This procedure will tell you how to downgrade your SPL from 2.10.0000 (shipping stock now with TMO HD2) to 2.08 so that you may flash HARD SPL.
So for those who just received your TMO HD2's and want to start the process, this needs to be done before flashing HSPL and flashing custom ROMs.
1. Download this file:
www.2shared.com/file/MAsa78Yo/leoimg.html
www.megaupload.com/?d=VQ11Z040
2. Place the downloaded above LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card (formatted in FAT32 is recommended)
3. Turn HD2 completely off. While holding POWER button also Hold the Volume Down button at the same time.
4. As soon as "Loading..." appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button. You will see a message stating how to proceed to flash the ROM.
5. The ROM will flash now. After its done your phone should reboot. Do a factory reset to clear out anything left over from previous ROM.
Now you should remove the SD CARD and reboot while holding the volume down button. On the tricolored bootload screen you should now see a SPL of 2.08. You are now ready to flash HSPL and then on to flashin all these great ROMs here on XDA.

Yes, it has to be a 8gb or smaller. I have not tried a SD larger than 8GB personally. But, it has been posted in more than one thread that it is required.

hey.please can you double confirm for me that you can downgrade phones that shipped with 2,13 from spl 2.10.0000 to spl 2.08.0000 over usb?
did you both start from stock 2.13 (I.e neither of you had done any flashing of any kind before that first downgrade)

From what I understand flashing via the SD card will assure your SPL wil be replaced (downgraded) properly. If you flash via the USB not sure if this process will complete properly. Im no expert but one thing I have learned from flashing my G1 hundreds of times, LISTEN TO THE SENIOR MEMBERS AND MODS.
It has been stated more than once here on XDA HD2 Tmo Dev section that you must flash VIA SD.
But a 16gb card wont worK? So I have to go buy a smaller one or wait for a updated hspl?
i downgraded and HSPLed my phone succesfully
thanks
I have a T-mobile HTC HD2 that had spl 2.10 which i received few days ago. I flashed a tmobile stock rom to downgrade to spl 2.08 through usb and installed hspl2 with no problem. You don't have to flash it via sd card.
Currently running Kumar's Rom V 2.0 with radio 2.10.50.26 (flashed radio afterwards)
SPL Downgrade help
I have a new hc hd2 and I attempted to downgrade the spl to 2.08.000 from 2.10 so that i could install HSPL2 1024. I attemted to downgrade via SD card and the spl downgrade failed and i am stuck at the bootloader screen after volume down reboot with, "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again".. in the green area. Please inform how to fix, and get my htc hd2 back. Thanks Also i found out after the fact that it is better to do via USB, how would I do that when my phone is stuck? It also has RUUNBH in the upper right hand corner.
Last noob question. When you say you did it through usb, do you mean you just connected your device to the computer transfered the file to the phone and did the whole reset thing? Sorry.

Help!
First time attempt at using HPSL and may have bricked my HD2 :-(
I have a Voda supplied HD2 so can't install the stock ROMs directly...I thought I would be able to do so via HPSL, but it seems not. I was trying to install 1.66 (UK WWE) following the HPSL for dummies guide, and did the following:
- installed HPSL onto HD2, confirmed by going into bootloader
- put nbh file (extracted from stock .exe) onto SD card, named LEOIMG.nbh
- entered bootloader and chose flash option via power button
- flash started (minimal progress)
- within 2mins error showed
- now going into bootloader shows
00028002
Not allow
then..
SPL-1.42.0000 :-(
Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
If I start normally I get a warning triangle.
How can I get my HD2 back from the dead, ideally with 1.66 rather than the crummy Voda 1.43? (can anyone point me at a stock ROM for the voda 1.43, perhaps that would at least unbrick it?)
Help!!!!
*EDIT* Currently downloading the Voda 1.43 image, hoping I can at least get that back and running...if that works will still be keen to find out how to apply stock 1.66 via HPSL (bearing in mind that the CID lock(?) means I can't apply 1.66 on my voda device thru normal means)

The 3rd sticky down in the HD2 ROM Development thread is titled, "[REF]Leo Official ROMs" - Click that.
Then click, "Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs".
The first "box" will have the title "Leo 1.43" under it. Click the hand carrying the folder icon.
You'll be greeted with 3 ROM's, select RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe and download it.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with getting your phone back up and running.
Your device is not bricked. I think you have not installed HSPL properly.
Try installing HSPL again. As it seems your HSPL is not installed properly. Follow the following instructions very carefully :
Connect your phone to USB
I think when you boot in by default your device goes into bootloader if not press volume down + power butoon on the same time, your phone will enter tri color bootloader mode.
At the bottom of your screen it shoul show "USB"
Now download the HSPL.zip file(I have attached it here)
Now run HSPL.exe and follow the onscreen insteuctions.(Mostly you have nothing to do it will start installing automatically)
After a while on the screen of your phone a text will appear saying "We hacked it". If this text is displayed then everything went ok. Now confirm by clicking yes on the computer screen and it will finish the process.
All done.
Your phone will restart.
If you want to check that your fone has HSPL then press volume down+power key at the same time. The phone will enter into bootloader and should show "cotullaHSPL".
Now you can install any ROM and it will run properly.
Thanks - had just found that and started downloading as you posted this..fingers crossed! If this works will still be keen on ways to apply 1.66 (stock) to my voda CID locked device.

This is exactly what happened 1st time I installed HSPL...however trying it again did get the phone back and apparenty healthy again....thanks!
So - 2nd attempt to flash the 1.66 ROM, same as before. Confirmed HSPL installed via tri-colour bootloader screen, selected (via power button) option to flash from SD. Progress bar gets to (max) 10%, Warning triangle briefly shows then phone goes back to tricolour bootloader (but with std. SPL version) and nothing more happens.
Should I be waiting longer ? i.e. is the phone potentially still flashing when on the tricolour, std. SPL, screen ? Not flashed an HD2 before so not 100% sure I'm doing this right..will double check videos on this site, sure I'm just being stupid/impatient/not read enough....may try downloading the ROM again incase corrupted.
Anyway, HSPL installed for 3rd time and phone appears fine back running with 1.43.
People please read the HSPL thread properly, once you have installed the HSPL you CANNOT install from SD card you HAVE TO USE THE PC to install any rom images that are not original HTC.

Yeah, the 1.66 ROM you've downloaded may be corrupted. And next time, try installing the ROM with USB connection and the ROM's .exe file. You SPL is reverting back to stock, so it's possible that the culprit is flashing with SD.
OK, problem solved...
Rather than installing the stock ROM via HSPL bootloader I installed HSPL and then ran the RUU exe for the stock ROM. Phone now upgraded

I believe Dragon Soft was possibly referring to not using a stock ROM from SD? If I remember correctly flashing a Stock ROM from SD with HSPL on will remove HSPL.
So in other words, if you have HSPL and want to have a stock ROM, it is best install it from the PC when connected via ActiveSync as this won't affect the HSPL.
Custom ROM absolutely no probs with flashing from SD, the HSPL will stay intact, good work on the video ★

I got my Leo two days ago, went home, put HSPL on it in the first place, wanted to upgrade the stock ROM, and ended up same as CraigBruce. Really frustrating, thought I'd bricked it. So I re-flashed HSPL and this time a custom ROM and it was back up again.
Now I know that I should have flashed the stock ROM via ActiveSync and not SD card which would have left the HSPL intact. I will definitely remember that for the future
just remember that some people WANT to remove HSPL when installing a stock ROM - e.g. when returning device.
tbh it should have worked with stock ROM and sdcard as leoimg.nbh - it is the way listed in HSPL thread to uninstall after all!!! we dont always want to use customRUU!!!
As from the noob flashing thread
NOTE: The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from microSD card
* You can also use this method to flash back your Stock Rom and Stock SPL that you originally had on your phone*
VIDEO TUTORIAL: [★] has made a YouTube video to walk people through flashing a Stock SPL via activesync. Find it *HERE*
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

With hspl installed you CAN flash CUSTOM roms using sd card, it is only flashing OFFICIAL roms through sd card that removes hspl.

Use the custom ruu to flash it. Do not put the nbh on the sd. I quote from the "[HSPL]How to flash everything" thread:
4) 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.

No Problem Flashhing to 1.66 on a Voda HD2 with HSPL
I have a voda HD2 and being a total Newbie to the HTC / WM .. I followed the Dummie guide.. (thanx to all, for that.. fantastic..) installed HSPL..and then installed the latest 1.66 from the HTC site using a boggus serial number.. As actual would not let me download it. No problemo..
Feeling a bit more adventureous.. any suggestions for the best 'cooked Rom' ??
From my understanding, you can flash away Stock ROMS using activesync. No need for HSPL.
WELCOME...I'M A NOOB...PLEASURE TO MEET YOU!
Enough with the pleasantries!
Recently received an HTC HD2 T-Mobile USA. I managed to flash HSPL and placed Kumar's ROM on the phone. Everything worked great! I decided to SD Card back to a shipped ROM (I think this was were my issue started) and now the ROM has the following watermark:
357779031197195
HTC CONFIDENTIAL
HT042PR01628
Phone works fine. I am able to make and receive calls, text, picture MMS, email, 3G, etc. Just trying to get rid of the watermark and from my extensive readings the solution is stamp another ROM on the device.
I am attempting to get another ROM on my HD2 but have been unsuccessful. I have tried the following:
- HSPL_1024 (SPL MISMATCH)
- SSPL (INCORRECT CID)
- USPL (INCORRECT CID)
- Blackstone (I DONT REMEMBER)
- SD Card OFFICIAL (OFFICIAL) LEOIMG.NBG (STUCK ON LOADING...)
- Gold Card (USED PSAS (UNREGISTERED) TO OBTAIN SD ID, PASTE TO PSAS FREE G1 GOLDCARD IMG, CHANGED FIRST TWO DIGITS TO 00 AND 11 W/MULTIPLE SD CARDS)
I'm sure there are some intelligent mates out there that can easily solve this issue. Use me as your guinea pig if you'd like!

My SPL has changed from 2.00 to 2.02 (2.02.0000 XE) with the 2.03 ROM flash.
Any thoughts?

No gold card on the 2.03 update. Standard 2GB SD card worked! I may need gold card on the 2.05 and up....we'll see.
Good to hear some progress.
Let us know the final result please
BTW, thanks for the $.

Last night I tried to get 2.05 flashed but was unsuccessful. The methods I tried:
- SD Card (Stuck on white screen loading...)
- ActiveSync (Stuck on "HTC 0%" screen)
- GoldCard (Stuck on white screen Loading...)
- SSPL (Does not make it to the bootloader screen, the phone screen goes blank (still on I believe)
- Tried mtty to create a clean slate. Would not take 2.05, however, took 2.03 fine....whoa...got a little nervous after this attempt
My thoughts (keep in mind I'm a noob):
1. The 2.05 ROM I downloaded from xmoo is not a TRUE OFFICIAL ROM, but a repacked ROM, whereas the 2.03 ROM was TRUE. Like there's a missing step in my ladder.
2. During the multiple step trial process to get 2.03 ROM on my phone I may have done something to kick my phone into gear, the success of 2.03 install may have reset that gear. With trying to get 2.05 ROM on my device I may not have found that same gear.
3. Be patient until that ULTIMATE_FABO_SUPERHSPL_CID_SECURITY_OVERRIDE_MEGA_FLASH piece of software launches that is able to flash ANY ROM's 100% successful....via bluetooth!
What are your thoughts my friend?
to tell the difference between an official and a repack, if it comes as a single .exe file, it is an official stock rom. If it comes in a zip, and when you extract it there are two files, the .nbh file and customruu.exe, then it is a dump of a rom that has then been rebuilt into what your phone sees as a cooked rom.

Did you try flashing HSPL now or atleast by gold card 2.10? or 2.07 or 2.09?

Attempted to flash HSPL 1024 with no success (Bad SPL version.) I also tried to flash 2.05, 2.07, and 2.09 through activesync with no success (each time it stalls on the HTC screen at 0%.)
I will attempt to flash 2.10 (for kick and giggles) then hit the gold card method one more time. Seems as if I may be stuck at 2.02 SPL

Not through activesync, you have to use gold card for flashing 2.05,07,etc.
If you succeed with one, try with 2.10 next

No go. Tried to gold card about half a dozen rom's with no success. I guess its time to hurry and wait!
Folks,
HD2 from Telstra ( 2nd May ) running 1.66. Tried flashing it with 1.48 and 1.43 Rom's -- so I could then go to HSPL and a custom Rom, but no luck.
The Rom Update Utility starts and tells me I have image version 1.72.841.0, I click to update to 1.43.405.1 ( or 1.48 - have tried both ), then the 4 colour screen which notes 1.66. Then it goes to a HTC screen with a deployment bar, gets to only 1%.......then boom - error 294 invalid vendor id.......
What am I missing here ??
you need to flash thedowngrade from sd card, then you can hspl, and THEN flash from usb
At least your effort got that far.... i couldnt even see the zip open.
OS 5.2.21869
Manila 2.5.20121431.1
Rom 1.72.841.0
If someone can confirm what I need to do with what i'd REALLY appreciate it.
Have the backup rom just incase already.
you missed out all the important info.
what zip can't you open? what phone? what you trying to achieve?
assuming telstra like the op,
1 right click the telstra 1.4 rom .exe choose unzip here, or extract here
2 find ruu signed.nbh copy it to sd card rename it leoimg.nbh
3 phone off hold vol down, tap and release power, keep holding voldown till you see three coloured screen, should quickly change grey and start a card flash.
4 when complete and phone restarts hold vol down to re enter bootloader
5 run hspl as administrator using a usb port round the back of the pc,
6 when it completes, and phone reboots, enter bootloader yet again, and check that it says spl 1.42.hspl.
now, so long as you don't sd card flash hspl will stay and protect against bad flashes, flash what you like.

What 1.48 and 1.43 roms did you try? They need to be Telstra roms, as you can't just use any 1.48 or 1.43 rom and this is what is causing the invalid vendor id error. Once you are back to 1.42.0000 spl (after flashing a telstra rom) you can then run hspl and are then free to flash what ever your heart desires.
I have a Telstra HD2 as well (1.66)...got it recently and will flash it soon.
I don't understand the original poster's concern - why go through all that to flash HSPL, when apparently HSPL2 can be easily flashed over 1.66...which allows you to further flash any ROM ??? Is there a benefit of HSPL over HSPL2 that I am missing?
Thanks in advance
edit: my bad, just read in the HSPL thread that HSPL2 does not work with the telstra hd2.

keep reading, you still have lots to learn, hspl2 doesn't work on telstra.
Oh, my spl is 1.66.0000
I understand I must use HSPL (not HSPL2) on a Telstra ph. but can anyone recommend which rom to use? I've been reading for two days solid and can't decide!
I've copied all the guides etc so hopefully won't have a prob'... am just worried about warranty protection etc if it all goes pear shaped... i just want all this B.S. bloatware OFF MY phone!!!
Thanx in advance once again
I am in the same position, my Telstra ROM is 1.72 running SPL 1.66.0000.
HSPL utility tells me that "Model ID is invalid" or something like that.
okay, one more time.....
only the original hspl works on telstra,
hspl2 does not work. (bad model ID)
you need to downgrade to a 1.4 rom with spl 1.42.0000.
so, get the original telstra 1.49.8xx rom from HERE (registration required)
when its downloaded, move it to its own folder somewhere, then right click the .exe file and choose extract here. (if that option isnt available, install winrar)
when it has extracted, find teh file RUU_Signed.nbh, copy it to your sd card and rename it leoimg.nbh
restart your phone in bootloader mode, it should detect the leoimg.nbh and start to flash
this will reset your spl to 1.42.0000 and now you can use HSPL, and then flash any rom you like.
Thanks for the link to HTCpedia mate. I'd actually just found it myself by performing a thread search on the "Official HTC ROM's" thread. Downloading now.
Stupidly I've had problems after problems trying to get HSPL on my device. I actually started out on this ROM (1.49.x with SPL 1.42.0000). First I tried flashing from my Vista x64 machine, both HSPL2 and HSPL with errors, in my haste I thought I might need update to the latest Telstra ROM 1.72.x with SPL 1.66.0000 so I could use HSPL2 when in actual fact I just had the x64 USB driver problem, of course then the upgrade still didn't allow me to flash and made my situation harder as I had to find this original ROM again to downgrade.
Anyways I hope this works!
It works!
- flash rom back to 1.49.x with SPL 1.42.0000
- run HSPL with device connected via USB
- flash radio using CustomRUU
- flash ROM using CustomRUU
@rainey06au what Radio do you use with your Telstra HD2?
Got my Telstra HD2 running 1.49 last week and it's my first play with Windows Mobile .. couldn't wait to clear the Telstra image from the phone as my provider is Three.
Did plenty of reading and all the posts said to use the original HSPL first, this worked perfect first go.
Once done I tried the new Artemis_v110 rom, was very impressed except experienced 2 to 3 random reboots a day, even more while in YouTube player. Everything else woked well, reception, battery life, and clarity while on calls.
Decided yesterday to try another rom, first cleared all using Task29 format, then loaded HyperROM Ultimate v9.00 WM6.5.X but this didn't get through the first boot .. possibly due to radio required.
Now have flashed back to 1.48.4052 until I research some more.
Anyone recommend a rom and suitable radio for the Telstra HD2, anyone with Three?
Thankx
Thanks. Works a treat!
I knew I had to downgrade but couldn't find an old Telstra ROM.

I am also using Telstra HD2 and recently flashed it with Miri Rom. I like Miri because it doesn't have any customization. It has many versions to choose from, with and without Sense UI. It also retain all the original WM icons and themes which I like.
But like all ROMs, I do experience reboot but only once so far with the new version of Miri v17. One thing to note is the Radio version for the ROM. Make sure you flash the exact correct radio version, down to the sub version, e.g. 2.07.50 is recommended for Miri and not 2.07.51 (which is the Telstra radio version).
Another advise is always flash from pc, not SD card as I have experienced bad flash using SD card.
Hope this helps. Miri is only available from the HTCPedia site.
Yep my radio version is also 2.07.50. I get good battery life out of it using CleanEX_UDT HyperROM Ultra v9.00 (6.5).
I use Lia Glass ROM and FallOut Theme.
Interestingly this ROM and radio has only unlocked 455.54MB RAM, not the full 576MB. There are threads about this and getting the right combo will unlock the remaining RAM and/or improve battery performance.
I am using Radio 2.08.50.05.
Anyone else have the same experience?

look in settings about phone hardware info ram size.
I bet it says 576
that's cos the hardware takes 128 for graphics.
look st a standard rom and hardware will show 448 whilst total available will show 336
Thanks samsamuel.
Hardware info does in fact say 576MB RAM
Thanks for the explanation - slowly but surely getting my head around the intricacies of the device
Please Help me i installed hspl and than uninstalled it and ow the spl is 2.08.000 and when i bought the hd2 it was 2.10 HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey i think that the new hspl reverts to 208 because 2.10 won't work it downgrades your spl i would search the thread on how to revert to stock
download and install T-Mobile 2.13 Rom.
i also tried that, but it still says 2.08
saying "i have 2.08" is like saying "i have a ford"..... a ford what?
what does it actually say? 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl ?
i suspect it says .hspl, because that would prevent the 2.13 rom from upgrading the spl to 2.10.0000, which many people will tell you works when your spl is 2.08.0000
yea i also want to upgrade back to hspl 2.10, and i did the tmobile update it still says hspl 2.08.000
You can get back to spl2.10 by flashing stock T-mobile 2.13 via SD card. Plenty of info of how to flash rom with SD card. I hope it can help.
what do you do if your phone doesn't allow dls
My phone doesn't allow downloading from the sd. It posts Improper certification or parts missing. Obtain proper certificate of reload item. It has been doing this since it blew away my downloaded built of android when I touch the windows start button next to the home button below the screen. I have searched for an answer, but can't find one. I even flashed hspl3, and I still can't flash android?

Hi everyone!
Been surfing the web and xda for solutions to this for 5 hours straight and I can't find anything that helps me with my problem. Can't find a thread about it either, so I hope you guys can help me.
So I got my HD2, trying to run Android on it via NAND, but first off I'm not able to use MAGLDR; When the HTC-screen with the progress bar comes up, but just locks up on 0%.
I google it, and look it up here, seems i need to run HardSPL and get a new to get this badboy to work, but when i try running that, i get the error message "Bad spl".
Now where do i go from here? Did i miss something when looking for the info?
If anyone has a solution to my problem, I would be thrilled.
And if you need any info, just post and i'll provide whatever info you need!
Thanks in advance!
I've got the same problem. Already got the original 3.14 WM rom and darkstone froyo superram installed.
Today I wanted to flash to a NAND rom, but had the same problem as you. Could have something to do with HardSPL not flashing the stock 3.03 SPL.
I'm also waiting for help
Hello,
I also ran into the same problems as you guys. It very important that you flash a rom that a HASPL lower then version 3. I notice that 3.14 stock rom comes with version 3.xxx of HASPL what made it impossible to flash to 2.08 HASPL what is also needed for MAGLDR 1.11.
So I flashed a the 1.66 stock rom version from my SD card then there was an older HASPL present on my hd2. So far, so good. Then i flashed to MAGLDR 1.11. But my hd2 won't start up anymore. Just the white HTC screen. The reason was that my radio version wasn't the right one. It has to end on x.50 and not x.51. So I flashed a x.50 version of the radio. Then I flashed MAGLDR and I was on my way again for android nand flash.
Hope this helps ...
Grtz
Check your radio version
I have the same problem like you,
I resolve the problem when I change the radio version to Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
P.S. When you flash with some old official ROM you also change radio ROM
now everything work
If you have SPL 3.03, you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 directly into it. It will not work.
So if you have a HD2 device with 3.14 HTC HD2 official firmware, you will have SPL 3.03.
You must downgrade your SPL 3.03 to SPL 2.xx or SPL 1.xx before HSPL 2.08 can be installed.
US T-MOBILE HD2 (1024MB ROM)
You need to find 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE from T-MOBILE website.
You cannot use 3.14.531.1, which is the thing that gave the SPL 3.13 in the first place.
You need to extract from the EXE file using 7-ZIP or WinRAR RUU_signed.nbh, and rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and put it on a FAT32 MicroSD card, then turn off your device, hold volume button, then turn on the device.
PRAY.
HTC HD2 (512MB ROM)
You guys are lucky.
Goto HTC's website, choose the country where your phone is from.
Download 2.xx or 1.xx version of the official ROM
Extract RUU_signed.nbh and rename it to leoimg.nbh, then copy to FAT32 MicroSD Card.
Turn off the device, hold volume button, then turn on the device.
After the SPL is no longer 3.13, use HSPL3_PK and update to HSPL 2.08
Remember to flash your radio to 2.15.50.14.
