hi everyone, i've been trying to restore my phone to factory os to return it. i was able to restore stock SPL 2.08.0000, but now when i try to flash stock os, it stays stuck on HTC screen at 0%. i've even tried loading from SD and that also gets stuck at loading..... after the bootloader screen. any help would be appreciated. nick714
current rom: rstg_hd2_TMOUS_Sense25_23557T_09
OS version: 5.2.23557 (23557.5.5.0)
Manila: 2.5.20121412.1
ROM: rstg_LeoKitchen WWE
ROM date: 09/04/2010
Radio: 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol: 15.34.50.07U
You can't restore SPL BEFORE flashing to the stock ROM. Return it to HSPLS (whetever you call it). Flash to stock rom. THEN restore SPL.

ohhhh, so that was the problem. i thought i read somewhere to restore SPL first. my bad. thanks for your help.
you can restore spl first, BUT the stock rom you then flash MUST be the correct one. Some of the stock roms that are available come with customruu.exe. These are NOT official roms, they are repacks of extracted roms. You need one that comes as an .exe file.
(but simpler to just flash BEFORE you remove hspl, )

thanks for your help. so where can i find the official ruu?
theyre in this forum, the one i have already is called
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
however, in all honesty the other poster is correct in that it is still easier to use hspl to install one of the others, (The others will still pass for warranty purposes) and then restore spl 2.08.0000 after the flash.

now i don't know what went wrong. i reflashed HSPL, went fine, then flashed stock OS from SD and got FAILURE. everytime i retry now, it's stuck on loading.... or stuck on HTC screen 0%.
so i could have left the custom rom on there with SPL 2.08.0000 and still return it?
even tried running task29 and its stuck at 0% forever.... please help!!

boot to bootloader(three coloured screen) see what it says next to spl
if it says 2.08.0000 then you need to run hspl1024 again.
if it says 2.08.hspl , , well, it shouldnt, but if it does, THEN you have a problem.
ok, found out that when reflashing stock OS from SD, it reflashed to SPL 2.08.0000 then came to the update failure. so i reflashed HSPL, and flash a custom rom (Josh's Sleek and Stable Release[Test2 04/16]), i'm back, whew!! almost sh_t in my pants. gonna redownload the official OS again. i noticed a couple of threads with the official OS, but each file is a different size. could some point me to the correct OS (thread). thanks everyone for your help.

hehe, your lesson for the day - when flashing from sd card the first thing that happens is the spl gets overwritten. glad you're sorted, the roms in THIS thread should be fine for warranty. (go for the 2.10.1 one.)
Hello all
Looking for help for flashing from the stock spl 2.10.0 to 2.10.1 for some reason i cant get it to flash properly not even from SD card. it just stays stuck at loading... screen or it goes to the HTC bootloader screen but gets stuck at 0%. Any tips.
But if im understanding it correctly the 2.10.1 cant go on the stock spl?
Thanks for all help in advanced.
anybody have any idea when a new rom is going to be released from T-Mobile?
when you download a rom, if it comes as a .exe, your phone will see it as official, and it should load on your spl. (Assuming its a match, of course) if it comes as two files, ruu_signed.nbh and customruu.exe, then your phone sees it as a cooked rom, and you need hspl installed to load them. (you can of course then unload hspl again afterwards, by running the hspl prog again, and all should be well.)
(At least that is how it appears to me, there are several 'official' tmous roms ive seen, and some are one type, some are the other. I dont have a tmous, lol, so i cant test it propperly, but its how it seems, the exe roms will load into my kitchen, the customruu ones wont. )
just a late night theory.
well this rom is coming as a customRUU and a ruu signed.nbh.
So assuming the phone recognizes it as that way. does anybody have a 2.10.1 link for an official EXE rom not a cooked rom
try search this one.can't promise anything but it came as an exe.
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
I have that version installed im looking for 2.10.1 not the 2.10.0

WHY?
My God, I don't understand why so many people, like yourself are in "dire" need of such an insignificant "update" if you could even call it that... which you can't... because it DOES NOT add anything completely outrageous or amazing that would make going through all that trouble even worth it.
This is like the 15th thread that has been started stating literally, the exact same things.
Unbelievable.
Well sorry, just im the type of person that likes to be current in software even if it does nothing.
in that case you'll be keen to flash hspl1024 as soon as you can, so that you have the latest spl protection system currently available, with the added benefit that the x.x.1 rom update will install happily. then, if you don't want hspl there permanently, remove it again. just run the hspl prog again and choose 2.08.0000.
job done, 20 minutes

Did you trying downloading the ROM in the development section?
On a side note, I currently have ROM version 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE installed. That is the same as the 2.10.1 stock ROM right? If I do flash a cooked ROM, I would like to be able to get back to this stock ROM as well.

Is it possible to change spl without messing up the currently installed ROM? In theory, that sounds like a solution though.
sure.installing and removing hspl has no effect on the current rom. no hard reset or anything.
I Just flash a new rom and i want to know how can i get back to stock, my stock ROM was 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE. I know there is more people looking for it, any help will be apreciated. thanks

There seems to be two ways to get this done. First is that you can download the standard 2.10 rom, rename the nbh file to leoimg.nbh. Copy it to the root of your sd card (maybe best to use a different one than the one that came with your phone) and run it from boot loader. This will restore the image, radio and spl from that rom version.
The second one is to wait until HSPL1024 is upgraded to allow it to be used with the 2.13 rom, and then you can flash cooked rom's onto your phone.
I haven't actually done either of these, this is just my understanding of how it should work. I've flashed the 2.13 rom, and now can't flash a cooked rom to the phone, so I'm trying to decide which path I want to take.
Does anyone have any info regarding mods to HSPL1024 for use with the 2.13 rom?
These are two great sources of info/stock roms... The 2.10 stock ship rom is listed in post 1.

no need to wait, just flash 2.10 rom using sd card which will downgrade spl to 2.08 so hspl will work again.

So from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653 that one that says 2.10.1 *no stock Spl !!! is the stock 2.10.531.1 that came with the phone when i bought it? or not and what means no stock spl
I'm pretty sure you want the one that does have the stock spl. That should restore your phone to exactly what you had when you bought it new. I'm not sure, but I think the one that is * no stock SPL would overwrite the rom without modifying the spl (I'm not 100% sure).
You'd have to load this from the sd card.

they're all in that thread, not just 2.13, did you look in the thread or just read the title?
pick the one that says 2.10.0 (dont worry about the extra .1 just yet, we can change that later if you want, we want the 2.10.0 cos it has the spl.)
If you currently do not have hspl on your phone, and your spl is 2.08.0000 (bootloader, tell us what it says next to spl)
then you can simply run the 2.10.0 .exe file and it will reset your rom and radio to 2.10.0 stock.
If you DO have hspl installed (i.e bootloader says 2.08.HSPL) then you can go straight for the 2.10.1 rom, flash over USB, which will flash 2.10.1 rom and radio, and when it has finished, run hspl1024, and in the list choose 2.08.0000, which will reset your spl to stock 2.08.0000
However, if you flashed 2.13 from sd card, your spl is now 2.1, so hspl1024 no longer works.
In this case, get the 2.10.0 rom, right click the .exe and choose extract here, get the file ruu_signed.nbh, copy to your sd card, rename to leoimg.nbh, flash the phone, this has reset your rom and radio, and changed your spl back to 2.08.0000, meaning you can now reflash hspl1024 and then load the 2.10.1 rom.
all sounds more complicated than it is, its all dependant on what spl you currently have. Its the spl that is critical for warranty, not so much the rom.
What makes it slightly more complicated, (and hence jumping from rom 2.13 to 2.10.0 to 2.10.1 above) is that some of those tmous stock roms come as .exe files, and some as a zip with customruu.exe and ruu_signed.nbh.
If it comes as customruu.exe and ruu_signed.nbh, then even though it is stock, it still needs hspl to flash.

ah well since you are changing from a cooked one, it is probably worth doing, just for good measure, but don't get too hung up on it, it's not that critical,, unless the rom runs badly afterthe flash.
some people emit every flash, some barely do it ever.
phew...
Okay... I've successfully gone and reverted back to 2.10.531. I initially got an error when flashing from the sd card, but it restarted itself and flashed fine. I then installed hspl on the phone and a custom rom.
I then decided I really wasn't happy with the custom rom, so I reflashed 2.10, reinstalled hspl, and then flashed the 2.09 radio over the 2.10 stock rom. Lol, I guess I'm not really very nervous about flashing anymore
One question... what is the purpose of the stock spl revisions? Is there some new functionality that goes along with an upgrade from spl 2.08 to spl 2.10, or is htc/tmobile just doing that to break hspl? It seems like once you've installed hspl, then that's the version you keep unless you flash from the sd card. At some point, is it likely that we'll need to upgrade the spl?

hspl is exactly the same as spl, just bypasses the security checks. you don't need to revert, most people just hspl and leave it set.(it protects your phone from bad flashes, it won't allow itself to be removed except by sd card)
the 0000 ones are included in the hspl program to make it easy to revert for warranty.
just reread your post.
yes higher spls have other functions or fixes or tweaks, but nothing you would ever notice.
you can happily run tmous roms on 1.42 spl with no issues.
(well, you can't cos you couldn't get 1.42 on your phone, being a tmous, but i can, and have)

ok finally i flash the stock rom 2.10.531.1 thanks samsamuel
I wanted to upgrade from Artemis rom v15 to v22 so I did. Suddenly I have issues with freezing and hard resets. I find out that I need HSPL 1.66.
So I tried installing HSPL2 and it gives me an error, something about invalid id.
I try HSPL and it did something because now I have SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE showing up in bootloader.
But I'm told it's not what I need and 1.66 is what I need. I can't seem to uninstall HSPL firstly and I also don't know any other way to get to 1.66!
I've even tried SSPL and it doesn't work
dont worry about it. its fine as it now is with 2.08.hspl
hspl2 wont work on telstra. Use hspl3 (which i assume you did to get 2.08.hspl) and you can now stop worrying. All roms will work fine on 2.08.hspl, the recommendation to match the spl to the rom doesn't really matter.

thanks for the reply and the info. I ended up getting the stock Telstra rom back on via straight SD flash and decided to try SSPL and it flashed ok so far.
After I flashed 2.08 Artemis said "I think you have problem Sir
My suggestion is, first to solve HSPL problem (post to HSPL thread)
or use SSPL (remove HSPL first)...". So I guess that's what I did.
Right now I seem to have 1.42.6666 showing up. Do you know how I can get to 1.66?

If your spl in bootloader ends...
.0000 = stock
.hspl = hspl installed
.6666 = rom was flashed using sspl. This is not permanent, single flash only, you need to use SSPL each time you flash
You can't flash radios with SSPL, so you may have trouble with cooked roms that require a particular radio. (Roms with the 576 RAM unlocked, for example, require you change your radio, which is almost certainly why artemis rom failed)
you cant get to 1.66.hspl directly with a telstra,
(well, you can, using the ''HSPL2 on telstra'' workaround,, , its posted in the rom dev section)
however I can promise you you will be just as well using hspl3, and installing 2.08.hspl
Ok, I know there have been a few threads on this. I've read all of them but still slightly confused.
I have an HD2 (der) with a custom rom, HSPL, Magldr 1.13..
Basically, what in the world do I need to do to get it back to "stock". I installed a rom from the t-mo website for this phone. It loaded windows, yadda yadda. But I know it still had HSPL on it.
Also, do I need to flash to a certain radio?
So far it has HSPL, a new radio, and Magldr 1.13.
Im sorry if this is a redundant question.. I just want to make sure I get this right! This phone was doomed even when it had Windows 6.5 on it. I rather not have them tell me I was the one who ruined it because of Android.. Even though it was acting up before it.
Thanks guys..
If you have the HDSPL yet, you have to uninstall it by running HDSPL3 and selecting *.spl or *.0000
Did I answer to the question ?

because usb flashing doesnt change the spl (hspl), only the splash, rom and radio.
Either - flash it again from the sd card, or use hspl3/4 to reset the spl manually, , if you flashed 3.14 rom, choose spl 3.03.0000, else chooe 2.08.0000

Yes. Correct. It is stock SPL. But, if you only flash it via HSPL, it will not flash the ROM itself. Your current ROM will remain. If you want to go back to original stock rom, you need to flash it again.
Cheers
Ok, here's what I did..
I downloaded the stock rom for my phone (using my IMEI number on the tmo website). I went into HSPL mode (the tri color screen) and then ran the .exe on the computer and it flashed it.
Currently, it's still running HSPL. If I flash HSPL to SPL 2.08.0000... This will look completely stock, correct?
Thanks for your help! I get to send this in today!
Also, the radio is 2.15.50. Is that stock... ?

Also, the radio is 2.15.50. Is that stock... ?

Yes that's right but it will be easy if you flash through sd card method it will write stock SPL ( you wouldnt do anything wrong if you install through hspl )... do do that just extract ruu you downloaded ( use 7-zip just search google its free) find ruu_signed.nbh and rename to LEOIMG.nbh copy to sd card and put in phone ... go into bootloader and follow instruction on screen.. and you are done.
But you alrady installed stock rom so to save time just put your phone into bootloader - tricolor screen connect to pc and run hspl and install stock spl

Thank you VERY much! I guess I'm just paranoid my $200 phone I got from craigslist will be deemed "rooted" and sent back to me with a nice "eff u" on the package from HTC.
The radio is now stock, everything is back to stock. SPL (no H) 2.08.0000. Yadda yadda.. It's still being a PITA.. so yes, I guess it is a hardware issue... yay for warranties!
