How to Downgrade Firmwares. - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Hey guys. Ive been searching very hard now to find this answer! I Updated to 2.13.531.1 And I would like to know how to go back to the firmware before it.
--Thanks!!
--Linden

did you flash it thru sd card? before flashing thru sd card, did you put hspl in your phone?
what's your stock rom?

Hmm, I dont belive so. And No. I couldent figure out how to put HSPL on it. So no. And I do not know my Stock rom.. I think it was.. 2.10..

Hi Supp,
You need to provide more info to get xda members to reply. Go to settings tab in manila - software info. There u can find ROM, OS and Manila version. Also state if your HD2 is branded. Turn off the phone, hold volume down button and on the phone. You will see a tri-color screen (Its called SPL). Post that info as well.
Suggest u start with stickies. You will need Hard SPL to flash custom roms (its not called firmwares)
HSPL2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
What ever u play with, NEVER flash 2.13 TMOUS rom using SDcard with HSPL installed - no one so far will be able to help u. You have been informed. Hopefully u have not done this fatal mistake!

Okay here we go!
OS:5.2.21892.5.0.89
Manila:2.5.20121412.2
ROM:2.13.531.1
SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE
0x05
0x40
CotullaHSPL
No idea what thats all about really..Now what..

If you have an original HTC (no vodafone,o2,tmo...)
1a) go to the htc website hd2 ROM update section and enter your serial number there
if you use a branded one
1b) visit the website of the company OR search the forum. you will find everything you need here.
2) Download and extract with winzip/winrar what ever
3) search for ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on a fresh fat32 formated sd card and put the card in your phone
4) start in bootloader (power on with vol down) and let it flash
thats it.

Well, This means u already have HSPL installed. U a have enabled it to flash any custom rom you want. I would suggest u flash through usb (may be slower, but i prefer it because HSPL cannot be overwritten and SD card will overwrite HSPL is the rom has Stock SPL bundled)
I suggest you pick any roms you heart desires and flash it since you already installed HSPL. Dont ask which custom rom is best becaused nobody here really likes that of question. Just download and try until you find the one fits your taste and style or read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683743

How can I tell which one i have?
search for ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on a fresh fat32 formated sd card and put the card in your phone
And I dont really understand that part..Sorry.

ruu_signed.nbh or LEOIMG.nbh can be found in the archive of the custom roms you downloaded. If you download stock rom, you need to extract the installshield package (just change the *.exe to *.zip and open it with winzip/winrar). When you extract whichever package you have download, thats the version number! Hope im being clear

Im sorry, but if you dont know where you bought the device you must have Alzheimer.
First try the htc website:*click*
Was it THAT hard?
It will ask for your serial number. If you dont know where to find it please READ!!!!
If your ID dont fits you bought a branded one. if you dont know the operator i cant help you!
Ulti

just becarefull when flashing....we don't know if your mobile phone is a T-mous or not...there's a different between a 1024 and 576....Mskip thread....to learn everything before you play with your expensive phone....

and by the way....you never know that your phone has already an hspl.....if i were you...you better know your stock rom before flashing anything....you might be Tmous, o2....let's just say...it's better to know your phone than in the end it's "Bricked"....

Alright. So this video is what is showing me what I need to do?

How do I get SPL-2.00 off my phone?

I think I made a grave error and updated to the TMO USA 2.02 ROM not knowing it would be watermarked all over the place. So now I'm trying to revert back to HSPL and am having no luck whatsoever. I've read and read and read but can find no clear cut path to downgrade the SPL. I really just want to get back to the WWE 1.66 official release I was running.
Can anybody please help? I've tried flashing all kinds of different ROMS including official roms but nothing works. Even from the memory card is of no help.
I hear gold card mentioned but I have no idea what that is and Google gives billions of results for gold card, nothing that explained it to me. I have to buy a gold card?
Can somebody please help?
Either downgrade my SPL or instruct me on ridding my 2.02 of these water marks. HTC Confidential is printed in the middle.
Thanks.

if you flash a stock 166 rom then you don't need goldcard.. especially with the 200spl in place.
flashing via ssdcard or using just running the full exe from windows should install the 166 complete including the 142 spl.
I know as I've done it a few times over the last couple of days.
the watermarking is nothing to do with the spl btw.. it's the ddi.dll that's the cause.
next time read a bit more before you go around flashing everything, it will save you some heartache, as the 202 rom has been discussed in some detail adn isn't suitable for noobs to use, as you've found out. .
Thanks. I did try flashing down to the official 1.66 rom WWE and neither the exe from the PC nor the leoimg.nbh worked.
Using the SD card method it flashes gray for a second with some red number up top and then returns to the rainbow bootloader screen and sits.
Using the PC method it boots the phone, gets to 1% of the flash, returns some error about communication and goes back into the 2.02
Honestly, if there were a way to remove the water mark I would be just fine with it all. I tried to replace the ddi.dll with the one from 2.01 earlier in the day but it just froze at the Stick Together first splash screen so I don't know what else to try in that regard.
edit -deleted in case I'm wrong (more often than not )
I just got done getting the 1.66 official WWE on there via SSPL. For some reason it won't let me install any custom rom via SSPL saying it loses communication with the phone.
So I'm OK for the time being.
Can somebody please direct me to the location of Gold Card? I'm having a bear of a time finding it.
Thank you very much for your help.
balane,
I feel your pain but as Fards has just said doing a significant amount of research first before jumping in can save hassle later on.
XDA can be a bit hit and miss to search so use this to help you out...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
If you search for Gold Card the 3rd or 4th item down is the thread you are looking for.
Good luck, hope you get it sorted.
All the best,
WB
OK, thanks for that. Now that I have some links I'll get to reading.
I'm pretty sure if you get the right official rom for your device, you can place the rom image as leoimg.nbh in your sdcard and it will flash for you including the spl.
had that before so the steps work for me
I would love to know which one. I know for certain that 1.66 did not work via this method. Do you have any suggestions as to which official ROM package to try?

Re:Goldcards, to make one for the leo you need PSAS, which is not free. see revskills.de

I'm pretty sure sd card flashing wont downgrade spl unless the card is gold, only overwrite same version spl

well it does for me... and I don't use goldcard. (unless you consider credit gold card as one)
you must make sure you are using an nbh rom that has spl image obviously, otherwise it won't downgrade (or upgrade) depending on your spl version in the nbh

Is it OK to keep my 1.66 official flashed via SSPL on a phone with SPL-2.0? There is no problem with that, right?

probably don't help, anyway is your SD fat32 formatted?
if yes or not, you can try to reformat SD and flash from root LEOIMG.nbh extracted from 1.66 official .exe
To restore original SPL:
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
How to take the RUU_signed.nbh file from the official shipped ROM file as most files are in the exe format -> you can extract the .exe using winrar.

This procedure worked for me. Restored back SPL 1.42 from HSPL 2.0 (and HTC Reworked)
I used the first official ROM available on htc.com and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh from it. Renamed to leoimg.nbh, put the file on microSD card, restated while holding the volume down + power button and followed on-screen instructions.

HSPL 2.0 ?? is this out???
and HTC Reworked you mean the italian chef custom rom? the custom rom don't flash spl
STOP TRYING TO USE SSPL for this.
it works ***ONLY*** for flashing the os and splash..
it doesnt flash radio or spl
You may need to format you Sdcard or try another one..
try another 166 rom, the exe (NOT the custom ruu or sspl version) will flash this over the top of 200 spl
the 200 spl is MFGR that means it's not region locked, so you dont need a goldcard to flash it..
pm me if you want a hand

Maybe not sure about the HSPL version, it was the one from here.
And yes, the HTC Reworked was a custom rom (and very buggy unfortunatelly), with 1Ghz patch and 576 RAM enabled.
Easiest (possibly) method would be to flash HardSPL and then flash the 1.66 ROM from the SD card. HardSPL will accept an SPL if flashed from SD, and HardSPL will overwrite the 2.00 SPL.

reset Hd2 to Factory status with original rom

I'm having a little problem with the super display of my BIG(marvelous)HD2..
Now after some months of playing with roms and others, i have two stains/halos near/under the battery connectors and processor..(anyone has the same ?)
I'm thinking to deliver it in Htc center
but surely not with the AxLor 10 rom flashed in...
So to reset it in Factory condition how i have to do?
I was thinking to execute Task29, and then install the 1.66 original rom
but i don't now if its all right,probably i forgot some things..
so pleeeeeeeeeeeese
can someone help me?
Thanks!!!!!

That's all you need to do mate!!!
Your HD2 will be in the very first condition from HTC.
Task29 will remove the rom and when you put your original rom back on, you can do it 1 of 2 ways:
- either flash it via sd card, or
- flash via pc and then run HSPL2 and change hspl back to spl 1.66.0000
The removal of hspl is key as most service centres will check for this

Check your spl version to make sure hspl has been removed
Sorry Clyde..
how to check?
the original rom upgrade is an exe file so, i think i will be ok the spl on tasked29 memory.. i think..
probably this afternoon i'll try all..i'll let you know!

No, running the exe file will not replace the spl version. This can only be done if you flash the rom.nbh file via the sd card.
The easiest way though is to run the exe and then use hspl2 to revert to your stock spl. To check your spl version, switch the device off and then while holding the volume down button in switch the device on. It will boot up in a multicoloured screen and will display the spl version.
i executed the task29 by ShaDrac ( with radio....)
now when i enter in boot loader: picture it's really bad.. I have:
PB81100 HK-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
i don't think it's ok.. I'm not sure..
reading CotullaHSPL, it means it was not factory default.. or not ? bhuuuu..
the rom now is 1.66..
pleeeze it's factory default now?
its only stock once the spl ends .0000
like clyde mentioned, your next step is to run hspl2 and choose an spl that ends 0000, and that will remove the 1.42.hspl and replace it with stock.
Go for 1.66.0000 since that is the rom you are running.
thanks today i'll try now i have to gooo
thaaaaaankz
NO, the 1.66 rom comes with the 1.42 SPL, flash that.

want to re-have my perfect BIG displays..
can i send it so done, in assistance?
in the image you can see (+or-) the end boot loader result..
thankz again guys
then i'm thinking to keep the original rom just tweaked with cookie's super add-onS and somethings else,preventing any problems...
yea thats fine.
ok.... i have finally got my hd2 2 the point where im happy with all apps and mods ect ect... however i am lookin 4 a way 2 restore it 2 the exact original i got out of the box... i mean everything restored... reg entrys... rom... spl... ect ect as i have changed and rechanged everything so many times i think i have a few bugs.... so my plan is 2 restore everything and set it to how i have it now in 1 go so i dont ''piss it off'' in random changes... my specs are below in my signature which look pretty standard but i have done many registry tweaks and installed many applications which i have chopped and changed many times... also tried to install duttys rom many times but that kept failing and hspl would never install so that could maybe be a small factor in the few bugs i have... the main bugs are to do with random freezing here and there... battery drain... and overall performance... im aware some of this is due to the apps i have installed but i had a very simmilar setup a short while ago and this worked fine... but as im never happy with what i have i messed around a lil more and here i am... so any advice would be grately aprieciated... and if any software is required could u possibly post the links....??? many thanks in advance... luke

Restoring to stock

Quick one:
I've got the WWE HD2, sending it to HTC repair tomorrow so I need to flash it back to all stock firmware. What exactly do I need to do ? I'm asking cause I've heard of some bricked devices cause by restoring to stock the wrong way and wanted to be sure.
Do I need to flash back first the SPL from HSPL or the ROM to 1.66 I've had ?
flash 1.66 rom, then run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
Where can I find one to download ? the ROM that is
leo official roms thread in rom development section (it will be on page 1,2 or 3, or use the stickies sticky at the top of the list), first post, first link, 1,66 folder.
Ok cool, but which one should I get ? what are the differences ?
just pick a stock rom that has been released in your region. Take the .nbh, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and drop it on the root of your storage card.
Put the phone into bootloader, and it will flash the stock ROM and relock the phone, all in one step.
I've downloaded the most popular ROM there and executed it, I didn't move any files to my SD. So now I've got the stock ROM loading but the it's not with the original SPL yet right ? I need to flash that back too ?

Sorry I'm such a noob but the disclaimer says :
5) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
So I need to put this file on my device first and then use the HSPL2 utility ?
no..thats only for HSPL.
hspl2 can install SPL's as well.
so, you've got your stock rom and only need your stock spl...
do, what samsamuel says!

[Q] My phone is not booting LEOIMG.nbh

SOLVED
Thanks to all the helpers; it turned out that this was the problem
Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up ;-))

Hello,
I've tried to search around for a solution to this problem for a few hours, so I'll dare to ask my question in a new thread
To make things short! I'm trying to reset absolutely everything to the way it was when I got the phone; radio, stock ROM, bootloader etc because I experience trouble with the phone. The problems started after I used the HTC program from the HTC website to reinstall windows mobile (for the interested, more on that in the next section). I am now trying to flash LEOIMG.nbh to the phone via the bootloader - but nothing just plain happens. I am 120 % certain that I've done everything correctly - formatting SD card to FAT32, load LEOIMG.nbh to it (and not LEOIMG.nbh.nbh, or something else) - it just won't start, and displays the tri - color screen. Says something about 2.08 HSPL, so I think the bootloader version is correct.
So, for the interested - after using Android for a few days I decided I wanted to use WM because it's better for me. So as stated above, I used the HTC installer from the HTC website to install windows mobile over some custom ROM. But having trouble with the wifi, I think it didn't install the correct radio version - do you think I am correct? In any case, I decided I wanted to do it the correct way this time, and extract the RUU_signed file to SD card and go.
Some extra info...
When starting bootloader, it says

The stock ROM I am trying to flash, I got from the HTC support website
*I was not alloved to post links to external website, but it was supposed to be here ;-))*
So I've downloaded the latest ROM upgrade (in Norwegian, "ROM oppgradering" on the site) using a norwegian serial number I found in another thread. I've opened it with winrar, and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh file.. Does this answer you question? In one of the tutorials to reset the phone said for me to "download a RUU_signed.nbh file from *here*", but there were so many different files in there... So I just downloaded the official newest ROM upgrade from the HTC website.
My SD card is of size 16 GB, but right now I just tried with another one of 2 GB size. No change........
Why do you used a serial number which is not yours? The phone is stollen? (just kidding)... As an advice, if you want to be sure to flash the correct ROM use your own serial number on the HTC website.
If you bought your phone in another country (I've done this... from a country I can't even read a word) then put back in the original language.
When back to "original" you can always flash again the hardspl then the ROM you like in Norvegian.
Anyway with the info provided the radio has not been flashed.
info: when you say the radio flash through WiFI... nothing will never be flashed via Internet (cable or WiFi). It's downloaded on your computer then (and only then) flashed to your device.
Question: could your phone can access the SD when in your actual OS?
Idea: flash back to WM6 via USB then try again. It seems you're doing all good but that the SD is not recognized.
To be honest, I used the serial number on the forum because I couldn't be arsed to remove the battery.... )
I think you've misunderstood me a bit; I've not tried to flash the phone over wifi...
So, any suggestions as to what could be the reason for the bootloader not starting LEOIMG.nbh?

No make sure your phone access the SD. You're actually under Anrdoid or WinMo? Honnestly I don't understand your problem (I mean I understand your problem but can't understand why... very usefull post so)
euh... by the way. The only way to go out of the bootloader if you don't flash is to remove the battery no?
I'm trying not to get into reasons to make the post short and consise; suffice to say I got some troubles (memory leak, wifi) under winmo 6.5 after I've been doing some flashin. So I want everything back the way it was - radio, bootloader, winmo 6.5. Just as if I got it for the first time! I think after all the posts I've been reading this can be done by flashing that LEOIMG.nbh from som official stock rom with the bootloader.
BUT ---- the bootloader doesn't load LEOIMG.nbh!
You think 100% right.
I'll do the test on mine and post if it works or not (I'll only flash a radio, sorry but don't want to erase all my data).
Ok, I download radio 50.14 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787&highlight=radio
Rename exactly as you write in the post LEOIMG.nbh
Put on the root of my SD
Power the phone while holding vol down.
My phone asked directly if I want to update (so I pressed vol down to cancel).
You can try with the same file to see if the file you have is corrupted.
If it's the same... SD access problem??? So HW problem... not good.
You can try to reflash the HSPL just in case.
Don't know if it will help but my HSPL gives a different info:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
So all is the same except I have 0X30 and you 0x40
My HD2 is a European on (non-TMOUS).
Tried reflashing the HSPL. I noticed something interesting actually..
The screen flashes grey for about 100 ms! So when I enter bootloader with <vol down>, it shows tricolor screen, then flashes grey, then comes back into tricolor... Think I read something similar in another post...
Thanks for trying so hard to help mister! I don't know if it is my english or anything, but I'm trying to flash the entire stock ROM as described in another tutorial here (still can't post links...), not just the radio..
If I knew which radio was the correct one for me, I'd just flash that one instead, but I have not found any info on this anywhere..
I'll see if I can format the SDcard to FAT32 once more and try again..
Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up )
Good to hear that!
You learned me something with your format.

[Q] HTC HD2 SPL Version

Alright,
Today my touchscreen stoped working. I was running android and the phone has the HSPL 2.08 version installed.
After one day trying to get it to work, i managed to flash the 6.5 win mo back. After that i thought the HSPL was gone, well you guessed already, it didn't. So i used the HSPL 4 installation tool, selected spl 2.08 and booted right into boot loader to see if it worked. And well yes it worked but here comes the question.
Now there are 4 sentences:
The first with a serial code starting with PB and ending with -BC
Second it states SPL-2.08.0000 8g XE
Third MicroP(LED) 0x05
At last: MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
My phone is from the beginning of 2010 i want to send it to htc to let the screen be replaced, my question is: is the SPL version the right version and will there be no ugly questions from HTC if i was running android / had HSPL installed?
Already thanks!
That spl 2.x is only correct if you have a tmous.
Assuming you don't have a tmous, You should either flash the rom again but from sd, or use HSPL2 or HSPL4 to match the spl to the rom.
If you Do have a tmous, that's fine.

It looks right to me.
The surest way to do this though is to find your stock ROM via HTC Support (international) or tmobile support (TMOUS), they will have you enter your IMEI/SN and so will ensure you get the correct stock ROM from your phone.
You have to flash via SD, RUU will not replace your SPL, but SD will replace your SPL and everything else to ensure it is on the correct stock everything.
Thanks for the reply's,
Dont got a tmous. So if im correct i need to place the the file in the .exe file from the htc support site (witch i downloaded the latest rom) named: RUU_signed.nbh toe leoimg.nbh and put in on my sd card, next i need to go into boot loader and it will do all the work?
I found a video what describes stated above: http://www.youtube.com/user/inmatrixout#p/u/6/N5gYQ3A7KqA
Thanks!
Alright,
Just put the nbh file to my sd card and renamed it to leoimg.nbh then booted into the bootloader and the 3 colord screen pops up. Next screen flashes to white with blue letters saying: loading...
Stil is there after 2 mins, in other words.. freezed.. what sould i do?
Already thanks!

what size sd card are you using ?
If you have 2gb it will be fine just be sure to format with "fat32".
Make sure sd card work well.
Make sure your battery isnt under 50%.
And finally make sure you downloaded right rom.
thats all, try that and report back , i hope you succeed .

Reporting back..
I have a 8 gb card, witch i formated to fat32, i dunnow if i got the right rom, well i got this rom: klik from the xda page klik
But i downloaded another rom from the htc site, i didnt flash it with that one, but i did with the one i provided by link.
Already thanks!
Greetz prom
Oh, and by the way, it seems that the rom i downloaded from the htc site is simalar to one i downloaded and flashed provided by me in the link above.
-- Update:
- After watching the video i provided earlier and examine it closly i saw that the hspl version (1.42) was changed to spl 1.42. I know i did install hspl 2.08 with hspl 4 and did uninstall hspl with hspl 4 just by selecting the option spl 2.08 (or something like that.) Next poped up a alert box witch told me it was done.
So im asuming its good to go for servicing..? What you guy's think?

ok... if still that doesnt work try 2gb sd card and make sure you download rom from htc web site with your phone serial number, because if you have wrong rom you may brick your phone.
if it successfully flashed from SD and you do not have HSPL anymore then you are good to go.

Well thats what i wanted to tel you is if you look at the picture youll see a red line, in my case there is standing SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE, the other information is indentical to mine. So, i think i got HSPL Uninstalled, what do you think?
Thanks!
Yes, you no longer have HSPL on there, which is good.
But if I understand you, it now says 2.08 which is not ok for regular hd2. Yes it works, yes it's stock, but spl 2. ONLY ships with tmous roms, therefore any regular hd2 found with spl 2 can only have gotten in that position using hspl or Goldcard,,, both warranty voiding practices.
For reg leo, you need 1.42.0000. 1.66.0000 or 3.03.0000
Alright, the 1.66 sounds familiar. But my usb port is olmost broken. What to do what to do.. :S
from the menu i only could choos 3.03.00 so flashed it, dft we hacked it come on front but it doesnt matter... now there is this information about the spl:
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
Hope that this is the good one???
Alright, another update...
- thought to myself, 3.03 well if this is the one, the leoimg.nbh should work.. And guess what.. its updating from the leoimg.nbh witch was extracted from the exe file, witch i downloaded with my serial number.. i think im good to go
- last update
-- update complte
-- UPDATE SUCCESS
Sounds clear to me, in boot loader no hspl or something like that.. thanks for the help guy's!!
Cheers to yall!
My advice is to go to the HTC Website and download the ROM for your phone (you need to put the phone's serial number to get the ROM). Since you are returning it for repair, then it doesn't matter what version of the ROM you use as long as it is a valid one for your phone.
Take the downloaded .exe file and rename it to .zip. extract the .nbh file and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. place it in the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD Card (less than 8GB in size).
Boot the phone into Bootloader mode and the ROM will flash - if you follow the instructions.
These stock ROMs (and the mobile phone company branded ROMs) contain the main ROM, the RADIO ROM and the SPL. and by using the SD Card method ensures that everything is flashed.

Thanks for the info, why i couldn't flash it..? I think because it was expecting a tmous rom, (2.08 spl) just redid it with hspl 4 dont ask me how i managed to do it with a broken usb port on the phone.. :S. Well i managed and did accomplish it. Rom 3.03 is on it now. Tomorrow im going to the htc store for servicing.
Thanks to all!
Greets prom!
I assume that you meant a 3.14 ROM with a 3.03.0000 SPL.
