HSPL Back to original SPL anyone succeed it ?

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!

I was attempting to root this phone using the unlockr one click method using a gold card. Upon loading the ROM and rebooting the phone became stuck on the vodafone flash screen.
I am now attempting to HBOOt the phone using a gold card but keep getting the "Main Version is Older" message.
Can someone please help me or provide an response that may assist me in finding a solution.
TIA

Your goldcard is jacked up. Try remaking it or trying a different SD card.

Im also getting the same probelm. I try it on 2 different micro sd card and i still get the same message. What am i doing wrong.

Same deal. If your getting Main Version is Older, then your goldcard is jacked up. Did you repeat the entire procedure to create the goldcard when you tried the second SD card? You can't use the same goldcard.img for both SD cards.

You can't bypass mainversion is older with a gold card only the region check.. can you get into a rom? And if not what did you flash to break the rom?
Do you have a custom recovery (and can you boot into it) you said you used one click

I thought that was the whole point of the gold card??? I could be wrong though.

You need a different sappimg.nbh file. Search this forum for Main Version Older and you'll find the one that I used.

I try it with 2 brand new cards. One was the sandisk 2gb and the other was the tpk 2gb. i did everything i needed to do to make it a goldcard and they both do the same thing. I just dont understand if they jacked up... why would they boot up on the phone when i press the vol down and power button? Then it loads everything but stops when it saids the Main version is older. Maybe is the Sappimg thats corrupted? Sorry for the questions but im new to doing this on android phones. Ive done the jailbreak on iphones. Im trying something new here.

I resolved this , thanks for the help, I recreated a gold card with a different sdcard and all went fine.

HTC Magic Rooting - Which Procedure??

Ok, i just want to say hello to all members, and i hope you'll be abe to help me.
I have HTC Magic with these specifications:
SAPHHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S ON H
HBOOT 1 76 2009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD 12
RADIO 6 35 08 29
Dec 8 2009 17 38 48
Firmware ver 1 5
Kernel Version 2 6 27 5b476e83 htc kernel and18 2 989
Build Number 3 05 401 3 CL 98222 release keys (coulndt put dots between number again, because I'm new user)
I have downloaded and installed the HTC Sense update on this phone few months ago. (I couldn't download the Sense update from the HTC site with my phone's serial number that i entered, instead I found and downloaded the update here on the forum, that someone posted.)
Before the update, my phone SPL was 1 33 something and radio was 2 22 something if I remember correctly.
I have tried this:
How to root the HTC magic in one click guide on unlockr site (cannot provide you the link cause i'm a noob user and cand post links
I wanted to do the rooting the easy way but it was a "no go" i guess
With the FlashRec.apk application couldn't get past the "backup failed" message, because of the SPL i guess??
Then i tried this, because the first article said at the and that i need to unroot the phone with this guide "how to unroot your mytouch 3g" guide also from unlockr site.
I downloaded the sappimg NBH file from the provided link and put it in the root of the SD card, tried the fastboot (volume down + power button) but i could flash the phone, got the "wrong main version" message.
At the end of the article it says that the known issue is
"Issue: Phone says that the wrong Main Version is Older or Wrong Model ID"
and that the solution is:
"Solution: Use our Goldcard Method instead."
I am going to buy a gold card tomorrow, and i would be very thankful if you could point me into the right direction and give me some explanations and hints what should i do next, considering that i have a very "root unfriendly" versions of SPL and Radio. All help is appreciated.

You don't buy a gold card, you make one with an ordinary microsd card and some software you download. Here are instrucitons to get you started:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

And since the Wiki is down, go to this thread and follow those instructions.

Ok, guys, i made the Goldcard, according to the instructions on the unlockr site, and everything seems ok. I get the problem when i try to load SAPPIMG file from HBOOT, it picks up the sappimg file and start loading it but does not ask me to flash or anything similar, just finishes the process of checking and stays in the HBOOT screen, like nothing happened. Could this be because of a 1.76.0009 perfected SPL that my Magic has? Can my magic be even rooted?
I have done the Goldcard rooting method on the unlockr site, just for the info.

It should tell you to push "action" to continue after it checks the sappimg, with the "action" being to push the trackball.
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

I've made it. It's rooted now.
Used instructions for rooting 1.76.0009, from Orange_24 (whom i thank soooo much)
I have installed Amon_RA's recovery image RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.
I am still having problems.
I can't install [32a][3.22][6.35] CM6 - FroyoRedux Mod v1.5 (08/01/2010) Froyo Supreme ROM. I start recovery mode (home + power) button, and start Flash Zip form sdcard (i previously copied the CM6-FroyoRedux-v1.5-32a-blk.zip file to the sdcard root) and I always get the "verification failed" message" and that some file is corrupted (it's not the same file always).
My SPL and Radio now are:
SAPHHIRE PVT 32A ENG S OFF H
HBOOT 1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
6.35.xxx

Check that the ZIP file was downloaded correctly and that your SD card isn't broken. Best way to check would be to copy a file on your card and check if it has the same MD5 sum as on the computer.

God da*n it!
Why do I have problems every step of the way!!??
I have checked the MD5 and managed to install the ROM. Now i'm stuck at the infinite boot screen. Please help, i'm really running out of patience. (I have made Nand backup and stored it on my PC if all else fails).
Don't get me wrong, but from this little experience that i have until now i got the feeling that the rooting concept is just too cumbersome and that all this problems and inconsitencies are the reason why many people never let them selves into the rooting thing. I just hope the reward will be proportional to the amount of problems that an average ROOT beginner user comes in contact for the first time.

PLEASE HELP THIS IS URGENT!!!
I might have bricked my phone. After succesfull install of CM6, my phone went to boot loop, so i tried to NAND restrore my phone. I got the error message to do the NAND restore. I got the error message, saying that to do it from the adb. I didnt know how to do it, so i tried to put some other ROM, just to get the phone working. I tried with the Amon RA's clean donut ROM. Also got the infinite boot. So i tried other recovery, the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H, flashed it through recovery adb and got the sporadic restarts after flashing when i go into the recovery mode.
After that i flashed the recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img from fastboot because this recovery is mentioned on the unlockr site instructions on how to install custom ROM. Now i cant get into recovery mode, and cant flash none of the above mentioned recoveries from fastboot.
I really need help and information is my phone bricked. Please, i have been on my computer for the whole weekend, messing around with my android phone.

ill look into wut u can do..

Flash this recovery: http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...download=recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img and use only ROMs made for NEW RADIO/NR/6.35. Either that, or flash the old radio/spl using eyegor's Radio Switcher (see dev thread).

^ Thank you in advance
The current state of the phone is, just to give you info:
Engineering SPL, S-OFF, HBOOT is 1.76.2007, Radio 6.35.08.29, recovery (flashed from Fast Boot) recovery-RAv1.2.0H which is stuck at boot loop, and Amon RA's clean donut ROM which is also stuck at boot loop.
I suppose the only way to fix this problem is to use adb from Fastboot USB or using gold card?
What are the symptoms of a definitively bricked phone?

Can you give me the console command to flash it from fastboot? Is that the only way to flash recovery? I have tried flash recovery <recovery_name.ext>, but with no success, i get the :
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img
error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img'
EDIT:
Me stupid, forgot to place the recovery in tools folder
I'll try now to load some ROM for 6.35 radio, or maybe downgrade the SPL/Radio

MyTouch 3G 1.2 - Removed SD Card Error

Ok first off I wanna let you guys know there is no problem with the SD card or the SD card slot on my phone, the phone WILL read the SD card in fastboot, that is it. The reason I know this is because I can load SAPPIMG.zip from the SD card in fastboot. Long story short I messed up installing radios and the only way to get my phone back to normal was installing the original SAPPIMG for the 1.2 which is where I am now. The main problem is I cannot get this phone to read the SD card.
I have tried fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 but since I don't have Engineerings SPL it won't work. I cannot make a gold card since my phone won't read the SD card, therefore I can't change the SPL. I did manage to root my phone by installing Universal Androot through ADB, but that's as far as I got. I pretty much know what the problem is, when I run fastboot oem boot I can see board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 when it should read =0. How can I go about fixing this? I've tried everything I could think of including loading a custom recovery but that won't work either. No matter what the phone won't read the SD card except in fastboot, not even recovery. I'm pretty sure there has to be a way to fix this but after searching for hours and hours I couldn't figure anything out.

well, I have the same problem as you do, now I've got an idea but I can't try it at present. The golden card might has nothing to do with your device, so you may borrow your friends' android device to creat a golden card and then, you can try to flash the sapping.zip

I'm not positive on this so hopefully someone else can confirm.
My idea, since you already have root, would be to use ROM Manger to install a custom recovery (either Amon Ra or ClockworkMod), boot into recovery, and flash the sappimg.zip (the one used to get the 2010 engineering SPL) to achieve access via fastboot. Then you could fix your SD problem since you seem to already know how to handle that part and just reflash the stock bootloader/radio. Or you could do as the previous person stated and use another Android phone to create a goldcard and run that method.

I tried ROM Manager but the progam is basically useless because it always says it needs an SD Card to do anything. I'm guessing I just need another android device to make a gold card and I should be fine

Hi, i had the same problem, but with unrooted phone.
i finally managed to set board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=1 to board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0
in fastboot mode run this command in cmd:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
and then this:
fastboot -c board_sapphire.disable_sdcard=0
after that i obtained working sdcard.
Now i have problem with unrooting my magic. It reboots/crashes at recovery mode so i can't update the eng spl.

hello, have your problem been solved?

Have you tried unrooting using universal androot, then putting in the SD card? My sd card starting erroring up after I rooted using androot, but a quick unroot and reroot fixed the problem. Let me know!

sappimg
i had that same problem and i had the sappimg file on my sdcard and it did the same thing. I removed the sappimg file when i didnt need it anymore and i think it stopped. my phone got buggy recently so i went back to the regular firmware and i had to put the sappimg file back on to load from bootloader. and i noticed that my sd was having a problem again. i am going to take the sappimg off of the sd card and test it out for a while to see if i have any problems so im about 80% sure thats it but i will let you know if i find out anything else

[Q] 32a magic mytouch 3g unable to get to recovery

I have searched for a while and found different answers and have tried several solutions but I make no progress. What am I doing wrong?
I have a myTouch 3g 1.2 with this on my hboot page:

Summary:
-Bought mytouch brand new with T-Mobile
-Flashed clockwork mod and rooted previously successfully creating a gold card, recovery, and flashing ROMs
-Factory reset for clean wipe and froze
-I could get into hboot and fastboot no problem and even get my computer to recognize the device
-A "friend" tried his luck and gave it back to me resulting in the bootup screen being Rogers and unable to be recognized by my computer
-I can still flash SAPPIMG however results in "Main Version is Older" update failed. From the tutorials I read I needed to create the gold card. I did that after formatting fat32 with a kensington 2GB card.
-I have tried to flash the Engineering SAPPIMG also, but it gives me the same response.
As of now I still have access on the phone to hboot and fastboot but am stuck as to how to get the phone to take an update file.
Help! Please!

So you've got the myTouch with the 3.5mm jack, correct? If so, go smack your "friend" for being an idiot and tell him to be glad he didn't brick your phone. If your getting "Main Version is Older" there's something up with your goldcard. You don't have the goldcard you created when you originally rooted?
At either rate, once you get your goldcard squared away, just use my guide to essentially re-root, but in your case get your phone fixed too. Here's my guide to follow. Since you already know how to flash ROM's and such, you of course can opt out of installing CM 6.1 and use whatever ROM you want. Just use the guide up to step #9.

DonJuan, are you sure the goldcard fixes the Main version is older problem? I thought it only fools hboot into thinking you have SuperCID (can install ROMs for any region).

AFAIK, it's suppose to also force the phone to bypass the version check as well.

Thank you for the quick response. I thought that I had the gold card equipped. I used the goldcard.img from when I had previously made a gold card with the same phone and memory card so I assumed that nothing would have changed. I opened the HEX editor and changed the lines 00 to 170 with the gold card image and saved it.
With my phone being the way it is, would the gold card have changed at all? Or is it device specific?
I'm going through the process carefully this time to make sure I do it right. I appreciate it!

Sounds like your good. The goldcard.img is specific to the SD card, so as long as its the same one you should be good.
