how did you uninstall hard spl in first place...
by putting back original spl
What error you get when you hard spl?
it stays on 0% and never move then it asks me to make a recover
1. Unlock your polaris
2. Than Hard-spl your device
PS: Only use the hard spl in the link provided. Disable your antivirus before procedure.
this might work.
thanks at first
but the first link cant be downloaded
and i think it is just an earlier version of hard spl 2.0
so i think it wont be usefull
From what I've read on a while ago on XDA, if your rom flash progress hangs in the middle of the process, it may be because of the fact that your current radio is too new for your 'old', original rom. You should try to flash an earlier radio before you flash the complete original (6.0?) rom.
And if you get it flash half of your rom, you probably didn't remove HardSPL, but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not that familiar with it.

As I recall, the figures above indicate that you do have the original SPL. You should try to flash an original rom (if you don't have one, i have a dutch one here (wm6.0). If that doesn't work you should try to flash hardspl (hold the camera button while softresetting to enter bootloader) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964 ) and then try to flash a newer rom.
Where are you from?
Btw. I forgot to tell you that you need to flash an old radio too if you're going to flash the original rom. (if you don't have one already).
And when you have hardspl on your device, it'd be wise to flash a rom which include a radio.
I'll be away for a couple of hours, so I've put the original (dutch WM6.0) rom (incl. the original spl, but I think (dont know for sure) you need hardspl2.0 just to flash anything.) online here, let me know if your figured it out.
well thank you for all the help
but i am sadly informing it didnt work if the problem is the radio the i just need to flash another one .
it is just i cant or i dont know the right method to flash the necessary radio
would any one please tell how to flash radio from the boot loader when i dont have hard spl
Maybe a stupid question, but why can't you flash hardspl2? And do you have an unlocked device? You don't live in the Netherlands by any chance right?
why I can't flash hard spl 2 ?
actually I don't know
maybe because I am stuck in the boot loader
and sadly I am living in Saudi Arabia so we don't have much programmers around here nor people who have PDA
that's why I can't find someone to help
Can you describe exactly what you do step by step on your pc and pda and how your hardware is connected?
update: and tell me what messages are on your screen and if you get any errors
well first i connect usb so the pda directly starts boot loader (the screen with three colours)
after that whatever (ROMUpdateUtility.exe) i use the installing stops to give me this messege:
the rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process . the program will guide you step by step to recover from the errors so you can continue with the update.
this happens with every rom i tried including the har spl exept for the original rom it advance untill 38% then stops and give me the same messege.
if i try the (step by step ) process it ends up the same way .
anyway what i understand that my problem will end once i put (hard spl)
or if flashed another radio all i need to know is how to do either of them from the boot loader.
i have been so needy but sorry for that i am just sad about my pda i like it alot
I dont think it changes anything, but you do keep the camera button pressed while softresetting your device to get into the bootloader?
Usually your device only gets to the bootloader when you do that, but i can imagine that when your rom update failed and the device cannot boot a rom, it stays in the bootloader, but not in flash mode? Worth a try..
Tell me what appear in your PDA screen during boot. I want to know the information on the first screen like below:
R:
G:
D:
These information usually appear on the right bottom corner or your screen when you boot your device.
Hi there,
Hope you can help me...
Since i bought my Cruise, I flashed it to the newest ROM version of HTC and it automatically installed SPL 3.13 with.
The problem is that if I want to install the WM 6.5 rom, I have to "Downgrade" My SPL version from 3.13.0000 to 2.20.
I followed the steps explained by "Olipro", but when the upgrade starts, RUU kills activesync (seems to be normal) and when the phone normally reboots in bootloader mode (like when you flash a new rom), nothing happens. The phone didn't shutdown and tries to establish a new USB connection !
I tried to turn manually the phone in bootloader mode on to force the SPL update, but the % bar stays at 0 and RUU returns a communication error (262).
I tried also to install the wm 6.5 rom without install SPL 2.2, but it crashes (stays @ 0% too)
I don't know how to install this stinky version of HARD SPL.
Heeeellllpppp !!
NOTE : I tried with or without µSd, does the same thing.
Thx
hmm try disabling firewall and antivirus one of them may be blocking the connection. Thats my only thought about it.
Thank you for the answer but it don't work...
Nobody can help me ?
Try to extract the files from the newest htc rom to a new folder, and then copy the "RUU_Signed.nbh" from the SPL V2 folder to the extracted files (to the new folder) and run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from the extracted files (from the new folder).
nope ...
Please, consider my asks...
I know there is necessarily a solution but I have not yet found.
I don't know where/why it is crashing.
What does the HTC need to downgrade the hardspl ?
Is there a protection that can't be bypassed with the 3.13 ?
The only thing that I can do atm, is flashing the official HTC rom (useless ^^).
The actual version of my rom is :
_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_FRA_3.13.406.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Thanking you in advance...

HSPL 3.13? In this ROM is ver. 3.13 drivers, not HSPL... If you have original ROM and you dont install Olipros HPSL, you have original HTC SPL...
When I enter bootloader mode, the HSPL version is : 3.13.0000
Of course it's the original htc HSPL.
The problem is that I can't downgrade it to the olipro's version : 2.20.
Did you try it on other PC?
2 PCs, 2 USB cables..
The official rom upgrade works fine, I dont think that the problem comes from the computer.
definite guide:
1. establish a connection with activesync via usb (orbit2 to pc)
2. start the romupdateutility provided in hardspl folder.
3. before it starts flashing, you need to also follow on-screen instructions on orbit2!!! execute jump-spl and stuff: click yes on orbit2!!
4. when the orbit2 states: Replug USB. you need to plug the usb-cable once off and then put it back to connect to your pc.
5. it starts flashing and restarts after its done.
Hi Manaaa,
I don't know what is jumpslp ??
I found it on the web (xda..), copied it in my "my documents" folder, ran it but it asks me a jump address (default is 0x00000000) and an spl (*nb) file..
What is jump spl ? What is the address to jump to? and where can I find the *nb file ?
In the olipro's hspl folder is only a *nbh file.
Thank you
I wouldn't recommend using a jump spl for our phones if there isn't one in the Hardspl Pack then one is not needed to be run.
Personally im still really confused by this so if i get it straight.
You are synced with activesync.
Run the file for Hardspl Run RomUpdateUtility.exe
Then go though. It switches off activesync.
Then what?? Exactly Does it ask you to replug the cable? Do you get the rom flash screen (with %) at all??
Also i dont think that spl flashes can be run from the booloader as it has to be a modded bootloader (jumpspl if you will), loaded by the program to be able to flash the new hardspl.
Also i know very little on this, this is as much as i understand it to be.

Normally, after killing activesync, the phone turns into bootloader mode. Mine stays in winCE and tries to establish new usb connection...
I also decided to force manually bootloader mode and killing activesync by myself.
I ran RUU again, it first checked the phone state (such as battery >50%, connectivity...)
CHECK : OK
Next step, by clicking "NEXT" on the RUU interface, the phone turns in "% mode" and the update starts but stays at 0%.
After a while, RUU returns an update error (such as 262).
Noway to flash hardSPL :'-( , v3.13 seems to be "write protected".
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

That is what error 262 is but really dont see why this happens either. And since you can boot into windows its not much help.
So it just wont go to flash it when you click it through, hmm
Your last resort would be to PM cmonex as she will have helped make this with oilpro. Ask and see if she can shed some light on this one. Maybe something has gone wrong somewhere (quite likely) that we don't know how to fix.
Stupid question but have you tried downloading, unzipping it again? May have been a bad dl... or unzip
Have tested it with about 10# DLs...
I PM'd Olipro, waiting for a response now
Flash back to HardSPL and don't Re-Plug
Hi Pixel,
Herewith are guide for you
1) Flash back to HardSPL and don't re-plug until end of session (5 minutes)
2) Flash back to original SPL 3.13 on this post . This original SPL for HTC Touch Cruise only
3) After you do this you cannot flash with other Cooked ROM or Shipped ROM
with different ID, unless you flash back to HardSPL
Good Luck my friend
I have exactely in the same configuration as Pixel69 with the same result.
I've tried to an other PC without any change.
Has somebody any idea?
Just had an idea what OS are you running to do it?
If its not 7 may not be fully compatible... Shot in the dark really
HTC HD2 now has hspl on it tried to update rom i start the image update gets about half way, then syas
00018003
LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL
RADIO_V2 - RSA FAIL
Update terminate
UPDATE FAIL
When you enter Bootloader mode, just to be sure, what is shown for the SPL version?
You need HSPL 1.42.0000 on your device in order to flash successfully.
You must also flash a Radio version next and not a custom ROM version.
1. Download your required Radio and rename the extracted file to RUU_Signed.nbh
2. Sync your phone with the PC
3. Run CustomRUU.exe from the Radio's Folder and follow the instructions (if one isnt included then download it here)
don't instal from sd card.why would you?
instal hspl, flash rom/radio using usb,job done.

just to un confuse that statement, you need it too say in boot loader
spl 1.42.HSPL
and NOT
spl 1.42.0000
this is what im stuck with i cant boot the phone, to get it to sync with the pc
What error code do you receive when it fails to flash?
Try the following:
1. Download orginal ROM from HTC.com
2. Remove HTC Battery
3. Remove SD-Card
3. Connect the Phone via USB to Computer
4. Start-up the phone in Bootloader mode wuth the Tree-color screen
5. If everything is right, in the bottom you will see USB
6. Start-up the update on your computer (ROM you've downloaded from htc.com)
7. Run the Update
8. Your phone should now boot after it installs
9. Place the battery and SD-Card back in the Phone
If that works, first flash to a Radio version from the link specified above (in post #2), and then you can flash to a custom ROM.

This Guide is only for T-Mobile USA HD2 with 1024 Mbytes ROM (1024LEO)
The ModelID for this version of HD2 is PB811200
If you have a LEO with 512MB ROM then please use *THIS* guide.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE READ THE FAQ BEFORE POSTING.
PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLING HARDSPL OR FLASHING A ROM/RADIO. IF YOU FLASH AN INCOMPATABLE ROM OR RADIO ON THE 1024LEO THEN THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF BRICKING YOUR DEVICE SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!
Before starting, backup anything you might want to keep after the new Rom has been flashed as all contacts, emails, texts, notes, Internet BookMarks WILL be lost!!
PimBackup is good and free (copy any mms attachments to your storage card or computer seperately)
*ONCE YOU HAVE FLASHED A HARDSPL ITS PERMANENT. YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN WHEN FLASHING NEW ROMS OR RADIOS*
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the Screensaver activate*
Any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone
*FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS OR RADIOS*
1. YOUR DEVICE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING EACH STAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. FLASH HARDSPL (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)
The Original HardSPL Thread is *HERE*
NOTE: If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first
NOTE: Turn OFF any AntiVirus Program first as it WILL interefere with the flash (there is NO harmful code in the program)
Installing HardSPL4 via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to Bepe)
Note: HardSPL CANNOT be installed via microSD Card.
IMPORTANT: To install/uninstall this HSPL4 there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.0000, SPL 3.03.000
To Uninstall you can flash a Stock ROM via SD card or use HSPL3 application (You need select 2.08.0000 or 3.03.0000 in the choose screen)
1. Download HardSPL4 package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable
3. Run HSPL4.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully
4. When finished reading click next in the HardSPL program
5. The program will now check the usb connection and enter bootloader screen (tri colour)
*You can select between 2.08.HSPL 2.08.0000 HSPL3.03.0000 or 3.03.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*
Android / WP7 / MAGLDR don't support HSPL3.03/OSPL3.03.
You need HSPL2.08 to run Android / WP7 / MAGLDR
6. Select 2.08.HSPL OR 3.03HSPL for HardSPL and click NEXT.
7. Your choice will be flashed to your phone.
8. When its finished the phone will reboot.
9. Click ok to terminate program.
10. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.
NOTE: You can also install HARDSPL by entering Bootloader mode manually, then running the HSPL4.exe program once you see 'USB' at the bottom of the tri-colour screen.
*Go into BootLoader Mode (turn off phone, then press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press and hold the POWER button. After about 3 seconds the tri-coloured screen should appear). Verify the screen shows the SPL or HardSPL you installed*
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
3. DOWNLOAD AND FLASH YOUR PREFERED ROM
IMPORTANT: DO NOT flash any Rom unless it states in the 1st post that its compatable with the 1024LEO or the chef confirms its safe to flash on a 1024LEO. If you flash a Rom with a Base version before 2.08 then you will most likely brick your phone. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!
NOTE: Check the Roms Thread for any specific Flashing instructions. If there arent any then you can use the following guide.
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!! (this is a precautionary measure and is not compulsory)
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
4a. If your Rom is a .exe (customRUU.exe is already included in the Rom file) then run the file
4b. If your Rom is a .nbh file then run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards
7. Perform a Hard Reset to clear any leftover data from your previous Rom (see intructions at bottom).
8. Set up phone as required and job done.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
4. FLASH PREFERED RADIO (OPTIONAL)
IMPORTANT: Do not flash ANY Radio before 2.07.x or the 2.09.51.03 Radio or you could damage your phone!!
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Radio you flash is FULLY compatable with the US HD2 before flashing.
IF YOU ARENT ABSOLUTELY SURE THEN DONT FLASH IT!!
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your required Radio and rename the extracted file to RUU_Signed.nbh
2. Sync your phone with the PC
3. Run CustomRUU.exe from the Radio's Folder and follow the instructions (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
Flashing via MicroSD Card
Use same method as Flashing a Rom via MicroSD Card
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
5. JOB DONE. Well Done YOU DID IT!!
Useful Information
How to get into your Bootloader
1. Turn your phone off

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu > All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Make sure you back up all your data such as Contacts, Appointments, messages etc or they will be gone forever.

FAQ's
1. What is Rom Flashing?
A Rom is basically an operating system for your phone. A Custom/Cooked Rom is a Stock/Shipped Rom that has been stripped of clutter and tweaked to give the best performance. Custom Roms usually contain the latest updates and programs so are more stable and up to date and work better than stock roms that are supplied with your phone.
2. What is the difference between SPL and HardSPL?
The SPL (Secondary Program Loader) is mainly a bootloader which allows a ROM to be flashed onto your device. The SPL does more than just load and boot the ROM it sets various flags which can control the operation of the OS on the device. It also controls some operations between the OS and the device's hardware. SPLs come paired with shipped (or leaked) official ROMs and are meant to match the ROMs operation. Therefore, with each new ROM release there is likely to be a new SPL.
A Hard SPL is one that is permanently flashed in your device memory and will boot up every time your device boots. The SPL that is shipped with your device, or upgraded from an official ROM is a Hard SPL. In short, if it is loaded into your device's firmware, and survives a hard-reset it is considered Hard. Therefore HardSPL2 is a shipped SPL that has been patched to allow flashing of any Rom or Radio (custom or shipped) as long as its compatable with your device and it will withstand a Hard Reset so is permanent unless overwritten by a different SPL.
HSPL2 1024 version
I was able to get the HSPL2 1024 version on my TMO Leo no problem. I just followed the directions.
Awesome Guide mate ! Gonna try it with my T-mobile HD2...
cheers !
well done!!
wait for download link to work
I'm waiting too, I'm gonna buy a TMOUS HD2 as soong as I get to US this march 31st. And I wish that I had it before this day since I'm not gonna be with the TMOUS rom for long.
Thanks for the procedures, it is almost the same as every other phone, BUT, I didn't knew about the roms that couldn't be installed.
Nice work.
wait so where is the hardspl?
I found a link for HSPL2 1024 and it worked fine for me -mind you -it is my first time flashing a phone ever! ...worked fine without problems...
I think people just need to pay attention to the compatibility of the ROM/Radio that they are flashing...
I agree that there should be a very clear distinction in Roms/Radios which state if it is 1024/TMOUS compatible or not... I found a rom which said it was tmous compatible and it all worked fine...maybe HSPL2 1024 should be able to detect whether it is a 1024 compatible rom/radio or not ?(and then should mention it and make sure the user wants that rom/radio) ? IDK -I am a newb here so sorry if that is stupid? ....
From what I read..

Not available yet. Working some kinks out I believe.
It isnt ready just yet. Hopefully, the hardspl should be available soon...the original needed some fine tuning.
Does this void my warranty?
If so can i just flash back to stock, so i can get my warranty back?
Thanks.

Yes and yes. It does give you the ability to flash back to original SPL with this application as well. Very simple to use.

Its a very good idea in theory but sadly its not possible. 1024LEO users are just going to have to be very careful what they flash.
Im moving this post over to the 1024LEO flashing thread.
Mark.
Thank you very much! Worked with absolutely no problems at all!
Just bought a T-Mobile US HD2!! This phone's great! A little overwhelmed with the Windows Mobile OS though! Having come from Apple and Android OS, windows feels vast and am kinda lost. Trying to learn nevertheless
Anyways, I HSPL'd my phone (1024MB ROM) and then installed Kumar's Custom ROM. IMO custom ROMS arent as polished as the Original ROMS are; albeit more stable.
Is there a way to flash a stock ROM back to my TMOUS HD2? Not the one I had before. But a better (read, stable) one? If yes, which one would it be?
Appreciate the help.
Cheers!!

What Rom did you have on your phone before flashing Kumars Custom Rom thats the real question
I think the latest Stock Rom available for the 1024LEO is the 2.10 build. As the guide states you cant flash older Stock or Custom Roms or you will brick your device so I wouldnt advise doing that.

im new at this just got my tmo-us hd2 i flashd a custom rom but i want to know if any one could tell me the steps to put the original spl and rom just incase!! thanks
Just have to flash original rom from sdcard to remove hspl quick search will reveal the guide.
@mskip
I flashed the original HSPL that was posted for the U.S HD2's. Everything seems to work fine. I've since flashed 3 different roms through my computer. The only problem is that I can't seem to flash from my SDCARD. I have done this a million times on my Touch Pro 2 so I know how to do it. I even followed your instructions to a T.
What happens it I go to the tri colored screen (after I reset it) and it looks like it goes to another screen for a split second then it comes back to the tricolored screen. I have no idea why that is. Yes I renamed the rom to LEOIMG.
Is this one of the bugs you are trying to work out on the HSPL or am I possibly doing something wrong?
Thanks
Since I am a noob have patient with my stupidity!
That said
I have a
Trophy with Bootloader
PC40100
SPL- 4.6.2250-0 (129185) MNG
OS 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 2250.21.40600.401`
Radio: 5.69.09.05a
I have read all the threads by ansar and it just made me more confused.
I upgraded to "RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.06_5.69.09_RELEASE med internet sharing", so I thought maybe I could "jailbreak the phone since It costed 370 dollars"
and followed Ansar "SPL ROM to downgrade 5.10.x Bootloader "
I just got stock on 0% when I flashed a custom file "RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_Mango_7720_custom_by_ansar"
SO I tried the whole DFT w7p2 but no RSPL or HPSL where to be installed. Bootloader showed I had 1.10.5 but DFT supported 1.10.4
I couldnt get out of it so I flashed back to STOCK version "RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE"
I noticed the bootloader was changed to SPL 4.06
MY question is WHAT am I doing wrong??
Since I am a noob keep your answers really basic!
Please help!
Kind regards from Sweden
Really...
....No one out there has a tips/hints
Well
Can someone at least explain what I have to do to "sideload" my Trophy?Bootloader?!
What do you need to do? step by step?!
DFT v2?
RSPL?
Custom firmware?
Problem SOLVED!!
Problem Solved!
(Please observe I assume that you know what you are doing and know the basic stuff regarding the phone, I am just a beginner like you)
Please remember all this will erase everything you have on the phone.(back it up)
You need the following:
-MircoUSB cable(for connecting the phone to computer)
-Zune installed on your computer (BUT DON’T RUN IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES) (you need zune for installing Modem drivers on your computer)
-Windows Phone Developer Tools installed on your computer (for deploying /sending software to the phone when you are done jailbreaking it) I will get back to you on how to put apps on your phone the “Sideload” way
My phone has PC40100 and SPL 5.10 (so in theory it is not possible to install Cooked firmware)
What I did was the following:
1. Put the phone into Boot (hold down volume down and power at the same me when the phone starts it is like IOS DFU nothing major happens. Now you can see tri color (red,green and blue) on the white/bottom of the screen you can read “serial”)
2. Connect the phone to the Computer using your USB cable , and if you hear a you’re your computer you know it is connected to computer and your “serial” changes to “USB” on your phone
3 Downgrade the phone with RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.06_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar (search it on the forum)
4. Now the phone restarts into tricolor /DFU and nothing more happens , it is not dead just needs to be programmed (if you do nothing it will eventually reboots and windows phone starts, don’t do that it is just a waste of time, keep it in boot)
5. Choose the STOCK (stock means the released original firmware by HTC/Microsoft ) version of windows phone RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Spark_5.52.09_RELEASE (search it here on the forum) the 1.10.401.04 works fine with the jailbreak tool from DFT (dark force team)
6 . Install the stock version it will downgrade your phone from SPL 5.10 (SPL stands for the original boot of the phone ) to SPL 1.10.401 this is what you want
7. when it is done your phone will start and it looks fine but if you check the system in settings you will find that it is SPL 1.10.401 and the multitasking is gone.
8. REMEMBER DON’T connect the phone to Zune it will just update it and ruin everything
9. Now you need install RSPL /HSPL on your phone to be able to install cooked firmware (cooked means someone else like Ansar(a user here) has done all the work and removed the locks in the original firmware and made it easy for you and me to install software on the phone which is called by the way “sideload”)
10. DFT (dark force team has a jailbreak for boot which makes it possible to install cooked firmware)
11. Search and download DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1
12. You need to install RSPL first to be able to use HSPL (HSPL is more permanently like untethered jailbreak in IOS)
13. Put the phone again into BOOT mode (with tri colors) and connect it to the computer and run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH from your computer (just follow the onscreen instruction from DFT teams software and choose 1.10.401 it is imperative that you choose this for this jailbreak to work)
14. when it is done you will see RSPL on the screen of your phone (you are actually done here if you don’t want to lose your warranty but I doubt you have some left if you do GOOD for you , RSPL is reversible but HSPL is not)
15, in my case I went ahead and installed HSPL just to be safe it works , cause RSPL disappears when the phone is shut down. I just installed HSPL when the word RSPL showed on my phone but it is optional if you want that or not.
16. From where you see RSPL/HSPL it means your phone is ready for COOKED firmare NOT original/stock firmware REMEMBER THAT installing stock/original firmware will brick/destroy your phone, every page in this site says it DON’T push your luck
17.Install any Cooked firmware from Ansar (a user named ansar look him up and don’t forget to thank him for all this work) for instance HTC_Europe_5.12.401.06_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50. 21U_NT_Mango_8107_22L_TU_by_ansar (which is the latest )
Remember if you have any question I will be more than happy to help but I am just a beginner, you should ask Ansar directly here.
DISCLAIMER you do all this on your own risk.
Break a leg!!
This thread should be moved to the Development forum for Trophy (Spark). The name of the thread should be renamed to something like "[HOWTO] Downgrade bootloader for Spark GSM to use DFT."
Many seem to use the Goldcard method on Spark GSM, but I wonder if anyone else can use this guide.

Thanks for the feedback but I cant post messages in the Development forums since I am noob.
You are more than welcome to move the thread whereever you see fit.
I hope some people find it helpfull.
You need a particular number of post before you can post in dev forums. Just go around helping people and you'll get that number quickly (that's what I did).
once again thanks =)
