[Q] Downgrading SPL 2.3 to 2.XX - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I have a HD2 that recently crashed and thought I would re-boot and have a go at installing WP7.
I have downloaded a few things and tinkered a bit without problems, but never cooked a ROM but seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.
I understand I need HSPL3 installed and to do that I need to downgrade to a previous SPL (I am on 3.03.000) and have tried both 2.7 and 2.10 from this site.
I connect the phone, unzip the file, folow the simple instructions and both the screen on the phone and PC start to do things and halt at 0%.
I have soft-reset and tried several times.
I am running ROM 3.14.405.2 unlocked to any network.
Have I missed something?
Thanks in advance.
PS - I did search the forum for an answer but didnt find one. Sorry if I missed it.

Assuming you have a Tmobile USA HD2:
Download and flash the 2.10.0 rom from this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653 you will get 2.08 SPL which you can flash to HSPL.
But remember to flash a later version radio so as to be able to run android.

Flashing from 2.10.0 to 2.10.1 Help

Hello all
Looking for help for flashing from the stock spl 2.10.0 to 2.10.1 for some reason i cant get it to flash properly not even from SD card. it just stays stuck at loading... screen or it goes to the HTC bootloader screen but gets stuck at 0%. Any tips.
But if im understanding it correctly the 2.10.1 cant go on the stock spl?
Thanks for all help in advanced.
anybody have any idea when a new rom is going to be released from T-Mobile?
when you download a rom, if it comes as a .exe, your phone will see it as official, and it should load on your spl. (Assuming its a match, of course) if it comes as two files, ruu_signed.nbh and customruu.exe, then your phone sees it as a cooked rom, and you need hspl installed to load them. (you can of course then unload hspl again afterwards, by running the hspl prog again, and all should be well.)
(At least that is how it appears to me, there are several 'official' tmous roms ive seen, and some are one type, some are the other. I dont have a tmous, lol, so i cant test it propperly, but its how it seems, the exe roms will load into my kitchen, the customruu ones wont. )
just a late night theory.
well this rom is coming as a customRUU and a ruu signed.nbh.
So assuming the phone recognizes it as that way. does anybody have a 2.10.1 link for an official EXE rom not a cooked rom
try search this one.can't promise anything but it came as an exe.
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship.exe
I have that version installed im looking for 2.10.1 not the 2.10.0

WHY?
My God, I don't understand why so many people, like yourself are in "dire" need of such an insignificant "update" if you could even call it that... which you can't... because it DOES NOT add anything completely outrageous or amazing that would make going through all that trouble even worth it.
This is like the 15th thread that has been started stating literally, the exact same things.
Unbelievable.
Well sorry, just im the type of person that likes to be current in software even if it does nothing.
in that case you'll be keen to flash hspl1024 as soon as you can, so that you have the latest spl protection system currently available, with the added benefit that the x.x.1 rom update will install happily. then, if you don't want hspl there permanently, remove it again. just run the hspl prog again and choose 2.08.0000.

Did you trying downloading the ROM in the development section?
On a side note, I currently have ROM version 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE installed. That is the same as the 2.10.1 stock ROM right? If I do flash a cooked ROM, I would like to be able to get back to this stock ROM as well.

Is it possible to change spl without messing up the currently installed ROM? In theory, that sounds like a solution though.
sure.installing and removing hspl has no effect on the current rom. no hard reset or anything.

MY HD2 IS STUCK ON SPL 2.08.000 It was 2.10.00 WHEN I BOUGHT IT

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?

No HSPL

Since my HTC HD2 from Tmobile the SPL is 2.1
Is it possible to use a cooked rom without HSPL? Or is there another HSPL 2.1 hack.
Also, I searched the forum on downgrading it, which involves microsd. I'm not sure how to do it, anyone care to explain it to me? Thanks ^^
As long as you have one of these SPLs currently on the device - SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.000 you can flash HSPL3.
And you should always have hspl when flashing cooked ROMs
Dude I'm pretty sure there is no spl 2.1....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's actually a 2.10.000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
So I download HSPL3 and do it? Edit: For installing HSPL3, do I have to enter the tri color screen than do it or no? And also, is HSPL3 compatible with TMOBILE?
Also, how do I find out of it's a LEO512 or LEO1024? Like how does it know the HSPL is compatible with me HTC HD2 Tmoible? I know the SPL is 2.10.000
But I read that there is 3 different kind of Leo. So I dont know if it will be compatible
Edit: Let's say I bricked it, how would I enter boot loader?
Bump. need help ASAP ><
To confirm the instruction
1. Run HSPL3 (Do I have to be in the tri color screen in order to install it?)
2. Run the rom I want using CUSTOMRUU (It's a Miri HD2 WM6.5.X (23133) V18) (Do I have to be in the tri color screen? Or can I just plug in the phone and run the custom RUU?
3. After I flashed it, and I want to install Android on it, do I have to do anything about radio version or no? < I am asking this because on my current build, I hear robot voices... After I install the V18 everything should be fine and I don't have to worry about the radio right? Thanks again ^^
Bump! I really need help >< I really want Android on this phone and I keep hearing robot voice when calling..
I don't use the Miri ROM but I would search his thread for all instances of "Android" and see what other users are doing. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Dude... so there's a post in this section, actually one of the first ones in the area... stickyed close to the top (4th thread actually), that talks about EVERYTHING you just asked... and it's specificly for our 1024LEO (T-Mobile HD2)
give it a glance... it also provides the links to HSPL3 and instructions on how to install it.
I ran though this the 2nd day I had my T-Mobile HD2, first phone I've EVER customized, and it's all really straight forward & easy.... just be sure to RTFM
Also, as a bit of help....
when installing a ROM, the RUU will reboot the phone into the Tri-Color to perform the flash... however, if it's the first time the phone has been plugged into the computer while at the TRI-Color... the flash process will time out before the computer finishes installing the drivers required to see the device.... so I suggest going to the TRI-Color manually and pluging the phone into the computer... let the computer install the drivers (when finished, you will see the words change from SERIAL to USB in the white area of the Tri-Color screen) then run the ROM install. The RUU can be run both from the OS and from the Tri-Color
Oh, thanks!
Last question. Currently I have a official ROM from HTC, and when I boot up android, everything works fine except that when I make call I hear a robot voice.
Will flashing to custom rom fix this problem? Or do I have to update the radio? :|

Official T-Mobile ROM? it's possible... both my Fiancee and I have the HD2, I flashed to the Energy ROM, and she used a kitchen and made a custom version of the T-Mobile ROM... when running Android mine works fine on voice, she however gets the robot...
we both flashed to the radio to Leo_Radio_2.12.50.02_2
I recall seeing something about formatting the SD card and trying again to fix the robot voice issue... but I would suggest doing some searches in the HD2 Android Development section first (found in the "other" HD2 section )... I know a lot of people were reporting that issue, so I'm sure someone has "The Fix" for it.
last bit... remember to ALWAYS check if a ROM is TMOUS supported before you flash... getting a ROM from this section is a safe bet (and i think a lot of the custom ROM cooks are starting to cook the Android loader in... I know the Energy ROMs have it) but when you start going to ROMs in the Android Development section made specifically for running Android you need to make sure.

[Q] Serious problems with Magldr and HSPL3

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.

[Q] Remove HSPL 3

Hello everyone
I know this is a question that has been asked 100 times before, but a post from mskip got me worried.
Here's my problem:
- I want to install a Gingerbread ROM on my HD2. I have understood everything about how to do that, thanks to XDA.
- My HD2 is currently running a Winmo 6.5 3.14 stock ROM from HTC's website.
- To install it, I had to install SPL3 on my phone. So on bootloader, my phone now shows SPL-3.03.HSPL (Cotulla HSPL btw, thanks Cotulla )
- And to install the Android ROM, I know I have to downgrade to SPL-anything between 1 and 2.
- I know you can do that by installing a stock ROM, but I read somewhere in a post by mskip that you CANNOT suppress HSPL3 by downgrading the ROM.
Anyway, in short, my question is:
Can I suppress HSPL3 and eventually manage to start the install of an Android ROM?
I'm not a complete noob, but not an expert either and I don't want to brick my phone or anything.
Thank you very much in advance
I don't understand what you mean by "suppress" it but basically all you need to do is to get 2.08.HSPL on your phone. How you do that is boot to 3.03 (volume down and power) and open HSPL3 on your PC. Then after it finds your phone etc. on the phone just choose 2.08.HSPL from the menu and flash that. Then after that installs you should be able to flash your radio and MAGLDR etc.

Skellyyy is completely right you need to run the HSPL again on your HD2 and select HSPL version 2.08 HSPL because MAGLDR only supports 2.08 HSPL right now. You will hsve to flash MAGLDR in order to flash a Andriod ROM.
Thank you guys for the quick answers.
But the point is that the ROM I currently have (3.14) only runs with SPL3.
So if I downgrade to HSPL2.08, isn't there a risk that my phone is not going to be able to do anything after that, let alone installing Android?
See, that is a quote from the post I'm using to install Android. It says:
"A: Install HSPL3
Prerequisites
* Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or
* ActiveSync installed on Windows XP
* You must have any SPL version from this list on your device:
o SPL 1.42.0000
o SPL 1.62.0000
o SPL 1.66.0000
o SPL 2.07.0000
o SPL 2.08.0000
o SPL 2.10.0000
(To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset)
You should have this SPL version unless you are using the latest 3.14 ROM with SPL 3.03.0000. No worry, just downgrade your Windows Mobile ROM from v3.14 to v1.66 will do. Download HTC HD2 v1.66 ROM. Then downgrade your phone from SPL 3.03.0000 to SPL 1.42.000."
So it says here, downgrade to v1.66 ROM, and then downgrade from SPL3 to SPL1.42. That is not very clear to me. Isn't that supposed to be the same thing?
If downgrading to ROM 1.66 downgrades SPL to 1.42, then why should I AFTERWARDS downgrade from SPL3 to SPL1.42? Isn't that going to be already done?
And more importantly, you guys say I should simply run HSPL and choose an appropriate version, which is yet another method than what is explained above...
Oh boy I'm confused...

No need to worry my friend I am currently running a 3.14 ROM as you can see by my sig. I also have HSPL 2.08 on my HD2 just incase I decide I want to run Andriod or flash a custom ROM. I can tell you my HD2 is working just fine.
No those prerequsites are just the showing you the SPL version that you habe to have to flash HSPL 3. You only have to have ond of those versions but it has to be a version included in the list or you can not flash HSPL 3. If you do not have one of these versiond then the flashing to 1.66 then to HSPL 3 is just MSkip telling you how to get a SPL version needed to flash HSPL 3. But this is not needed now as there is a HSPL 4 version now that allows you to flash 2.08 HSPL when you have SPL 3.08.0000 or SPL 3.10.0000 with out having to downgrade your ROM.
So that basically means I should get HSPL4, run it and choose HSPL2.08 for example, and then I will be able to follow all steps to install and Android ROM?
Correct?

You have a tmous,,, you can't run 3.14 roms on a reg hd2 with any spl except 3.03.0000 or 3.03.Hspl.you get very unstable phone that thinks it has the 576meg ram unlocked but only really has 200 or so,with only 50 or so free for user apps. Unuseable.
OP correct, into bootloader, Hspl 4, 2.08.Hspl then back into bootloader and flash magldr from there.

Samsamuel I do understand what you are telling me here and I was a little concerned about this when I first flashed the HSPL 2.08 to my HD2. But to be honest I have noticed no real change in my HD2's performance compared to before. Also to be fair though I only have 5 nonpreinstalled apps on my HD2 as I found early on with my HD2 that a lot of apps can effect the performance of the HD2. I also never have more than two apps running at the same time as a rule too.
At the OP yes download and run HSPL 4 and choice 2.08 HSPL and you will be good.

because you have a tmous,,,,,, tmous 3.14 rom comes with spl 2.10.0000 and works with 2.08.xxxx, (or it may come with spl 3.03.0000, im not sure, but it doesnt require it, and your phone is proof of that) however the regular 3.14 roms come with and will not work without 3.03.xxxx.
Oh I get what you are saying now the TMOUS can do this but the EU can not. I was not aware of this. Sorry it took a minute for me to understand, I have been sick for like two weeks so my head is a kittle foggy because of it lol.
heh, it doesnt get mentioned often in relation to tmous.
tmous users never get the unstable system/bad ram error when they flash 3.14, regardless of the spl, so they never need to notice what the spl is before / after, so dont notice it didnt get updated.
Im sick too, its the time of year for it. Not that anyone would notice teh difference, i am still sat hunched over the keyboard, swearing under my breath occasionally at anyone who gets close,,,,,
Sam, it wouldn't really matter though would it? As he plans on flashing MAGLDR straight away so there wouldn't even be WinMo on the phone to make it unstable?

Oh no course not, all that stuff is fine.
Thank you very much guys, this is all very clear for me now.
I now know that HSPL4 -> 2.08 -> then droid flash is doable for me
Good night/day to you all.
