[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Did you flash the US Rom via sd card? That is what you should not have done as the hspl has now been overwritten by the 2.08.0000 spl and if believe you are now stuck. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm afraid you may now very well be stuck with a little bit of a problem.

AFAIK, HSPL2 only works on the PB81100 model. The US model is PB81120 and that also has it's own specific HSPL2 version. There is currently not one for the Telstra PB81110 model. Cotulla said they would make a version when they make their next release, but I'm not sure when that will be (or even if??). The old adage - "if it ain't broke don't fix it" would be appropriate here, you could have gotten by perfectly with 1.42.hspl and there is no real need to upgrade to 2.08.hspl

I'm not sure if a Gold Card can help you, but that is possibly your only hope. Sorry I don't know anything more abou the Gold Card as I've never used one, but if you try to contact mskip he may be able to point you in the right direction.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
@k2trill

correct, now stuck at 2.08.0000

yea gold card is the only way forward now, (unless/until cotulla fixes telstra model id in hspl2)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k2trill:
yes, that is what I did, so now I need to search for gold card instructions. been a long time since I've delt wit that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikafox:
Perfect!!

Easy way to crack my brother in law device.

Device: HD2 Tmobile USA

Status: Test enviroment...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicene:
I had similar experience

when i tried to delete the hspl 1.42

i carelessly flashed a 1.71 drive based rom by sd card

after that, my spl was overwritten by the 1.66 one

i cannot flash anything except using sspl, which can only flash roms, not radio

my suggestion is, find out where your device from, telstra one, right?

then get the "RUU_Leo_Telstra_WWE_1.49.841.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.11_Ship.exe" .(this is the original rom from telstra, you can find it by google or in this forum)

open it with winrar, find the "RUU_signed.nbh", rename "LEOIMG.nbh", put it into a 1G card, then put the card into device and Voldown+power... everything done.

remember, you must use the telstra original rom because you dont need a goldcard.

as i know, we cannot make the goldcard any more since the website is not working now
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Hey guys, I have the T-Mobile HTC HD2 with the 2.08 SPL.

Keep getting an error that says Bad Model ID.

Stupid question, but I read that HSPL doesn't work with telstra. How can you tell which one you have? Leo or telstra?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k2trill:
I have the original Telstra ROM. I have tried loading it on a card after format and renaming it leoimg, etc. etc but it will not load. It only hangs on the grey screen that says "Loading" in blue or whatever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicene:
so if you know chinese, try this one

http://www.playpda.net/viewthread.php?tid=45520&highlight=%BD%F0%BF%A8 (i don't know if it is legal to put another forum website here, but im just trying to help)

we have no way to get a "goldcard.img"

but this thread give you one

just try
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alwayslearning:
have flashed back to the original SPL? if not you may need to.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
People need to read more. Telstra HD2 will only work with HSPL (the original) as they have the 1.42 spl, however you can still flash whatever base rom you want.

HSPL2 does NOT support Telstra models YET. A newer version of HSPL or an update will come when cortulla / bepe have made it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k2trill:
Where does it say the Telstra model is not supported yet!

The ONLY prerequisites listed are and I quote...

To install/uninstall this HSPL there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:

SPL 1.42.0000 SPL 1.42.HSPL

SPL 1.62.0000

SPL 1.66.0000 SPL 1.66.HSPL

SPL 2.07.0000

SPL 2.08.0000 SPL 2.08.HSPL

Other versions are not supported. (They are rare however...)

Now you can uninstall HSPL via same program, you no longer need to flash rom from SD card!

In HSPL2 you can select which version of SPL you want to install in the device.

There included 6 SPLs:

OSPL 1.42, OSPL 1.66, OSPL 2.08 (Original SPL)

HSPL 1.42, HSPL 1.66, HSPL 2.08 (Hard SPL)

Remember that some ROMs have old SPLs, for example 2.10 ROM have 2.08 SPL, 1.72 ROM have 1.66 SPL and etc!

You can install any of them using HSPL2.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Kurni:
Chill out :)

Telstra ROM has been asked numerous times in this thread, there are many repeated answers throughout the thread. unfortunately the 1st post has not been updated to reflect this.

I admit it is somewhat confusing if we just rely on the 1st post, but if we read the thread a bit it will soon be very obvious that Telstra isn't supported.

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
its been posted on every page for the last 50 pages. Using the search instead of posting first then thinking later would cover any problems.

Not trying to be a smart arse, but you need to not try make someone look the fool when you obviously have only read the one post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] omniatoo:
I have tried all variants of HSPL on telstra hd2 and cannot get to work. Keep getting "Invalid vendor id"

I upgraded the rom when i bought the phone on htc's official website (regretting that move bigtime) which im fairly certain is the reason why hspl isnt working as it has the latest spl & rom version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
@k2trill

the posts advising you to download this and that official rom and flash from sd card...... wont work. 2.08.0000 wont let itself be downgrad4ed even by sd card flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k2trill:
@samsamuel

I know. I PM'd bepe and Cotulla and a couple other members to see if they had any insight a few days ago. no replies yet. I hope somethin comes up...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MARIANOTE:
Thanks for HSLP!!!

sorry, but is necessary hard reset before use HSPL?

or is the same thing?

thanks again

PS: i read a lot, but not all the post!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
no not necessary

no not the same thing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
So let me get this right! HSPL/HSPL2 DOESN'T WORK on TMOUS HTC HD2!!?? Cause it isn't working for me!!! (Bad Model ID)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicene:
Does it mean i successfully made a gold card?

or only 2.08.0000 has that program that preventing downgrade?

coz i made the gold card using a goldcard.img from internet, not for my sd card

i thought it should be not working

so i would like to upload the file

i succeeded to downgrade the spl from 1.66 to 1.42

so....

@k2trill

good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
yea, goldcard will work on all the 1.x spl. spl2 closed that gap.

theres a thread that talks about this started by xmoo in , , erm, feb, in teh rom development section, from before hspl2 came out, , several people got stuck on spl 2 when the tmous roms first leaked. The goldcard will let you load an official 2.x rom onto your phone (if it isnt working, ) which then lets sspl flash roms, but you cant change the radio with sspl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] The_Scientist:
Thank you very much guys great work...now about to try some nice roms!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k2trill:
how do I use gold card when my phone will not boot passed the tri-colored bootloader screen?? I cannot establish an activesync connection without a ROM loaded and the phone fully booted, correct?

newbie here, ow do i remove the hardspl and reset it back to defualt "out of the box"

many thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jrmatics:
i was getting stuck when i ran the hspl2. cannot establish usb connection even after my hd2 was already connected via wmdc vista 64. u can put ur phone into bootloader mode and then connect ur phone to ur computer w/out wmdc and run the hspl2 and it worked fine. i found it also worked on my touch pro when i couldnt sync up with my computer to install a new NRGZ rom. this may have been covered already, but this will save u a little search time at this point:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
There's a separate TMOUS HD2 forum. You'll find the specific HSPL version there. Alternatively you can download it here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5983094&postcount=981
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you are using HSPL2, just rerun the program and select the appropriate stock spl ending in .0000 ;) and you'll also need to flash your original rom obviously. If you are using the original HSPL1 you will need to flash the stock rom via the sd card method which will remove hspl and return you to your original spl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] formuk:
hmm... every time i download the 1024 hspl file it says file corrupted in the zip.. help?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Try turning off your antivirus and then download. Some av's see it as a virus and they probably corrupt the file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Thanks man, I didn't see that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] h20pt:
I was just wondering.. If i have HSPL2 installed on my phone, do i need to rerun it again, install a stock spl (one of HSPL2 included) and then flash a stock rom?

Can't i just install a stock rom via HSPL2 to regain warranty?

One more thing.. With HSPL1, i just need to flash stock rom via SD Card to regain warranty right? Can i use this official rom avaiable on HTC site(ROM VERSION:1.66.410.1) to regain warranty via SD Card? Or does it has to be an older ROM?

Thank you so much :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I haven't tried it, but I would first install the stock rom and then run hspl2 to revert to the stock spl. You can't flash a rom via hspl2.

With hspl1, yes you would need to flash the rom via sd card to overwrite hspl. The rom you use should ideally be the original rom, unless your device is eligible for a rom upgrade.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] h20pt:
What's really confusing me is: My hd2 is sim-locked by TMN(portugal network). How can i get that exact same ROM that came with the phone(with proper portuguese language)? :(

EDIT: I just came up with another question. After i install HSPL for the first time, should i first install the RADIO and then the ROM or vice-versa?

Thank you for your time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you go to Settings\About Phone\Software information and take note of the OS version, ROM version, Radio version etc and then you need to search for a copy of the rom before upgrading. You can try using Google to locate it.

Note: This hspl will not unlock the simlock. That needs to be done separately.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] h20pt:
I know that and i really don't care about that :p

But thank you for the heads up :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] h20pt:
I wrote this edit on my previous reply, but probably nobody will see it and answer it, so i'll just write it here again ;)

I just came up with another question. After i install HSPL for the first time, should i first install the RADIO and then the ROM or vice-versa?

Thank you for your time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can do it either way, but Radio and then rom is safer/easier for noobs, as some roms don't boot if you don't have the correct radio installed and then you to will be asking the question at the bottom of my signature :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] h20pt:
I've passed the last 2 days reading all posts, tutorials, faqs, looking for the best ROM and suitable RADIO, etc.. but i still hadn't find any info about my previous questions. Now that i think i can do it safelly and right, i'll try it. I just got my hd2 today and i really didn't fell like brick it already :D

And actually i had already decided i was going to flash my hd2 exactly with the same ROM and RADIO you have on yours so... :p

Thank you SO MUCH for your help! ;)

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If only all noobs were as wise as you. Most seem to flash and then ask, or can't understand why their phone is bricked.

Good choice for your first rom ;)

Hi, I have been searching and found nothing. I have a Leo that come from testing and I would like to have the benefits of cooked roms, but I have SPL 1.32.0000

Can I try to flash any HSPL so I can flash a cooked ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
First try to see if your operator has an official upgrade to update you to one of the official spl's and then do hspl. Try going to HTC for your area and input your device serial number.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Smartmob:
My device originaly came with 1.48 WWE EastEurope...and I upgraded it on 1.66 EastEurope...then on custom rom. Now I wanna put back stock SPL and remove HSPL.

Do I need to flash it with original 1.48 or I can with newer 1.66 WWE EastEurope??

Thanks ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
either will be fine.

sorry if this is asked but i have searched and found nothing. So what is hspl2 and what is difference between hspl and hspl2. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jagger2k:
Am wanting to install custom roms on my device but i dont know which hspl to install as there is hspl and hspl2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
HSPL2 is an updated release of HSPL. HSPL only worked if you had an spl version of 1.42.0000 and changed this to 1.42.hspl

HSPL2 is more versatile, it allows you to choose between 1.42, 1.66 and 2.08 spl and hspl. you can also easily revert from hspl back to original spl simply by running the tool. With HSPL you needed to flash a stock rom via sd card in order to remove hspl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Use HSPL2, it's more flexible ;)

Hey ! I need help.. I keep getting Critical error : USB CONNECT FAILED. What am I doing wrong? Where should I save the zip file before I open it up? Maybe I am missing a small detail.?. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
usual reason for usb connect failed is either

using a usb port on a hub/on the case of the computer - use one round the back

not running hspl as administrator - right click and "run as administrator"

try those and report back

what size sd card? many people reported problems with cards bigger than 2gb.

ALso, you can just run HSPL2 and choose to reinstal the original spl from there. (The ones that end .0000 are official, the ones that end .HSPL are , , well, , hspl.)

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xebozone:
I have a new telstra HD2 with SPL 1.66 on it. HSPL2 does not work. It reboots the phone, then gets stuck at "waiting for USB connection". If I retry while in bootloader mode, it returns a bad model ID error.

I assume this new model is unsupported, unless there is something else I can try?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You will need to use HSPL1, because as you pointed out HSPL2 is not supported.

Both of you will need to try to get an older Telstra version so that you can flash to a rom that has a 1.42.0000 spl.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mtbboy41:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That one would probably do it, can't confirm as I haven't tried ;). You should just be able to connect your device and run the exe from the pc.

Your earlier message said you got a bad model id error and now you are saying that it prompts for a code? Are you trying to put another non TMO sim card in? HSPL does not sim unlock your device. Which rom are you trying to flash?
