Need help with ROMs - HD2 General

I have just used the DFT tool to hack my TMO HTC HD2. Now I can't get any ROMs on to the phone. Please help!

I am assuming you mean you have installed HSPL....which version did you install 1.66HSPL or 2.08HSPL ?
What exactly are you trying and where are you stuck now ?

I loaded the 2.08. I have the TMO Leo HD2. I just can't figure out how to load the other ROM's on my phone.

just saying '2.08' isnt enough, , did you choose 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl in the dropdown list?
If you chose 2.08.0000 that is stock spl, and wont let you flash custom roms. Choose 2.08.hspl
Also,. are you aware you are in the normal hd2 section? DO NOT flash roms you find in this section till you know what you are doing.
Bookmark and get your roms from THIS section.

Sorry I'm a noob to this stuff.. I did load the 2.08.hspl onto the phone.

T-mobile HTC HD2 Android upgrade attempt.
I have the T-mobile HTC HD2 Windows mobile phone, and have been trying to upgrade to the Android OS. So far, so good, but I seem to have hit quite the wall.
I have an SPL 2.08, and it keeps telling me i need to downgrade to an SPL 1.42.0000.
Now, ive noticed everyone has been saying that SPL 1.42.0000 is not isolated for singular download, but whenever i download this package thing, it only lets me download spl 2.08.
Am very interested in removing the Windows OS, and attaining the Android OS.
Can someone help me?

Are you perhaps trying to use HSPL (version 1)? That is the only HSPL version that requests for spl 1.42.0000. Just use HSPL3 and is works perfectly even on the 2.10.0000 spl and will also work on the 2.08.0000 that you now have.
As an aside, if you have a radio higher than 2.08.50 then you do not even need to install HSPL for Android to work (although it is recommended that you do). Radio 2.10.50 and 2.12.50 are those recommended as best for Android though.

Rom question..

After I flash my hd2 to a different rom do I have to run HSPL to install other roms or can I just flash the rom without running HSPL. I want to try another rom version but dont know if I have to go through another HSPL. Im trying to find a good stable rom that will run my internet browser without lagging with the load times.
Thanks in advance!!
I am currently running KUMARS ROM V2.0 on my 1024 htc hd2/leo

HSPL only has to be loaded one time. Once it's embedded into your system it stays there until you get rid of it or change back to the stock version. You will have to go into the bootloader every time you want to change ROM's, but you will not have to modify your HSPL version.
~Jasecloud4
Shouldent the phone go straight to bootloader mode when new rom is being flashed? Also what is a good stable TMOUS ROM that is currently out that I can flash to my HD2 that wont lag on loading times when I use my internet. I use Opera 10 for my internet.
I tried to flash a hard spl on my TMobile HTC HD2 but I dont see a Hard Spl for 2.10 will the 2.08 work on mine ???

as answered fast aproaching a hundred times, you need to flash 2.10.0 so that your spl is downgraded to 2.08.0000 and then you can use hspl1024.

Ever searched youtube for Tmobile HD2 ROM's? There are quite a few videos on there that show you the various ROM's that are available, which makes it really easy to decide which one to go with...
Just a thought.

Sweet!
So if we already have HSPL on our HD2, would there be any benefit in loading the new one?

nah, not really. its gonna give you the same 2.08.hspl whichever you use. This is more to cut out the downgrading step.

no, cos you already have spl 2.08.0000 so hspl1024 already works.
this is just an update to the installer so that it works with all model hd2s, and all spl versions, with less options to go wrong.
Is this TMOUS compatible?

yep. works on spl 2.08.0000 and spl 2.10.0000 so no need to downgrade.
You can only choose 2.08.hspl or stock 2.08.0000 though, cotulla decided its safest to just offer the one spl fits all.
Should work on pretty much every hd2 out there.
so for everyone that keeps asking is it needed to switch to HSPL3 if you already have HSPL_1024 the answer is no.
If you were on stock rom 2.13 ( which the phones ship with this now) your spl would be 2.10.000 so if you wanted to HSPL before you would have to downgrade your rom to 2.10 which would give you a SPL of 2.08.000 but with this you will not need to downgrade which gives you less of a chance to brick your phone.
wouldn't an HSPL 2.10.000 offer some performance benefit?

What DLL ?
"the" does not tell us much ...
Everything you need should be in the zip
timeout usually caused by using usb slot in pc casing or hub.
you should use one around back of the pc.

[Q] Need Help With My HTC HD2 T-MOBILE

Hi
I'm afraid to BRICK my HD2 like i did to my other one
how can i know what ROM is the right version for my T-mobile US?
what do i need to check before i install?
what parameters in the build of the ROM'S i need to pay attention to?
plz help me use my HD2 the right way this time
THX...
read the stickies...........
then read them again.............
then read everything else...............twice......
all the info you need to prevent a brick should be on the first page of the rom thread
dont flash a .51. radio........ that will brick a tmous
you might be best to start your reading in the tmous section......
best advice ive ever seen on xda.......
"read evrything......... even if you dont understand it" - samsamuel
hope that helps.......
I have a T-Mobile (TMOUS) USA myself. If you haven't already, install HSPL3 1st (fairly simple instructions in the "how to flash everything" thread. If you want to try a new radio, I would do that next. Yes, only .50 radios, NO .51 radios.
I have the newest 2.15 radio, and it works well, had 2.14 also. Both work much better for me than the 2.10 that came with the phone.
I use "Energy Rom", but I am sure others are on par with it. There are some that will not work for us, but they do note that in their thread. Good luck. For me, having a custom rom and radio made all the difference.
read EVERYTHING about the ROMS and make sure you are flashing one that is compatible with TMOUS.
as stated in a previous post, make sure you flash a radio with .50 and NOT .51 or you will brick your phone.
from what I have read on many posts here, if you install 2.08 HSPL then you cannot brick your phone but im not sure.
i flashed the 2.08 HSPL on my TMOUS HD2 and running elegancia V5 rom with no problems.
you can always flash back to the stock SPL if you need to return your phone to TMO.

HTC HD2 Question

I just bought my HTC HD2 so I'm a newbie so my question is Why is there Hspl1 Hspl2 hspl3 hspl4? what is the need for 4 of them? Can anyone help me with this please.
The phone's BIOS allows you only to upgrade the ROM (operating system) with a newer version of the same of the one you already have installed. Thus you couldn't flash a custom ROM or even the standard HTC ROM if your phone came with an Telecom Operator branded ROM.
Why the different version of HSPL? They are developed up on the SPL that the phone came with or that was flashed with (as part of an official ROM update).
The main reason for different versions is the phones and stock spls that each version allows
Hspl regular and telstra with spl 1.42
Hspl2 regular with spl 1.42 to 2.08
Hspl1024 tmous only with spl 2.08
Hspl3 all models, spl up to 2.08
Hspl4 all models, all spls.
Ohh ok thanks alot for the information
So when I put my proper HSPL on my device I can install any custom rom too my phone?
You can use any Hspl for any rom, they don't have to match.
The exception is 3.14 roms which must have 3.03.0000 or 3.03.Hspl
If you are going down the nand android route, you must use 2.08.Hspl
It doesn't matter which version of Hspl.exe you use.
2.08.Hspl from Hspl2 is IDENTICAL to 2.08.Hspl from Hspl3 which is IDENTICAL to 2.08.Hspl from hspl4.

Yes and no.
Sometimes there is no need of HSPL.
Some custom roms don't need the presence of HSPL.
It depends on your desired custom rom.
And additionally, if your desired custom rom is not based on STOCK ROM 3.14 you don't need to install HSPL3.03 with HSPL4.
Personally I'm using Artemis on my HD2 without HSPL.
These are new for me, now i knew about HSPL too, thanks for everyone.

AFAIK STOCK ROM 1.66 as base and HSPL2.08 for MAGLDR.
I don't like to test WP7 on my HD2 because of the limited functionality at the moment and I'm very satisfied with Artemis.
So, to be sure have a look on HD2 Windows Phone 7 forums.

it would have been a nice idea to mention not only that you don't really need HSPL, but also exactly how you got like that without HSPL, for those who haven't heard of SSPL or Goldcards.

no custom winmo rom requires hspl, hspl (sspl, goldcard) are only required for the actual flash. Once the rom is loaded it will continue to work regardless of whether the spl is spl or hspl.

Maybe you are right and I wasn't precise enough.
I'm using Artemis ROM and there is no need to install HSPL3.03 or using a goldcard for flashing the ROM, if you can download STOCK ROM 3.14 from HTC homepage by entering your serial number or from your provider's homepage.
If there is no STOCK ROM 3.14 available for your device then you have to use HSPL or goldcard.
First you flash STOCK ROM 3.14 with its brought along installer and then the custom ROM (Artemis) with SSPL. Both from homescreen and your HD2 connected via Active Sync or Windows Mobile device center to your PC.
