Hello all,
I recently purchased HD2, the first thing I did was going to HTC website and downloaded the latest ROM Version: 1.66.415.3, now my SPL version is 1.66000 XE. I searched the forum before posting this thread, but I did not find a clear post that answers my questions, and I am still a newbie in modding field, so please bare with me.
This ROM includes Arabic language support which I need, but its quite bugged, in away that most of the menus are in Arabic now, and even though I chose from the settings to have them in English, even disabling multi-language support wouldn't change the menus to English and they still are in Arabic.
More over some bugs, like the Arabic supported Keyboard will always play a very high click sounds, even if I reduce the volume, put it on Silent or Vibration, everything will be silent except for the Arabic Keyboard would still play the clicks.
So i thought there must be a fix for it, and the best possible way to do it in my opinion is Via installing HSPL, now the problem is I can no where find how I am able to Roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL, since i have SPL 1.66, So my question is, Does anyone know how and where can I roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL ?
My second question, Is there any Custom Rom that have full Arabic support meaning I can type and read Arabic Websites/Messeging/Email/MMS and such ? I saw Seatone's ROM that indicates Arabic Support, but I cant find anywhere to what extent it is ?
My third question is after rolling back to SPL 1.42 from SPL 1.66 and installing HSPL (assuming that this process is possible), Can I update to Newer SPL and still have HSPL installed ? or I would have to remove the HSPL in order to update my SPL ?
My last question is regarding RADIOS, can I install multiple RADIOS or I can only have one installed at a time ? Also for Backing up my ROM on my device (assuming I dont have the software on the PC), how do I do it ?
Eventually thanks for your time and consideration to help me in this matter, looking forward to hear some answers !!
All the official roms can be download here.

once download, I think you can just follow the procedures for removing HSPL to put it back to a standard factory state.
Thanks for the reply, but i think you got me wrong.
I dont have HSPL on my device currently, I have Factory SPL version 1.66, I want to install HSPL, but in order to do so I need SPL 1.42, the link you provided only includes SPL 1.43 ... and from what I read I HAVE to HAVE SPL 1.42 in order to install HSPL, please correct me if I am wrong ?

Help
Good Night.
I have a HTC HD2 with the 1.66.0000 XE SPL, and with the following ROM "RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship"
Because i update the ROM from the HTC Website, and it gave me that ROM, after i update it i notice that it is in NLD (Nederland), now i want to install other ROM and i Can't.
I want to do HSPL but to do that i need the SPL-1.42.000, to have that SPL i have tried to install other ROMS, but it had failed all the times with the following Error ("ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID ").
Need some help with this, because e don't understand NLD (LOL), and i want to install a PTG ROM.
.
Can anyone give me a hand? I have Telstra HD2 using on ATT in the U.S. and flashed to this ROM
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When I check the bootloader it says
SPL-1.42.HSPL
However when I try to HSPL it says.
You must have SPL 1.42.0000 and errors out. I read that if I flash any shipped OEM ROM it'll put it back to 1.42.0000 but it doesn't appear to be doing that.
Any help would be appreciated I'm trying to get any HSPL on this thing. I've also tried HSPL2 to no avail. It said bad ID or something.
Thank you in advance.

There are NO 1.43 roms that will work on your tmous, you WILL permanently destroy it if you do manage to flash one. The tmous will ONLY take roms version 2.x or higher
you are very lucky that you dont have hspl installed, else it would let you flash, and your phone would be dead.
So what do we do if we have tmous and want to install HSPL?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, the main rom is the wm portion, but the radio also comes in rom format for flashing purposes.
- Does they both have Cooked versions ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, the wm roms have cooked versions, the radio roms are normally just extracted from official roms.
- Being Locked or Unlocked to a specific network, to which ROM does this relate ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing roms does not impact on the locked/unlocked status of the phone.
- Do i have to Flash both .. or as my needs ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing the rom or radio is up to you. Depending on which rom you choose, some roms do require a specific radio version.
- How can i know my current ROM version ?

I see you have gotten this information .
- How can i know if it is up to date ?
Click to expand...

Go to HTC.com and enter your serial number. As you got your device from the US, you will have to check up there as the devices are area bound wrt updates.
- When do i need to upgrade [Flash a new ROM] ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is up to you, there is no "must" update.
- How can i know the most suitable cooked WM ROM and Radio ROM to flash instead of mine ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A matter of personal preference. wrt radios, try a few different ones to see which one works best for you.
- Will my phone stay unlocked .. OR will it become locked to T-Mobile again ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As above, flashing does not affect the locking\unlocking, so it will remain unlocked.

just a warning..... it sound like you have a tmous, therefore you ned to be careful what you flash.
ONLY flash roms or radios from the following section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
or from the htc tmous website.

spl 2.10.0000 can't be hspl'd, you'll need to downgrade your rom again so that you can get spl 2.08.0000.
Oh Oh
the newer version was laggy any way (responding very slowoly) ... and its touch senstivity is extremely bad
so i'll try to down Grade tomorrow after comming back from my eXam :S

I have a GREEK stock ROM with radio 2.06.5107U..!!
i want to upgrade it to use the android or haret on my HD2 but i dont know what version of radio to use so thats why i dont want to brick my phone like some HD2S with Tmous..!can you please direct me to so i can procceed without to have fear to lost my HD2???
THANKS..
any radio will work for your phone. You do not have to worry like tmous, that problem does not affect you.
I think the radio for use with android is 2.10.50.x so use that one.
Thank you so much...
is the rillphone neccesary ??
no, not at all
i ve already installed it..its cool..thank you again so much..god bless you!
Hi, I upgraded my phone to the latest stock ROM and my SPL from 1.14 changed to 1.54. Is this the way things work or I have done something wrong ?
AFAIK, it's all as it should be.
Now you can enter the world of USPL / HSPL and custom ROMs...
On Device Information it says that the rom version is 1.56.479.0, the radio is 1.13.25.24. Is this as is should be ?
If you have used RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.56.479.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe, then answer is yes...

Hello people i downloaded yesterday this SD Android Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
Then i tried this... i started usually the clrad.exe and then the Haret.exe....
Then i came to a blackscreen with a small white text on the left corner of the Disply... i waited and waited and nothing happended....
I tried this more ten 10 Times bu it dont works....
Then i found out that i have to flash my Radio...
My actually Rom is : 2.05.51.05_2
I read on the internet that i have to install first HSPL and then i can flash my Radio..?Right?
And is it dangerous?
But i do not know wich HSPL or Radio i should take, to make running my HTC HD2 Android...
Please can you help me?
Can you give me the link to HSPL and Radio Rom please...
My SPL is 1.42.0000... and so on
I found that there is a hspl and hspl2 3, and 4... wich should i take?
Sorry for my verry bad english...
Greetings from Austria
You can use hspl 2, 3 or 4, makes no difference. For me, I would use hspl2 and select "2.08.hspl" and then flash radio 2.15.50.
and is it safe or dangerous?
can i brick my phone?
can i use then android rom on myphone if i install the spl that you mentioned?
Bumppppppppppp
Safe (always some risk with flashing) but the "wrong radio" bricks you have read about don't affect you, that's tmous only.
as for installing android, assuming you mean nand androud, it will ONLY install on that spl (2.08.hspl)
radio !!
the tmous version can be bricked by a wrong rom probably the .51 ones !!!
but the radio 2.15.50.14 is the latest and a stable radio for both tmous and eu/asian models !!
also u might want to flash the radio depending on your country for receiving better network and signal strength as different radios have different reviews !!
happy flashing ! !!
so i should flash this radio : 2.15.50.14??
what is tmous?
im living in austria...
Yep, that one will do fine.
Tmous = t mobile us, red end key, says T-Mobile under earpiece. All other hd2 are "regular" with white keys.
