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.

Hey guys, so I'm attempting to flash a custom ROM for the first time on my hd2, let alone any phone. I've read through all of the guidelines, and have already installed HSPL on my phone. I'm planning on installing the newest available energy ROM, however, I notice that it's recommended that TMOUS users flash the radio rom to 2.07.50, though it's not necessary. First off, for those of you who have flashed it to 2.07.50, are there advantages? On my stock phone, the radio rom is showing as 2.10.531.1, which I'm not seeing anywhere else in this forum. If for some reason, I do want to revert my phone back to the essential stock form, including the radio ROM, would I be able to do that? If so, I guess I'd have to find the stock 2.10.531.1 radio rom too right? I'm also assuming that there is the TMOUS stock ROM available on this forum if I want to revert everything back to flash, correct? Sorry for all the questions, but as a first time flasher, I'm trying to be cautious!
Thanks!
2.10.531.1 is you os version (rom) not your radio
You're right, that was referring to the ROM itself, not the radio rom. In any case, do any of you still recommend flashing my radio rom from what it is now (2.08.50.08_2) to 2.07.50? And lastly, where would I find the stock ROM and stock radio ROM on this forum in case I wanted to revert my phone back to stock form? I'm guessing that once I have those stock ROMs, flashing from the energy ROM to the stock ROM would be the same exact process?
Hey all, I think I actually have it figured out now. Let me know if this sounds right to you. To go from a custom ROM to the original stock ROM (2.10.531.1) I would first download the "2.10.1 *no stock SPL" ROM from the stickied http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653. I am assuming that 2.10.1 is short for 2.10.531.1. After downloading 2.10.1 I would use customRUU.exe to flash back to the stock rom. To change my radio back to the stock 2.08.50.08_2, I would simply do the same by downloading the file, and again use customRUU.exe to go back to radio 2.08.50.08_2. Lastly, to get back to the original SPL, I would run HSPL2 and choose option SPL 2.08.0000 to revert back. After all of this, my phone would be back to bone stock, correct? I am just making sure that I've got it down before tampering with my beauty! Thanks guys.
P.S. - Anybody have an answer to my original post's question about downgrading my current radio to Energy's preferred 2.07.50? Is it worth it?

there is a thread is the beginning of the HD2 forum for radios...
Yeah, I saw the thread for radio roms too, but I am wanting to know specifically if people have any input on whether or not it's really worth it to change my stock radio rom to use with the energy ROM?

No need to change your radio. Keep the one you have. Flashing radios is by far more dangerous than flashing ROMs. Just make sure when you are flashing ROMs that it is compatible with the TMobile USA and you will be fine.
Thread closed. PM me if you need further assistance.
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.
I am currently running my HD2 with the Energy ROM (May 22) and was wanting to get it back to its original state. If I install the update released by T-Mobile (T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1.exe) will that get me there? Thank you for any help.

Yes it will.
however if you have hspl installed still, you should remove taht first.
Run hspl1024, choose 2.08.0000 (currently your spl is 2.08.hspl )
If you dont remove hspl first, it will not be removed when you flash 2.13 over usb, but setting spl to stock 2.08.0000 means it WILL be upgraded by the 2.13 rom.
Just curious why you would go back stock ....??
Try the newest energy rom June 11th, very nice ...
Just curious not trying to be nosey ..... ...
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!!)))

I'm not sure that HSPL3 works with 3.14, so when I wanted to flash AthineOS v14. I went back to T-Mobile's site and grabbed the official ROM there. I was able to "downgrade" with no issues.
We always recommend a Task 29 when flashing a ROM, whether it's "official" or "cooked". Think of it as reformatting your hard drive before installing a new operating system. Spare bits can be left over after a new ROM is installed over an older one. These will manifest in strange fashions, causing issues that can't be duplicated by a twin phone running the same system.
So yes, you can downgrade if you want, without HSPL or Task 29. Whether you want to or not is up to you.
Yes you can indeed go straight back to 2.13 from 3.14. The leaked 3.14 does not overwrite HardSPL, so you can just straight up flash back to the official 2.13 update like normal.

Just for clarification: Any stock (official or leaked) ROM will overwrite your HSPL if you flash it via microSD. It will not do so if you flash via USB.
I would like to apologize for my first reply to this thread for implying that the HSPL would be overwritten for ANY type of flash and thanks to ashasaur for pointing out my mistake.
I have TMOUS HD2 - stock 2.13 ROM and have not hard-SPLed it yet. So everything is stock.
If I install the 3.14 ROM, would I still be hardSPL it in future if required?

....good question. I've never flashed flashed a rom via SDcard. You should try flashing from 3.14 to 3.13 and see if it removes hardspl. The worse that could happen is it go back to stock spl and just remove it via the hspl3 package.

If you flash from 3.13 to 3.14 or from 3.14 to 3.13 the hardspl will still be kept if flashed is done with a USB cord. I'm not sure if hspl will still be installed if done via sdcard, because I've done any flashing via SDcard. I play it safe and do everything from the USB cord and have had ZERO problem.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
im using the 3.14 right now and the battery life is outstanding. 24 hours an d no issues yet, full 3G in fort worth all day.
Also everytime i have done any flashing, it was done through RUU and not one single issue yet. "crosses fingers"
