What are the main differences of using a goldcard or using hspl to flash to 1.48.405.2?
I have already flashed to 1.48.405.2 with a goldcard but I was wondering if there were any befefits/disadvantadges to flash using HSPL.
What does HSPL offer that the goldcard flash doesnt?
Gold card lets you flash official roms only, you need sspl or hspl to flash cooked roms.
oh ok. is there any other advantadges other than bieng able to flash cooked roms?
Ive just tried to install the "SIM contacts update" from the HTC website.
I went through the install process but at 4% it returned the error: ERROR 294 INVALID VENDOR ID.
I did use a goldcard to flash to 1.48.405.2
If I use HSPL will I have this issue?
Sorry can't help any further, im a shallow paddler in the sea of ROM cooking and what not i'm afraid. There are a fair number of threads that mention the update you talk about, , the best advice i can say is read everything, read it all again, and only then start to actually 'do' anything.

Like I said at 7.30pm this evening - No. It will work fine with HSPL.
Hi,
I have a little issue: I HSPL my HD2 no problem with . It's just my phone have a hardware problem & I wanna go back to Original SPL 1.42000. I found the original rom made for my branded handy
extract and rename the .nbh
format sdcard in proper format.
neither in sync nor in bootloader mode. Invalid vendor ID. Rom Upgrade issue for me.
How can I uninstall the HSPL ?
PS/ I tried all words given by bepe and other's concerning issues. I didn't found it. I must sent back my phone soon for warrantly reason...
Did you try to install the ROM from HTC website or did you find an Orange specific ROM?
It is an orange specific rom. cause it is a branded handy.
I even try from HTC website one but no satisfaction. I think it is normal by this one ?
I have a non branded "german" device.
I decided to go back from the HSPL to the stock SPL.
I wanted to flash with the Turkey 1.61 rom to have after this procedure the newest radio 2.07 on it.
I have followed the steps from bepe
But my SD card has a "goldcard" file on it.
Go to the HSPL thread and see my post #383
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
I have noted down all outputs during flashing.
At least I would give it a try and use a "Goldcard" to get back your original rom.
Hope it helps & Good luck!

In addition to what the previous poster described:
One can definitely flash the original ROM using the SD card to uninstall HSPL.
Many people do it by accident...
That being said, one question: Are you sure you have the correct ROM file?
You know, the error you mention only arises if you have to answer "no" to that question.

SD card should be formated FAT32. The original one is FAT16
What does it exactly mean: "One can definitely flash the original ROM using the SD card to uninstall HSPL"
We can uninstall HSPL by loading the .nbh from the official ROM from htc website from fat32 formated sd card ?
If the answer is yes, I have done it many times but no satisfaction.
Yes I use the proper and official htc and/or orange .nbh.
How to get out please.

If you do all steps in the correct way, flashing the original nbh with the SD card will definitely overwrite HSPL with stock SPL.
It has happened to quite a lot of people who were not aware of the fact that this happens when flashing a stock ROM with this method.
When you get a wrong carrier ID error message, you don´t have the right ROM, as the device will only allow to flash ROMs with the correct CID, be it HTC or operator stock ROMs.
Did you check the SPL version after the process with the SD card? If it says 1.42.0000, why don´t you try flashing with the original RUU?
yes confirm

I confirm: it happends to me: when I flashed the 1.61 HTC official rom from my SD, it replace the HSPL by the original SPL of HTC.
hi all, just want to share..
stock spl is 1.42 and after hspl 1.42hspl or 1.42.6666 if i'm not mistaken.
if to unsintall this hspl, i use flash using sd card method and it will re write radio and spl back to 1.42.
i also using turkey stock rom, but we cannot flash turkey stock rom using sd card method as it will rewrite spl and will give you error. wrong region. if this happen, in 3 colour mode, run you hspl. when it restart, make sure you push volume down button to get back in tricolour mode. if you not pushing vol down button, it will also boot in tricolour but hspl wont work, happen to me, spl back to 1.42.000. the flash using custom ruu.
just sharing with you guys.

It should be LEOIMG.nbh.
dont forget you might want to use MTTY to do task29 to format the device instead of CustomRUU.exe
tbh you can probably use the RUU from HTC if you have HSPL anyway.
p.s. yeah LEOIMG.nbh - LEOING.nbg made me smile - finger-twister
Okay I have tested restoring SPL1.42.0000 on a vendor-id'd phone.
Tried 2 ways of formatting the SD card:
a. formatting the sd card to FAT32 via Diskdrive mode connected to pc
b. Formatted in HD2 using onboard utility in HD2.
Tried 2 images but not the vendor-id image since I do not have that image.
a. Vendor ROM but in different language
b. Stock ROM HTC
Tried 2 ways of changing SPL back to 1.42.0000
a. Reset + vol down shows a 1 second message "Checking.", after that it immediately goes to the blue-green-red bootscreen showing bootloader 1.42.HSPL
b. From bootloader connect USB to pc and flash using stock RUU.
All combinations of above I can not restore SPL. Must be because HD2 requires correct ROM image + correct vendor-id.
Is there possibly a way to remove HSPL in some way without the original vendor image? Goldcard?
Check out my video on reverting back to stock spl
Its in my signature.
Not sure if its the same for locked devices though, just have a look

very good manual that is. In video manual is exactly the procedure I did. However the vendor-id'd HD2 won't get to the point where the image can be flashed. It gets to the point up to 1:37-1:38 in your video where the word "Checking..." blinks in an instant. After that it returns to bootloader screen.
So no luck yet

Oh sorry man
Goldcard also tried and no luck.
Every time I reboot to bootloader it gives the colored screen, proceeds to white screen with blue letters, in an instant shows: "Loading..." ..followed by: "Checking..." ..and then returns to colored bootloader main screen.
edit:
I keep thinking whether it is normal or not that the white screen doesn't show any kind of confirmation that it did actually find any nbh file whether it is valid or not. Maybe it just exits when the nbh is not valid, that may be the case.
However I have now ran the routine a whole lot of times and make zero progress.
Maybe better continue the search for the correct ROM to flash with.
just try one of the official roms posted in the official roms thread. don't try 1.61 - only 1.43/48
I have tried all official roms posted including 1.43 and 1.48 and up without success. The bootloader wouldn't go further after having checked the SD card contents. It did not work at all.
Finally now I bricked (I hope temporarily) my HD2 by trying to install the latest official 2.02 from the RUU.
Strange things have happened here.
I had earlier copied an 148 or so nbh to sd card. Bootloader would't work out as explained in posts above. So after all (with card with 148 nbh still inside) I figured it was time to check what ROM 2.02 would do, since I believe it would overwrite all SPL including HSPL since it is a v2 SPL. At least I hoped.
When I opened the RUU, it did reboot the phone as it is supposed to do with RUU.
Few things happened:
a. The phone booted in bootloader and showed me the white step screen which indicated there was a nbh about to be flashed. This was the nbh on the card!
b. The RUU errored with error 260 that the connection was lost. I have never lost a connection, must be because file on sd card took control.
c. Since connection was lost and the phone wanted a flash from the sd card I pressed vol up to continue update. it did start updating... but at about 9% I got a big triangle /exclamation mark, and HD2 stopped updating.
Reboot. Guess what??? SPL 1.42.0000 in bootloader now. From the nbh on the card.
But NO boot, NO radio .... After all I managed to destroy phone and HSPL.
Had to goldcard my way back in. However, problem solved!
so I've created a kitchen for a new windows build (21890), by copying the old kitchen, and adding the new windows build into the copied kitchen. Everything got processed correctly, no conflict of older builds or whatsoever, as the kitchen says the rom is generated correctly.
Then I use the custom ruu to flash the rom, and after 100%, I got a message that the image is corrupted. I rebuild & flash a few times, and it's the same.
So I took the rom, flash it via sd card, and it works! And I thought it could be the cable problem, so I use another cable, on another usb port, and this time round it works. However, subsequent regeneration & flash of the rom fails again. so it's not about the cable/port, something is amiss here.
so enough of long story, what could be the possible reason?? I have been cooking & flashing my own roms w/o problem for the last few weeks except today. So it can't be my notebook problem (which is running on win7 64bit)
anybody? I tried flashing an older rom, w/o problem.
just the new one that I've added the latest build of winmo. No problem flashing from sd card, just not able to flash via usb.
did you install the reliability update for win7 x64 the other day?
ive had issues with using sspl since, sometimes enterbootloader doesnt enter bootloader..
on my win 7 x32 machine at work i have no issues
as i use the 202 spl i tend to use sspl to flash my own roms..

what's reliability update? I checked the updates that happened in the last 2 days, it's just update for MS security essential and windows defender, nothing else.
I suspect it could be the kitchen problem, as I cooked my rom together with radio. Somehow, I moved the source radio nb file, and it appeared to have caused the problem despite me updating the path of the source radio. I disable the radio, cook it, ok. Re-add back the radio, cook it, ok again.
hopefully it stays that way.
BTW, I tried spl 2.00, I can't flash any cook rom ,so those folks who said spl 2.00 is a supercid spl is wrong. I suppose you are able to flash custom rom with spl 2.00 because of sspl? do you need goldcard for sspl, or it can be done like HD?
I'm using the 2.00 spl also and using sspl to flash a new build rom, the OS on PC is W7/32

teh 200 SPL is MFGR, or CID unlocked, which is region free.. or the same as having a gold card.
nothing to do with flashing custom roms, as they still need to be signed by HTC
as sparkie confirms, just use sspl to flash custom roms with it.. (as long as you run sspl while the device is booted not already in 200 bootloader mode).

do I need goldcard to do sspl? Thats what I read before I plunge into hspl few weeks ago.
edit: oh so what you are saying is that the stock spl 1.42 requires gold card to achieve mfgr, whereas 2.00 spl is already mfgr so Ican just do sspl directly w/o any need for goldcard?
I flashed now several times in spl 2.00 mode, when it freezes because I made a not bootable rom, I have to flash the 2.02 rom again and after that i flash again with sspl
it could be the LeoCustomRUU.exe file you have may cause the problem. Who knows? Have you tried hex compare the RUU files?
Dear All,
I decided to add the miri custom ROM. I'm on official 1.66 rom WWE with radio 2.06. I read in this forum that I have to downgrade to 1.48 in order ro be able to SPL. I downloaded the 1.48 from the thread of Leo official roms in this forum. The process stopped at 1% telling me "Invalid vendor". then I restarted my device but the GSM network is not working.
Please help how could I go back to 1.48 to SPL my device.
i want to hard spl but my spl is 1.66.0000
how to hard spl ??
You need the ROM that originally came with your HD2, flash it using the SD card method and then you can put HSPL on the device

That will only help if the original spl on the stock rom is 1.42.0000, which with a 1.66 based rom I'm guessing not. HSPL currently only works if the spl is 1.42.0000 and in cases where it isn't you need to either upgade or downgrade to 1.42 first.
i can not flash by memory card but i have error vender id
in goldcard i have problem too, this is vender id error
is any hspl for spl 1.66.0000 ? ?
Edit !!
i can update my rom to energy by sspl but it still in HTC bootscreen
i need hard spl
please help

helppppppppp
Who is your provider? you need the 1.48 ROM from your provider to flash back to SPL 1.42 via SD card. If your phone isn't vendor locked (although it sounds like it is) then you can get the 1.48 ROM for your region from HTC direct
Might be a lesson to be learned here to read everything fully before attempting anything
i have 1.48 rom and test SD card method but i have vender id error
Try another one of these 1.48 roms to see if perhaps any one of them work
http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
As has been stated by EddyOS you can't always just flash to any stock 1.48 rom, you need to try to get a 1.48 based rom for your operator and that is why you are getting the invalid vendor problem. I luckily did not have a problem and I see some other users are saying that the Goldcard method also no longer works. I can't comment on that, but you may want to try that option out.
a question
for ugprade to 1.66 i need goldcard ?
because gold card is worked by active sync but my device in still in htc boot screen
You need to get a 1.48 ROM for your region/vendor and flash using the sd card method, nothing else will get you back to SPL 1.42 so don't bother trying.
If you don't understand then you shouldn't have flashed in the first place
ok. i tested 1.48 and 1.61 rom by sd method but see Not Allowed error.
i will download 1.66 and test it
thanks a lot
Are you getting the 1.48 ROM that is from your region/vendor?

seems you are just flashing any old rom. You need to find one that is specific to your provider (voafone, o2, tmobile, whatever) otherwise you will continue to get invalid vendor.

hi,
a little fusrated here, Ive been trying to get my hd2 (originaly purchased from vodaphone in greece) to boot into windows.
i have tried flashing all diffrent ROMS with including, with HSPL installed (all versions from HSPL2):
from SD: original greek ROM from htc site, successful once but still no boot
usb: original WWE rom and UK vodaphone updated rom (1.77), also several cooked roms with radio version 2.08.50.05 and TASK29 flashed before attempting.
Even after several successful flashes from HTC offical ROM (which include radios if im not mistaken) the phone still doesnt boot, white htv screen or silver warning sign on black backround appear.
am i making a total noob mistake here, i have in my mind followed every combination of HSPL number, radio, HTC offical ROMS and even the HTC_ELL (greek rom) from SD. the only one i havent managed to find is the vodaphone GREEK rom from vodaphone.gr
any help at all would be excellent, its been a week of sleepless nights here, i really lossing hope.
this is hell! please help.

Well urs has a Vodafone CID lock.
So flash the stock Vodafone ELL rom using sd-card, or flash HTC ELL using goldcard!
i though that there was no need to CID unlock if you have a version of HSPL on your device, i never even though of that.
I still cannot locate the the offical vodaphone ELL ROM (which i dont really want as it is in greek).
back to the start i suppose ?
Well ur bootloader seems to be corrupted. So we need to go back to the roots. And then start again, so that's why we need stock rom, or flash stock rom using goldcard!

i've had no luck with flashing the stock ROM with SD, none of the HSPL2 versions will load from SD anymore (just a double flash of the screen).
i did try now to flash the ROM you gave me today (above) and get that rom's splash screen "not for sale" appear but still no boot.
should i try a task29 again? what to do if wont even boot leoimg from SD ??
