl2 again and choose 1.66.0000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Coltrane23:
It was a T-Mobile phone off ebay (I'm on Vodafone myself)which I had unlocked.

I am trying to get it back to a stock rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
gotcha. Well id do as i said above,

hspl2 --> 1.66.hspl

flash the tmo rom you mentioned above, then

hspl2 --> 1.66.0000

(this method bypasses and checks, so if your phone isn't a locked one, then it will still flash, and you can remove hspl after the flash. It basically means you can use the wwe htc one OR the wwe tmo one to get back to non branded/branded stock.)

you should also be able to take the tmo rom you mentioned, extract its contents, find the file RUU_Signed.nbh, copy to sd card, rename it leoimg.nbh and the boot into bootloader and follow the prompts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Akezzon:
Uhmm...was any of these post adressed to me aswell?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
it will go to 2.08.0000, thats why non tmous users would do well to use HSPL2 instead of HSPL3

radios are the same all over, all radios will work on your device.

yes, or by flashing the 2.06.51.07 radio on its own.

because most of the roms also unlock the extra RAM, or they use the latest stock tmous roms as a base(also unlocks the extra ram) and these roms require a ..50.. version radio

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Akezzon:
Thank you so much. Then I will NOT use the HSPL3 but the HSPL2 instead.

The difference between them I guess is the uninstall process. Right?

Need to do rename the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh on the sd-card and reboot to tri-color. If I am not mistaken.

Anyway, thank you. than I am a bit less "scared" to try it out.

Was mostly concerned about the Radio part and the revert back to the right SPL part.

And you covered them all in a simple way.

Cause if it goes back to 2.08.0000 instead of 1.42.0000 they would see that I have messed with the spl anyway and the warrenty would be flawed.

*Edit* Nope, I was wrong again... You don't need to uninstall it by the sd-card. =)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Coltrane23:
Tried to run HDPL2 but it cannot get a USB connection. I get a critical error informing me that the DFT HSPL2 cannot get a USB connection with my deviceView attachment 376271 message::mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
well, you can always use hspl3 to apply hspl, and then use hspl2 when you come to remove it, so you dont need to shy away from hspl3, its not gonna get you stuck or anything. Its just easier all round for you (and indeed most regular leo users) if you use HSPL2

HSPL3 was released mainly for tmous and telstra users, but works fine on all hd2.

boot into bootloader manually, THEN connect usb, THEN run HSPL. Right click it and 'run as administrator' and be sure to use a port around back of the PC, try them all. If you have a 64bit OS, use a different machine. If you have an xp machine around, use that.

Sync and flashing will be fine, its just HSPL that can be tricky.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Coltrane23:
Sorry to keep you so busy but I tried the manual boot but although my HD2 goes into bootloader ok it then says it "loading..." and thats before I even attach it to anything. It indicates "loading..." constantly and does not change from this status. As for the rest of my phone it keeps freezing and gives me very little access to anything. I get calls and can make a call with some effort but basically appear to be locked out of the home screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
sounds like you have a rom image on your sd card. Remove your sd card and try again.

Hey great advice looks like its clear as I have been able to run HSPL2. Was there any particular reason you suggested the T-Mobile rom as opposed to a generic one bearing in mind that my phone is unlocked?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yes, though usb is wayyy faster (not that it maters for radio, since theyre small)

I am having HD2 with Stock ROM version 1.48.720.2(71294) WWE and Radio version 2.05.51.05_2. Is it necessary to change a radio before flashing a customised ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That all depends on the rom you intend to use. If the rom is based on a TMOUS rom then yes you probably will need to change to an x.xx.50 radio. Read the thread of the rom you intend to use carefully as the chefs will often state the recommended radio to use.

hi.

I have recently baught a leo.

I really want to flash my rom and radio.

I realy dont understand much about the HARDSPL thing and dont want to brick my device.

i have

OS version 5.2.21864

manilla: 2.5.192...0

ROM: 1.42.405.1 (70124) WWE

Radio: 2.04.50.22_2

Id like to instal a portuguese rom. Can you please give me some advice about that aswell (probably arthemis v291_ptg?!)

thanks in advance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Im not sure what advise I can give you. HardSPL on the LEO is very easy and as long as you follow the instructions in the first post then you shouldnt run into any trouble.

I cant advise on a Rom as Im not familiar with portuguese Roms but just make sure you read some posts in the Roms thread first to see if there are any problems with it.

do you think i should flash my current Radio version?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
If you install HardSPL first and then flash the 2.12.50 radio (which you can find a link for in the HD2 Stickies Thread) then you will be all set for your Rom upgrade and wont have any incompatability problems.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Si6776:
Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm still trying to get my head round this whole HSPL thing. I currently have ROM version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE installed on my phone. It is unlocked and unbranded, and I am on O2-UK. Apparently, this is a German Vodafone ROM, and if I upgrade to the official newer ROM, this will rebrand and lock the phone to Vodafone.

The HTC site won't let me download an official ROM, as it says the serial on my phone is not compatible, but if I used the serial at the beginning of this thread to download an official ROM from the HTC site, do I still need to install HSPL to upgrade from one official ROM to another official ROM, and will this actually work, given the issue with my phone's serial number?

Secondly, if I subsequently want to uninstall HSPL, does this mean I would have to go back to the original German Vodafone ROM?

Basically, I want to upgrade my phone, but I want to keep it as 'official' as possible, without going down the cooked ROMs road.

Thanks!

Returning a handset to original SPL

Hi all,

I made the stupid mistake of sending back my HD2 for a warrenty repair (unable to use the touch screen- not recognising my finger pushes) without returning the boot loader back to SPL.

They want to either replace the whole motherboard because it had HSPL on it(!!!!!) and charge me £180 or £20 just to return the device back to me without repairing a thing.

If I reload SPL via the memory card method will that truely return it back to the original state? or will it still be detectable that I had HSPL on there?

I'm thinking of getting it back, put on SPL, then return it to HTC again. But will they pull my details my on their database and say it needs a whole new motherboard again?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Depending on what spl version you require, the easiest is to run HSPL2 and select one of the spl versions ending in .0000 (depending on what your stock spl was - it covers from 1.42 - 2.08 IIRC) The service centre will not be able to tell that the spl was changed from the device but as to whether they check the records, who knows though. Try sending it to another centre if possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ci00aaj:
Hi All,

I've just attempted to flash my (T-Mobile [UK] branded but unlocked) HD2 but have come across problems it seems.

I was able to successfully install HardSPL (got the 'successfully done' message and the bootloader shows 2.08.HSPL). I then went and got the 1.66 WWE ROM and flashed my HD2 following the instructions. This appeared to work (got confirmation message on computer) but the HD2 doews not get beyound the splash screen. I have tried a hard reset but that does not work.

What should i do now? have i bricked the phone :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
As long as your bootloader screen still shows 2.08HardSPL then you should be fine as yo ucan still flash roms and radios.

If it wont boot beyond the splash screen then it usually indicates a Radio incompatability. You just need to flash a new radio via bootloader and it should boot up fine.

Download the 2.12.50 radio from *HERE*

Extract the .nbh file to your pc and rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh

Copy the file to the ROOT of your Storage Card

Flash it via the bootloader method in post#1

Once the Radio has flashed and the phone reboots it should load into WindowsMobile fine.

If it doesnt work then you will have to flash a custom rom (one with a radio included) via the bootloader method to get everything working.

Mark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ci00aaj:
thanks mark, especially at this time of the morning! sticking that radio LEOIMG file on the memory card and booting into the bootloader does not seem to pick up the file...all i get is the bootloader screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ci00aaj:
sorry i had the memeorycard in FAT format not FAT32. Once i reformatted the card the phone picked up the radio and made the update. once it ok'd i reset the phone using the reset button on the back but unfortunately i'm still getting stuck at the splash screen.

how do i go about putting on a custom rom? and how do i know which ones have radios included? if possible i would like something as close to the stock build as possible so if you could think of one thast would be really helpful
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ci00aaj:
Hi guys, i can't seem to find a custom rom with the radio included? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As suggested i flashed to the 2.12.50 radio after unsuccessfully attempting to install the HTC generic WWE ROM but this did not help as i still had the splash screen staring at me this morning

I'm quite confused as to what i do next :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
im not aware of any custom roms that incude a radio as part of the same .nbh file. as far as i am aware, the (very few) that send a radio with teh download, the radio comes as its own seperate .nbh file which you flash seperately.

That being said, mark knows his stuff, so if he says they exist, then i deffer to his knowledge.

(unless he was sleepy at the time, and meant to say flash your original stock rom.... :) )

if it were me, i think i would try the following...

manually enter bootloader,

run HSPL2 (not hspl3) choose 1.66.hspl,

then manually into bootloader again, and flash the wwe rom again from usb.

it could be (but unlikely, but still worth a try) some issue with the spl 2.x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ci00aaj:
Ok, i think i'm going to give this a go because i'd really like to get my phone up and running again.

Just for some background, the reason i'm wanting to flash the WWE ROM is because i'm having an issue with the phone restarting itself every so often and i suspect its the t-mobile branded rom i'm currently running. Part of me thinks the phone is physcally defective.

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Well I was a BIT sleepy lol but alot of earlier Roms included a Radio and im sure Dutty included a Radio with all his Holy Grail Roms but all the newest Roms have the Radios left mainly for compatability.

Can you double check your SPL version in the bootloader as you didnt give me that information when I asked.

My recomendation would be to try downloading the latest Stock Rom from the HTC support page *HERE*, you can use one of the serial numbers in post#2 if you want to download the HTC rom or you can download the TMobile Rom and use your own serial number to download it. I think the latest official version on the HTC site is 1.72 which is pretty stable.

Then go into the Bootloader, connect your usb cable so that you have USB on the HD2 screen and flash the Stock Rom.

Let me know how it goes.

1) when i run the HSPL on my pc with the HD2 connected to my phone it does initiate the update process on the phone however the program on my pc times out as the usb connecting cannot be found! i then click ok to close the error box and it then closes down the program....however the update process continues on the phone and then shows the message "Update Complete, Update Success".....I dont get the "We hacked it" message that is supposed to appear?

2) When I go into bootloader mode to check if the HSPL installed correctly the version displayed is 1.42.000 XE and not 1.42.HSPL

Can anyone help?
