Hi, i used to flash WM ROMs ages ago but have forgotten the whole precedure.
I've searched the forums but cannot understand one thing re SPLs.
I'm hoping to get a Magic A6161 this week. Do I heed to flash a specific SPL before I can start flashing ROMs or is the SPL cooked into the ROM I'm flashing?
Sorry to be a dumb ass, but I can't find the answer ton this anywhere?
Thanks,
Mark
The ROM's require you to have a specific SPL *before* you flash the ROM. So if it says "NR", which means New Radio, then you would need 1.76.2010 and radio 6.35.xx.xx, as well as "OR" which is Old Radio, 1.33.2010 with radio 3.22.xx.xx. I hope that helps you some what...
Thanks for your reply. Is the SPL built into the ROM or does it need to be loaded before hand?
If before how would I know which SPL I'd need if I have a Magic A6161?
Thanks again

If I'm not mistaken the A6161 is NOT an HTC device thus the SPL will not likely work.

Heh! Good catch Binary. Never thought of it being a knock-off, I figured it was just a marketing model number change.
You're probably SOL mwatson, unless it has HTC hardware as the underlying equipment.
The Rogers magic is also called an A6161

Is this correct? If so I should be ok shouldn't I? I put the serial number into HTC's support area and it allowed me to download the latest ROM.
Any thoughts?

Boot up into bootloader and give us the current SPL so we can know for sure.

Hello, fellow XDA people!
I have a 32B Magic, MyTouch 3G with "Radio-2.22.19.261" och SPL "HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP30000)". I have RA-dream-v1.4.0 as Recovery Image.
Of course I wanted the latest things in the business, i.e radio and SPL.
I am running a Hero ROM at the moment and are thinking about flashing my phone with Eugenes latest android 2.1 Hero ROM.
My question is: which radio and SPL should I flash? I don't want to pick the wrong one and brick my phone, so I am asking you guys.
You dont need to flash either, the radio and spl you have on your phone are
fine, the only time you need to flash you readio is if you want fully functional
bluetooth when using a hero image.
Upgrading either will not give you a performance increase, it is not like the
windows mobile scene where there are loads of different radios and some
work better than others.
I think that the radio you have is the only one available for 32B devices at
the moment, i wouldnt recomend flashing a radio or spl from a 32A device
to your phone as you could brick your device.

Thank you for an excellent answer, really appricate it!
One ROM that looks abit interesting says you need "Haykuro Death SPL" flashed to your device - is it only for Dream, or do I have to flash it to my 32B Magic?
It is only for Dream/G1

Hello all,
I recently purchased HD2, the first thing I did was going to HTC website and downloaded the latest ROM Version: 1.66.415.3, now my SPL version is 1.66000 XE. I searched the forum before posting this thread, but I did not find a clear post that answers my questions, and I am still a newbie in modding field, so please bare with me.
This ROM includes Arabic language support which I need, but its quite bugged, in away that most of the menus are in Arabic now, and even though I chose from the settings to have them in English, even disabling multi-language support wouldn't change the menus to English and they still are in Arabic.
More over some bugs, like the Arabic supported Keyboard will always play a very high click sounds, even if I reduce the volume, put it on Silent or Vibration, everything will be silent except for the Arabic Keyboard would still play the clicks.
So i thought there must be a fix for it, and the best possible way to do it in my opinion is Via installing HSPL, now the problem is I can no where find how I am able to Roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL, since i have SPL 1.66, So my question is, Does anyone know how and where can I roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL ?
My second question, Is there any Custom Rom that have full Arabic support meaning I can type and read Arabic Websites/Messeging/Email/MMS and such ? I saw Seatone's ROM that indicates Arabic Support, but I cant find anywhere to what extent it is ?
My third question is after rolling back to SPL 1.42 from SPL 1.66 and installing HSPL (assuming that this process is possible), Can I update to Newer SPL and still have HSPL installed ? or I would have to remove the HSPL in order to update my SPL ?
My last question is regarding RADIOS, can I install multiple RADIOS or I can only have one installed at a time ? Also for Backing up my ROM on my device (assuming I dont have the software on the PC), how do I do it ?
Eventually thanks for your time and consideration to help me in this matter, looking forward to hear some answers !!
All the official roms can be download here.
http://rapidshare.com/users/258XUJ
once download, I think you can just follow the procedures for removing HSPL to put it back to a standard factory state.
Thanks for the reply, but i think you got me wrong.
I dont have HSPL on my device currently, I have Factory SPL version 1.66, I want to install HSPL, but in order to do so I need SPL 1.42, the link you provided only includes SPL 1.43 ... and from what I read I HAVE to HAVE SPL 1.42 in order to install HSPL, please correct me if I am wrong ?

Help
Good Night.
I have a HTC HD2 with the 1.66.0000 XE SPL, and with the following ROM "RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship"
Because i update the ROM from the HTC Website, and it gave me that ROM, after i update it i notice that it is in NLD (Nederland), now i want to install other ROM and i Can't.
I want to do HSPL but to do that i need the SPL-1.42.000, to have that SPL i have tried to install other ROMS, but it had failed all the times with the following Error ("ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID ").
Need some help with this, because e don't understand NLD (LOL), and i want to install a PTG ROM.
.
Can anyone give me a hand? I have Telstra HD2 using on ATT in the U.S. and flashed to this ROM
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When I check the bootloader it says
SPL-1.42.HSPL
However when I try to HSPL it says.
You must have SPL 1.42.0000 and errors out. I read that if I flash any shipped OEM ROM it'll put it back to 1.42.0000 but it doesn't appear to be doing that.
Any help would be appreciated I'm trying to get any HSPL on this thing. I've also tried HSPL2 to no avail. It said bad ID or something.
Thank you in advance.

There are NO 1.43 roms that will work on your tmous, you WILL permanently destroy it if you do manage to flash one. The tmous will ONLY take roms version 2.x or higher
you are very lucky that you dont have hspl installed, else it would let you flash, and your phone would be dead.
So what do we do if we have tmous and want to install HSPL?

use hspl3.
i received a T-Mobile US Branded HD2 for free at a training event in NYC Monday. i jacked the phone up immediately when i got home in a attempt to flash the hspl for custom rom flashing. of course the hspl flash failed because of the new spl version so i then attempted to downgrade it with a older shipped rom using bepe's SSPL following his instructions correctly. as soon as the status bar appears on my pc, my hd2 prompts me asking to allow the application to go into bootloader. after touching yes, the hd2 screen turns black and stays black with the sspl ruu displaying a connectivity error.
ahhhhhhhhh! somebody help.
im guessing my spl is too new to downgrade?
In a word, yes (I think, might be wrong)...
Have you not read of the people flashing to the T-Mobile 2.x ROMs who can't downgrade their SPL if not using HSPL?
Don't know whether MTTY with an SD card flash would work but I wouldn't risk it
as I understand the s pl 2 issue, it seems theres no way to down grade it currently. I believe you can flash cooked roms with sspl.
do you have spl 2? boot to boot loader and check, cos it might be 1.6 and you can fix that one by flashing a lower stock rom that matches the vendor.(or gold carding, but gold card won't work on 2)
oh, regarding the connectivity error, try flash from a usb port directly on the motherboard (round the back)I get connectivity errors with hspl using ports in the front of the pc case.

sspl should work.
connect the leo normally with active sync, ie a booted running rom.
out should change to the sspl tricolor screen.
leave it too time out. pull the usb cable.plug it back in again, without doing anything to the leo..
it should change to usb. rerun sspl.
I'd similar situation, you've to install official ROM with lower version of SPL like version 1.48 then you can apply Hard SPL and it'll work.
To do it i used GoldCard method (installation using the SD card method).
My configuration:
HD2, TMOUS 2.10
What's the version of your ROM and if it's possible to post a screen capture of the "Software Information" page?
Good Luck
DON'T USE SSPL and HSPL on new 576/1024 GB devices.
There are (in 1.42) no support for 1024 chips.
New SSPL and HSPL (based on 2.08) will work. In development.

yea, I love the phone but it def needs a custom rom lol. The US tmobile version also did not come with the tether app that htc said it would come with. But I was able to download it, but the bad part is when you tether the hd2 cant surf the web :*(
I am so glad I came across this thread. Give me the exact answers I was looking for.
I love custom rom's so i cant wait to flash one to this thing. Btw I love the phone. Everything is awesome!

Hi,
I've done the upgrade of my Magic to SPL 1.76.2007 and Radio 6.35.10 trough a goldcard and the RUU from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625108
Currently, i'm facing a curious issue. I've tried various rom version to migrate into version 1.6 or 2.1
like this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125
or this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640105
None of them work. The phone reboot and i'm stuck at the hTC boot screen and nothing else. My phone is not bricked because if i install a version 1.5, it works perfrectly.
Any idea's ?

!!! IT HAS PERFECTED SPL

SPL: 1.76.0008
Radio: 6.35.08.29
... as mentioned in my post, i've done the downgrade to SPL 1.76.2007
where this SPL version is not perfected. This explains also why i can fastboot.... but can't flash any rom above 1.5. So i do not understand what i do wrong.
Is these something special to execute ?
Thanks
yes, you've writed that you've done downgarde then done RUU which have PerfectSPL.
And as for now there is no back from PerfectSPL 1.76 - if you done it then that's it. Finito. No love.
Wait either for official 2.x ROM or for some hack to 1.76Perfect.
hi,
Sorry if i've been misleading.
I've done an upgrade using the RUU then i've done a downgrade as explained in the thread.
In fastboot mode, my phone does give a radio 6.35.... and SPL 1.76.2007.
Are you suggesting that even if the phone reports 1.76.2007, i'm blocked and can't do any upgrade ??
Thanks
Cedric
Are you doing a full wipe including dalvik and all that stuff before going up again? I've had no problem switching ROM's on 1.76.2007.
Hi,
Yes, i've done a wipe data, wipe dalvik-cache.
How do i make sure that it has been done correctly ?
WHen i flash, how do i make sure that the zip file has been flashed correctly ?
Thanks
that radio and spl has very few stable roms available, u hav to make sure that the rom u are flashing is compatible with that radio and spl, else the rom wont start and the phone will reboot.......

Hi,
I've used this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642125 which is tailored for this radio/spl
Well sorry for the stupid question but since you wiped and everything should be fine with that radio/spl and rom.
Do you have patience enough to let the rom get going, these newer cooked roms can take quite a while before they start the first time.
Another question: What recovery do you use?
If you were able to downgrade the perfected SPL, post your method here:

As stated in the title, I'm about to flash back to the old version because the new T9193 telstra doesn't want me to install the HSPL. Anyone who's got the official ROM with 1.42 SPL for me, that's appreciated.
The only ROM I can get from the HTC website is the ROM with 1.66 SPL.
I'm not certain, but I believe this one has spl 1.42.0000

If not then just go back to your current rom.
that is the right one, telstra 1.49 has spl 1.42
by flash your ROM in this case, is the unlock neccessary? If I understand right, is the unlocking means I can get rid of the CID check to install any wrong CID or unsigned ROM. But if I want to install a CID matched ROM on my device, I don't need to isntall HSPL.
correct, you don't require hspl, because it is a telstra rom on a telstra phone.
Thanks for that! I'm gonna give it a go tonight, and let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.
Successful!!!
I hope people who has Telstra HTC HD2 can find something useful for them.
Greatly thanks to ClydeB1 and samsamuel!!!
I flashed a cooked ROM in and it worked. I restarted as one the applications asked.
Then the device freezed at the start up screen with the green HTC logo.
I have to hard reset the device and re-flash it.
Do you know what's wrong with it?

usually means you didnt flash a matching radio. Read your cooked rom thread, see what radios it recommends and compare to what you have.
