Will there ever be any ROMs for 2.13 so we don't have to downgrade?
SPL 2.13? Do you mean SPL 2.10, on Stock ROM 2.13? You can actually just downgrade by flashing stock 2.10.1 via USB...as long as the ROM contains SPL 2.08.
Confused?....there's a pretty easy guide to follow on the front page. And to answer your question, the ROM has nothing to do with the version of SPL on your phone.
SPL is like a gateway on your phone. The stock SPL has pretty strict regulations: HSPL (what you flash over the stock SPL with) is like an open door. It allows you to flash whatever ROM you choose on your phone.
So no, there probably will never be any custom ROM's specifically built for SPL 2.10 because the ROM and SPL/HSPL version are two very different independent things.

Got it. I tried that HSPL and flashing from SD without, also HSPL2 and couldn't get it to work. My stock ROM is fast after I made my registry tweaks. Don;t really see to much of a use to really spend allot of time on this since most custom roms are eye candy.

Hi i already bricked one touch hd,with is now on the graveyard...And before i brick my second one i want to know what rom i can use.
I just uspl my rom so it says now spl-1.15.uspl
what rom can i use? And mabey it's easyer to split the rom in sections for lets say hspl roms,uspl roms spl roms because now it's a kind off a mess in the rom section...agree?
so what rom can i use now with my spl 1.15 uspl version so that i don't brick my second(new) blackstone
thnx for the answer.
ps i prefer dutch rom,but wwe is good also.
regards stef
With spl 1.15 you can only use some of the older stock roms and probably only those that are available via the htc website. You will need to put in your imei number and only if there is an upgrade can you change roms.
Any other rom (and specifically the cooked roms) will require you to go with either hspl or uspl. There are no roms that are hspl only or uspl only. The choice is up to you as to which route you want to take. Therefore there is no need to sort the roms in the forum into those categories. The only choice you need to make is do you want wm 6.1 or 6.5 and do you want manila 2.1 or 2.5. These are only choices that you can make and once you have successfully installed hspl or uspl you can try a few to see which you prefer. Read this thread VERY carefully and then read it again. If you then have any more specific questions post them there and you will get better help.
What did you do previously to brick your phone, as using hspl or uspl or even flashing the wrong rom for that matter shouldn't brick the phone?
thnx for your replay
it works now..i'ff read twice the forum.I have uspl(so no permanent spl)and flashed mikenficent rom. It works great.
on my other phone i did hspl and that worked,but at one time it did gife me a lot off trouble (starting up and wrong colors) then i send it back to htc,and it had no waranty anymore..so i didn't let it repair.Afther i get it back..it did not start att all,so i think htc did something to brick it even more.
now i wrote about the USPL and tryed that. and now it workes smouthless...
regards stef
If you had the wrong colours before then something must have gone wrong with the hspl, because that is a typical symptom of the wrong spl for the rom you were using.
But anyway at least you have gotten a new phone. Look after it now
lol..i will NEVER use hspl again..because the software is never 100% sure.
and with uspl it works like charme...
my new touch hd is the one i stole from my wife..lol and i give her a nice MDA compaq V
so she is happy and i'm happy..lol
only thin i hope is there will be one time an android rom(not the one booting with haret(ok that works but is to slow...
regards stef
The first time I flashed mine I did HSPL with Laurentius L26 from the computer (not the storage card), and then Dutty R14, and then Xannytech, and it's always worked perfectly.

Yes. Your HSPL is still "on the phone".
Have fun.
If you did the offical 2.13 rom it wiped off HSPL and move the phone to 2.10 SPL which means you can not put any custom roms on it till they updated the HSPL version

Really? I wasn't aware of that. I just flashed the new Elegancia 8.0 ROM and then installed the 2.13 radio after that.
So I presume a new HSPL is on the way?
And just out of curiosity, what happens if I reflash my old HSPL or anoter ROM?
Thanks
Thanks guys,man i feel like an dumbass right now.Should have know better i was just hoping for better messaging with this update and not locking me out.I'll keep my eyes out thanks again guys for the wisdom.Ping33tx
@red your still running HSPL 2.08 you can install the radios on it. He said he install the offical 2.13 rom which upgrades the SPL to 2.10 and disables the ablitiy to use the 2.08 HSPL.
like I am running radio 2.09 but I can move to 2.10 or 2.13 radio if I wanted to but as soon as i upgrade the SPL i am done until they recrack it again
@Ping i wouldn't worry about it these guys are very quick on here so unless there are major issues i would expect to see an HSPL based on 2.10 in a few days

I will be returning my defective hd2 to tmobile, what is the stock radio for spl 2.10? also how can i go about uninstalling hspl3 so that i dont get a $100 software change charge.
I would use the latest mobile update you can just say you upgraded to their newest Rom. I've never has to go back to stock so I can't tell you exactly how to do it.

+1 and here's the link where you can get the latest mobile update http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
Flash whichever of the official T-Mobile ROM's you want (the one at that link is fine), then just re-run HSPL3 and pick "2.08.0000", and that will return SPL to stock.

just for completeness,
if you reverse this process (run hspl choose 2.08.0000 and THEN flash 2.13 rom) then it will also upgrade stock spl to 2.10.0000.
its academic though, both 2.08.0000 and 2.10.0000 are stock and should be fine for warranty, though in theory if your phone has rom 2.13 and spl 2.08.0000, then that is technically proof that you have been using hspl.(it won't matter, just explaining the technicalities.).

Once having the 2.13 rom installed couldn't he just reinstall the 2.13 again and get the 2.10 SPL?

if you mean
1 - flash 2.13
2 - run hspl3 choose 2.08.0000
3 - flash 2.13 again
then yes, but it seems like an extra flash for no purpose to me, when you can
1 run hspl3 choose 2.08.0000
2 flash 2.13
I was just making the point that flashing the rom before removing hspl leaves a missmatched rom/spl (although tmo shouldnt complain about that, since it is still a stock spl), whilst simply reversing the order of the two steps also upgrades the spl to the proper spl for the 2.13 rom.

so should i flash a stock rom before removal of hspl3 or should i remove hspl3 then flash a stock rom?
lol, it doesn't matter. depends if you want it correct or just good enough to pass warranty.
(beginning to wish i hadn't bothered trying to explain now, hehe.)
see, stock rom 2.13 ships with spl 2.10.0000
if you flash the rom first you will end up with spl 2.08.0000 so yes itshould be ok for warranty, but its not "right".
if you remove hspl first you will end up with spl 2.10.0000which IS right.
((((note to self, people don't care about knowing the why's and wherefores, they want nothing more than a 1 2 3 so stop tryingto) teach!!)))

Unless.......
just joking. happy flashing.
hey everyone i was just wondering if someone can tell me. how to find out that everything is stock on my phone (rma purposes). thanks i appreciate it.
bootinto bootloader, look next to 'spl' if it ends .0000 then the spl is stock. The radio wont matter, and for the rom, , well, have you flashed a cooked rom?
If in doubt, heres what i'd do
run hspl3, choose 2.08.0000
get and flash (from usb) the stock tmous 2.13 rom
done.
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.
