Hello guys,
I have an HD2 with SPL version 3.03. I've looked around on the forums for a guide on how to downgrade it, but i can't find one. Is it even possible?
Because i've installed Android on it trough SD card method, and it's draining my battery! have to recharge twice a day now. I've read that i have to replace the original WINMO ROM with a custom one like VBNROM to save battery.
Is it possible to downgrade this SPL 3.03? or do you guys have any other suggestions on how to increase battery life?
Greetings!

es, just go to HTC.com, choose support, choose your phone (HD2) then find a firmware upgrade or software upgrade.. enter your s/n found on the back of ur device..
make sure its older version..
Sorry m8 but you couldn't have searched too hard as there are plenty of references to flashing with spl 3.03.0000. You basically have 2 options, the first is to flash to an older version of your stock rom (via sd card) so that you get to an spl of 2.10.0000 or lower and then you can run HSPL3 to "crack" the spl.
Alternatively you can try the GoldCard (search xda for this) method which will allow you to flash any rom. Battery drainage can also be possibly solved by trying another radio
Okay, i will give it a try.
Can you just download firmware from HTC and install a older version over a new one? or do i have to do this through this SD card method?
@ClydeB1
Im using Radio 2.15.50.14. Guess this one is allright, since many ppl including yourself are using it.
If the rom is for your phone you can just flash it to downgrade. Just be aware that the older rom might have a different radio, so be sure to check before continuing with Android.
Yes 2.15.50 is fine (any 50 series radio from 2.08.50 or higher will work)
So I can just downgrade my ROM that easily? without using GoldCard etc.?
Which version should I download then? 3.14 is the version I am using now. It has SPL 3.03. Or can I just install 1.66.xxx.x version? Guess this one has a low SPL build.

So, the only thing I have to do is to connect my HD2 on my pc, and run the stock ROM for my country?

thanks for the reply..
phone-T-mobile htc hd2
Os version-21913
Rom version- cleanEX RV Ultra 1.01
Radio version-2.08.50.08_2
nothing will happen
Just remember to run task29 before you flash your new rom
I have my device now for about 15 mounts, and in the meal wile I have install more than 70 Rom's on it without any problems.
The most important is not how much Rom versions you will install but eater if you would do it correctly.
Why don't you put HSPL3 2.08HSPL and MAGLDR1.13 on it so you can have Android on NAND, Windows Phone 7, hah? . . . now we're talking
Like kurt-willems, my HD2 is like 15 months old, I´m a flashaholic since other devices in the past. I think I flashed roughly 50 custom ROMs (plus some stock ROM flashes before task29 was possible with stand-alone apps).
It is being said that the memory chip technology which stores the OS ROM can be at least re-written 1000 times. I don´t think I will still use the HD2 in 20 years.
Maybe, I´ll keep it as a souvenir as one of the greatest smartphones in the early 2000´s. And at least 1 ROM of each OS on an SD... just for fun, hehe...
I couldn't really remembered how many ROM flashing i've had done since my Dopod 838 Pro, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Pro2, Snap and now HD2, nothings bad happened. So the point is, it's safe as long as You do by the rule Sir. Go a head, You can do more than just that, Cheers

Bro, your avatar is the same with the signature of Bro Tictac (above your post )
I have been flashing my HD2 for 13 months and I tried almost all wwe roms available in XDA and HTC Pedia. But I think it still below 1000 times.
And when it reaches 1000 times and something happen with my HD2, I will not regret it because HD2 is the best phone ever made by HTC
Cheers....

Since you are running a custom ROM, then you alread have HSPL running. I would go into BootLoader Mode to confirm that the SPL is 2.08.HSPL
Your RADIO is fine (although there are a few updated verions 2.12.50 and the 2.15.50 are the more popular).
Once all that is done then you are able to go into the Android NAND ROM Flashing.

You have to change RADIO by your own.

howdy all, im new to the forum havent really had a chance to have much of a browse yet.
have had my hd2 for a while now and tbh im no overly impressed with it, whether or not that's just me not being able to get to grips with it im unsure of, but it always seems to be glitching, takes a while to do anything locks up quite a lot many problems.
just wondering is there anyway of making the whole thing run more smoothly?
any help would be greatly appreciated, and bare with me as im so out of touch with phones nowadays.
Well I assume you are still using the stock Windows Mobile ROM. Do this go to Settings>About Phone>Software Information and tell us what ROM and radio you have right now as I bet you are not on the most recent ROM as the older Windows Mobile ROMs were unstable.
it says im running
rom version 1.43.110.2 (70315) wwe
radio version 2.04.50.22_2

T-Macgnolia was right your HD2 is running stock from way back from launch day...
The latest radio is 2.15.50 while the latest stock rom is somewhere in the 3.0 range
If you want to stick with stock try flashing the latest T-mobile / HTC update... make sure you backup anything and everything because you never know what might happen.
Yeah you are running a much older ROM. I can also tell from that ROM version you are using a EU HD2. Go to HTC.com and looks for ROM upgrades and then enter your serial number that is behind the battery and see what the latest ROM version for your HD2. If it says you can use a 3.14 ROM download it and flash it to your HD2. They should have some instructions on the HTC site telling you how to do this. It is simple really come post back here if you have questions. Also you can flash a custom ROM from here on on XDA, you can run Android from your SD card if you want while still having Windows Mobile on your HD2, you can flash Android to your HD2 doing away with Windows Mobile (I run Android right now), and you can flash Windows Phone 7 to your HD2 of you want. But try out a better stock ROM first as it will give you some experience flashing a ROM. Take a look a my guide in my signature as it will teach you some about what I just mentioned, and AI have links to guides on how to install Android or Windows Phone 7.

Not necessarily, but maybe.
Put it in the fridge for 10 minutes, if it restarts and works fine make another call or play a video. If it does it again then you probably have a bad mainboard (hardware). Either warranty or you're SOL.
your other option is to flash a new ROM and see if that fixes it. Personally to me it sounds like bad hardware. I'd contact the person you bought the phone from.
thank you orangekid,
i made another call and there was no problem, but when i tryed to reboot the phone it stucks on the go go go screen,so i took out the battery and reinsert like 10 times and got it working !!! i think that the prolem is with the SPL/Radio version,
i noticed who sold me the phone has changed the SPL to 2.08 8G XE CotullaHSPL
and the radio to 2.15.50.14 and the os is android 2.2.1 ultimate droid
so can i fix this?

That is the correct SPL and Radio for Android, those are not the problem. It might be the Android ROM, but random restarts when phone is hot is usually hardware.
I would flash a new Android ROM.
now i will try to install wm 6.5, can i install wm with the 2.08 spl and the radio 2.15.50.40 ?
please there is a lot to know about flashing and i try to be careful because i losed my old htc while flashing a new ROM

Yes you can install wm6.5 on your current spl/radio
to get stock ROM go to HTC website hd2 updates & enter your devices serial to download the relevant ROM
HD2 is LEO, if reffering to T-mobile USA version this is easily spotted by t-mobile logo at top & coloured green call & red end keys.
Issue does sound like mainboard CPU BGA issue but a clean install on original WM6.5 is a good idea to test.
Keep it cool will flashing with a fan or by chilling it in fridge if it fails to fuction for a full flash ...

Buying HD2 used is a risky game & buying with Android already installed just increases risk of getting a dud device ...
thanks to all of you,i will see the seller
Dear Developers, I am a noob and want to install Android on my device, have done a lot of research on this topic but can't find any suitable ROM.
I am having HD2 with the following Configuration:-
ROM Version- 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE
ROM Date- 10/28/09
Radio Version- 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version- 15.26.50.07U
Manilla Version- 2.5.19202525.0
OS Version- 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Can anybody tell me how can I port Android 4.0(In SD CARD) with HTC Sense into it. Which ROM will be suited and how can i put that ROM. Or is there any method like- getting Original HD2 ROM and then after that all ROMs support the device?
Every time I search on internet I get confused and sometimes scared about DEAD HD2s. I really love my phone, the only problem is that it doesn't support .NET3.5 Framework and because of that there are very less apps available. Once I get android, my phone will shine like a diamond.
I am really not that concerned of HTC Sense what I want is Android 4.0 or 2.3 with all functions properly working.

Arun Wadhwa

If you want to install SD Android there is no chance of bricking your phone. Just download the ROM from the thread (check the SD Development section) place the 'Android' folder on the root of your SD card then run CLRCAD and HARET. As for choosing a ROM, there is no Sense 4 ROM, but aside from that there's basically anything else you could possibly want. People can't tell you the 'best' ROM because different people like different things. Try some out, and decide for yourself.
In future please search properly, everything there ^ could be found with a forum search.
But Still?
You are saying right, but how will I find the right version? I am having a TMOBILE 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE ROM.

What do you mean by 'right version'? WinMo doesn't affect SD Android, the right version is the one you like best. As long as you have a .50 radio (which you do) you're fine.
@Nigel, 2.04.50 radio doesn't count as a 50 radio, (at least as far as unlocking ram and not bricking tmouses) 2.05.50 and below (and perhaps 2.06.50, I forget without checking) are not tmous compatible.
@op, don't confuse your t mobile issued REGULAR hd2 with all the talk about the tmous, or t mobile USA hd2. You have a regular hd2. (Proven by the rom version)

I thought something was fishy with the ROM version, thanks for clearing that up. Either way, @OP just update your ROM to the latest version or flash a newer radio then do as above for Android.
I replied in your other post....you need latest rom with radio 2.15..(radio above 2.08 is compulsory for Android) ....install hspl4..and then put SD build on card and enjoy...I recommend trying the new native SD way...fastest rom just like nand install
Please go through stickies in the Android forum or search in xda not Google
Samsamuel has enough experience in this forums with guiding and preventing people from bricking their tmous hd2 with flashing. 51 radios...so if he says it's not tmous...it is not...happy flashing

Radio?
You mean if I update my ROM my radio will be automatically updated? If yes, then i only have to put an android rom in sd card and then install it? I hope there is no risk of bricking my phone. Is the latest ROM (WM) available on HTC website(INDIA) suitable for this? Please reply guys! If its really that simple, my phone will shine like a diamond. Please answer while keeping my ROM in mind! Your help will be appreciated.
If it's to be done manually(Radio), then how to do it and what are the risks?
correct, stock roms include spl and radio.
get hspl4
use it to set 3.03.hspl (NOT 3.03.0000, thats stock)
run the 3.14 rom you wanna flash over usb
radio will now be 2.15.50 and rom will be 3.14
go ahead and put sd android on sd
spl?
Okay, so let's make it clear. First, I've to download a ROM from htc India's website, then I've to install it by connecting it through USB, after that I've to download any one ROM from xda developers' website(of android). Then what? What was that 'spl' thing you were saying? How to change that spl, etc... Can you please elaborate. Your help would be appreciated.
no
1/ bootloader
2/ hspl4.exe --> 3.03.hspl (this is a hacked spl, , spl = secondary program loader, , ,it starts the phone, teh hacked one allows the wrong rom to be flashed without failing, , you do NOT currently have hspl because you chose 3.03.0000 which is the factory spl)
3/ bootloader
4/ install the indian rom over usb
done.

Why elaborate when everything's already there for you? There's a forum search tool at the top of your page, as I stated earlier - USE IT.
What?
I am currently having SPL- 1.42.0000, I've already listed my ROM and radio. So first I need to get a new rom from HTC with SPL 3.03.0000 and a better radio. Then I've to install HSPL 3.03 via HSPL4, after that I've to put Android ROM in SD CARD formatted in FAT32, then run the CTRLPD(or whatever) and haret.exe, then I am done! Aren't I right?

I read your comments and researched on many websites and found one with easy guides- Addictivetips or something like that. Now I know the whole procedure. Thanks to you and that website. One last thing, do u think their are any chances of getting hd2 bricked with the rom i mentioned, just last question. Is it safe?
No you don't have a tmous, only tmous risks brick from wrong radio.
