...not working with SPL 3.03.0000

Hello,

I've tried several times to install HSPL 2.08 using this tool, but after rebooting, when I check in the boot screen (tri-coloured), I still see the original 3.03.0000 SPL, so it hasn't work, although I can see the screen "We hack it" duing the installation and I confirm it (click OK)...

Any idea why?

Conrad
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] babyshaq:
I've been reading but am still slightly confused. Can someone confirm this for me

"4) 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."

I have a UK Tmobile leo. So no matter what rom I flash my Leo to, as long as I use the .nbh file taken from the Tmobile stock rom and perform the step as shown above, it will bring me back to the phone as it was on the day I got it i.e. rom 1.43 with radio 2.04, no youtube etc.

Also does it matter that my phone is locked to Tmobile?

HSPL trought Mac

Congratulations man, I would like to know which windows version are you using with vmware, because I got it with windows xp, and I get stuck at the spl screen and then nothing happens, same as other people, there is a solution provided but it seems to work for vista because I try to upgrade the drivers but the pc cannot find them online. :(, Thanks!

Now everything is ok, it was the operating system, I tried using Vista Ultimate (TinyVista) and it worked perfectly!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] giopirolli:
advice please...

hi

hoping someone can help me out here.....

when i try to run the HSPL program i seem to be encountering some problems...

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?

Cheers

Hi,

Could you let me know how and where I could find "RUU_signed.nbh" file to be copied to my microSD as backup?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Anyway .... I have successfully flashed the HSPL .....

Now it shows SPL 1.42.HSPL .....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Master_Rex:
well i have spl 1.42.0000 but it doesn't work for me...after a while there's a time out error message and nothing happens... :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
it happen to me too but you need to try again,first sync it then open the folder where you put the hspl.exe then install it,from there will work again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Moandal:
I had the same problem, which in my case was caused by not having the correct HTC USB drivers. This is how I fixed it.

1) Get your HD2 into bootloader mode.

2) Connect HD2 to a different USB port from the one you normally use to sync. It should install HTC USB Sync drivers.

3) Keep HD2 in bootloader mode and connected. Now run Windows Update.

4) Install the HTC USB Sync update

5) Reboot.

6) Try again!

Hope this works for you too.

Thanks for the guide!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxbait888:
How did you initially remove HSPL? Miri keeps freezing on me after I restored emails/contacts/calendar from SPB Backup that it became unuseable.

I copied a "ruu_signed.nbh" (IIRC this actually came with the Miri ROM download, ie appeared in the folder when I unzipped it) onto the microSD card and then renamed it "leoimg.nbh". (The Volume button down and power button down never seem to work with me when I was on Miri's ROM). Then went into Bootloader and it tells me that its still HSPL. Tried a few times but still HSPL. So I re-installed HTC ROM 1.48 and its still HSPL. Getting very frustrated that there's no detailed info about how to get rid of HSPL. Can you help?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Donald24:
Hm,

I've installed it yesterday - installation went smooth.

After installing these two different roms found here in the forum:

Duttys Leo Sense 2.5 Holy Grail V.03a |WWE|

[ROM][WWE][WM6.5.5][23518] freyberryROM.V5.3 - clean and fast ROM [11.01.2010]

..I had several problems with booting the device.

After two program installation marathons (and about 10-20 working softresets), the device hung showing me the bootscreen (with the three red version text lines at the bottom) Could not get it to boot without hard-resetting. Sometimes it even hard-resetted after a soft-reset.

This happened twice after two different rom-upgrades.. upgrade were done entering the hacked spl with vol down/ power on!

What could I've done wrong?

Using which version? Only hspl4 supports 3.03 spl
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Conrad-007:
I am using HSPL4, where I can see also SPL 3.03.0000 in the list of compatible versions. Then I choose HSPL 2.08 and I click on "Next". Everything seems to be ok, but after re-booting I still see the original SPL 3.03 version :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Try flashing a stock rom with a 2.x SPL version first using the SD-Card methode, and then try to install HSPL 2.08.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Its a reg hd2 so wont take any roms with 2.x spl, since they only come with tmous roms.

@conrad

The idea may work tho, find a rom on HTC (that it lets you download with your SN) version 1.66 or 1.72(1.72 for branded phone) and flash from SD card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Conrad-007:
problem solved!

Thanks a lot, samsamuel and ericdevet!

I have installed an old stock ROM, (but not with the SD card method, I have used the normal "utility" one, through usb) and then I was able to install hspl 2.08.

Best regards!

Miracle needed

Here's my situation:

European Leo

No longer has a micro-USB socket (damaged by me and finally removed by service)

Bootloader shows:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

How did I get here:

Flashed happily (NRGZ, MAGLDR, NAND Android, WP7).

Then my USB started to freak around so I flashed stock 3.14.

HSPL didn't got overwritten so I wrote 2.08.0000 (dumb, I know now :P) through HSPL software and sent unit for a repair.

They told me that the damage is too severe (MoBo replacement needed, which won't be covered by warranty) and sent it back with my USB socket in a separate bag...

So now I'm stuck with newest stock ROM on an old SPL (only 208MB RAM and rather unstable).

What I tried already:

Stock ROM from standard sdcard hang on "Loading..." screen.

I've got a goldcard (tested in my friends LEO - works) and tried flashing all stock ROMs available for my S/N (1.43, 1.48, 3.14, all WWE).

Always got stuck at "Loading..." screen.

Got a suggestion from a friend that it might be a busted RAM die, so I stripped ROMs with nbh editing tool to contain only SPL, but got the same effect ("Loading...").

Any ideas?

Or maybe even a solution? ;)

Any feedback really appreciated!

I fight with this a couple of weeks now...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Just pay for the replacement mobo, or try to get your hands on a 2nd hand LEO.

Or be bold and get out the solderingiron, and resolder the usb socket.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomus:
I already asked a pro about soldering it back and it's supposedly a no-go.

As for the new one... it's quite an expensive toy for a student.

But I have some breakthrough...

I've downloaded a 2.10 ROM for T-Mobile USA (the one with 2.08.0000 SPL) and it got pass through the "Loading..." screen and asks for confirmation right now.

Should I flash? It won't boot up, will it? (My unit is a UK one)

Any other conclusions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
The T-Mobile rom is for a phone with 1024mb rom, your's has only 512mb, so you can't flash it. It will brick it for sure.

There is however somewhere a referance to some guys in poland, that repair bricked phones. Maybe that they are an option.... (don't know how or where to find them. Maybe someone else knows)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you CAN flash tmous roms to regular hd2 with no problem at all, its only the other way around (regular rom on a tmous) that causes bricks. You would need to use your goldcard, of course, since it will detect that it isnt a tmous and fail.

If you can get 3.03.0000 spl, (im not convinced that the tmous 3.14 rom will update the spl, there are numerous posts indication that the tmous 3.14 runs on 2.x spl on a tmous, without rwequiring 3.03 spl) you may then be able to use your goldcard to flash as normal. (I 'believe' that spl 2.x on a regular leo causes issues with downgrading the spl)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Ah, ok thanks for the correction....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomus:
Flashing 3.14.531.1 with 2.10 SPL (very nice reference here) right now.

I hope it will be stable at least and will use the whole RAM...

Will let you know how it went in a minute.

Thanks a lot!!!

--------------------------- update

And RAM is back :D

Stable so far.

Will try now European stock and custom maybe...

--------------------------- update

EU Stock is still no-go - "Loading..." as before.

I actually don't get it... Why can't I simply update the SPL to 3.03.0000? Even with goldcard...

Downloading newest NRGZ atm. I have some hope as it works also on TOMUS models ;P

In the meantime I'll try 1.66 and 1.48 SPLs.

Once again - thanks! Phone is right now totally usable and 'frustration free' ;)

--------------------------- update

BTW, as expected SPL got updated to 2.10.0000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomus:
Custom ROM didn't go through either. I wonder why is that since it has no SPL in it...

It's like the SPL somehow 'knows' what am I flashing.

It won't accept edited .nbh files even if it's flashable TMOUS ROM without radio or OS...

So I conclude it collides somehow with goldcard backdoor?

Bootloader loads the image (hence "Loading..." instead of skipping all together like with non-gold card), but SPL won't let flashing begin.

What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Because its no longer a valid signed stock rom once you edit it, its now a cooked rom, so the phone wont accept it, plus goldcard won't either for same reason.

Hi, need help!!!

I have this screen

but in a different wording. Mine is :

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

After that, I tried to flash in HSPL4,

it show this error.

What should I do??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
This error is common if you attach your HD2 in normal mode and let the Flashing software put it in bootloader mode.

What you want to do is this:

1) Turn off your HD2

2) Press on the Volume Down button and keep it pressed while pressing the power button until you see the bootloader screen.

3) Now connect your HD2 to your PC and wait until the text in the white part of the screen changes from Serial to USB. (Windows might be installing drivers during this part)

4) After the text changed to USB, follow the normal flashing instructions....

Hope this helps.

How to uninstall HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
By running HSPL 4 from your PC
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Yes indeed. You run the HSPL4 software on your PC.

You then get the choice to install the following:

2.08.0000

2.08.HSPL

3.03.0000

3.03.HSPL

Choose one of the .0000 versions.

After flashing and rebooting, you should have a nice legit SPL on your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] es0teric:
Actually I want to uninstall hspl4. i can't install magldr. so want to try hspl3.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
HSPL3 and HSPL4 are the version names of the HSPL delivering package.

If you want to use magldr, you need to flash HSPL 2.08.

Read the first 4 post with care so you understand.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] es0teric:
Thanks. But how do I uninstall?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Instead of the 2.08.HSPL you choose the 2.08.0000 option.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] es0teric:
what do you mean? how do i uninstall or just flash in the old version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
You just flash a non HSPL version.

You should read the first 10-20 posts of this thread before asking questions.

Many questions are answerd there.

Revert to stock ROM

I'm sending my device in for warranty repair, so I'm going back to the stock ROM from NAND flashed Android.

I downloaded the US T-Mobile ROM from their site, extracted and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh, put that file on the card, and reset while holding the volume down button.

Now I'm stuck on the tricolor screen that reads:

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x05

Serial

I'm stuck on this screen, and afraid to try to do anything else out of fear of bricking my phone.

What should I do next?

EDIT: Found out what I was doing wrong. I was holding the volume down button too long, so it was skipping the boot loader. Pressing shorter got me into the menu, and I was able to reflash with no problem.

I can't believe it's this easy!

My only question is, did this change everything back to when it was shipped to me? I have the T-Mobile WM USA ROM running now. This changed back my SPL too, right? Also, do I need to change the radio, or did the stock ROM take care of that for me too? I don't want to hear that I voided the warranty over some little thing I forgot to do.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
If you go back to the bootloader coulor screen and it no longer says HSPL, your good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] shibumi:
good idea to double check

it reads:

PB1120 SS-B3

SPL-2.10.000 8G XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x05

i'm pretty sure that's correct. i'll look it up.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Ok, to help i have to know some things about your system.

1) what OS are you running and is it 32 or 64 bit.

2) what USB connector do you use. On the Front or on the Back of the PC.

3) Is the USB version 1.x, 2.x or even 3.x.

4) Did you try different cables and how long is the cable you use.

5) If you go to your devicemanager when the HD2 in bootloadermode is connected, do you see it there without any errors? (If you see an error there, just rightclick and Uninstall+delete drivers, remove HD2, reboot system and reconnect HD2 in bootloadermode. it should redownload and reinstall the drivers)

so with spl3.03 you can't flash directly to hspl4 / hspl3.03 in order to run android?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
To run Android from NAND, you need MAGLOADER and MAGLOADER needs HSPL 2.08.

It does not matter if you use the HSPL3 or HSPL4 package from the first few posts to flash it.

PROBLEM...Please help!

I've updated today to some new custom rom...all was ok...i even reinstalled the radio .14 version..all was good...

Then decided try install WM7 which in instructions said install again Hard SPL. i've downloaed the file hspl2_run from this thread...ran it ..it recognized my version 1.66 i said yes...next... then it installed it...then rebooted into the 3 color screen...

Now trying install again the rom... or even install the radio again...nothing works...its stuck each time on "Loading...." instead offer me the upgrade...

please help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
You let it auto choose the spl and since you say it offered you 1.66 (tho you didn't say 1.66.0000 or 1.66.hspl, HUGE difference) and since you already had hspl, it will have offered you the stock spl (hspl.exe always offers you the opposite of what is already there) which tells us you were on 1.66.hspl before. (which wouldn't have worked for android / win7,

So, two things,

One, you no longer have hspl, hence no flashing,

And

Two, 1.66 won't work for win 7 anyway, since it requires magldr, and magldr ONLY works with 2.08.hspl.

Run hspl2, choose 2.08.hspl, then you are good to go.

All in all,and no offence, but you don't seem to have done enough research yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
For WM7 you need Magloader and HSPL 2.08.

HSPL not downgrading

HI, im trying to get my phone back to the company state. I have installed HSPL 2.08. And i have installed android NAND on the phone. I downloaded the original rom from the htc support website, and i looked around the forum. People said that if you install an official rom, the SPL will go back to the original. I did install the official rom, but the HSPL is still the same...

I do not know what the original SPL version is. Now i am aware that if i send the phone with HSPL, the warranty is off. and my problem is that i do not remember what the original SPL is. do you believe that downgrading to any SPL version is fine? or are they going to realise that a different SPL has been installed and the warranty is off?

My HD2 is German Vodafone and the official rom i installed is this rom .

Any help would be very appreciated :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericdevet:
Any SPL version is OK, but if you had HSPL 2.08, then the best thing is to install SPL2.08.

You can do that with one of the HSPL packages in posts 2,3 and 4
