What to do?
First off, why do you want to do this?

You have to flash an older rom like 1.66 first. Then you can install hspl 2.08. Then remeber to update radio before flashing magldr.

You sure you ain't messing up on the details? I think that older rom installs spl 2.08, after which he has to flash hspl3. Just to make sure OP ain't gonna be searching his ass off on hspl 2.08 if it doesn't exist Could be wrong though, never been so keen on all the spl stuff!
I think it's important we know why he wants to do this. He may be wasting his time and invalidating his warranty for no reason. I've seen no end of people on here asking about flashing HSPL on their device when it turns out they only want to run Android from the SD, and they've already got a 2.15 radio!
Wait and see what he says.
How does flashing HSPL void your warranty? You can always flash back to stock, and when things get messed up during the flashing process, having HSPL installed should be a lifesaver?

Flashing back to stock removes traces of the fact that you did it in the first place. It does void your warranty though. If your phone were physically damaged and being repaired or replaced under warranty, if (unlikely as it is) they got it working and saw HSPL on there, they'd sent it back to you and tell you you've voided the warranty.
Besides, there's no reason he should flash HSPL unless it's relevant. What if he accidentally pulls the USB cable out while flashing? If he didn't need HSPL in the first place that would be a pretty big shame!

True, but if they want a NAND version on their device, I assume this is necessary?
You have a point though, but next to that, as soon as you read XDA, you're going to void that warranty anyway ;-)

Yes, you're right. Just because i was asking the same question when i needed to install magldr when i had a 3.14 rom doesn't mean he needs the same.

Hi, I want to install LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM
I started reading the thread [TUT] Flashing your First GSM 512LEO Rom (For Noobs) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Obviously I got stuck on the "2. FLASH HARDSPL (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)"
I am a noob so I might have misunderstood something but I intend to follow these steps:
1. Flash HardSPL (HSPL3_PKG.zip)
2. Install MAGLDR 1.11 (DFT_LEO_MAGLDR111.rar)
3. Install Android NAND package (DFT_LEO_NAND_Android.rar)
Thanks for your help....

Well I got my new Leo 13 days ago and I've tried to make the stock ROM work to my satisfaction but between the T-Mo junk installed and terrible battery life I decided it was time to try a cooked ROM...
So I read and read and read some more...It's not my first run at this but I wanted to understand everything so I didn't end up with a $449 paperweight.
This morning I download and installed the HSPL-1024....No problems, went just as the instructions said....
I then download a 1024 T-Mo tested/approved Energy Rom and I install it on my LEO.... No problem everything went as it should. I played with the rom and wanted to try another one with a different look so I found another 1024 LEO Rom, the RoMEoS4 or something like that.... Anyway, that install went just fine...
After installing both cooked ROMS I noticed I was having freezing/locking up issues and had to keep soft reseting so after several hours of it locking up I decided to just revert back to the stock T-Mo USA rom.
I then went on here and found the exact shipped rom I had originally (I had documented the versions I had prior to HSPL and the cooked rom's)
http://beta.vbnfiles.com/index.php?...08.50.08_2_Ship.zip&directory=xmoo/Leo/TMOUS&
Instructions on here clearly explained how to revert back (for warranty purposes) so I downloaded the exact stock rom, extracted it to my desktop and renamed the nbh file leoimg.nbh.... I then copied it to a formatted 8gb SDcard and inserted it into the phone.
Instructions said to hold the Volume down botton and the Power button until it boots into the bootloader and then begins to install off the card. I did this exactly and shortly after it began loading off the card it went back to the bootloader and said "Upgrade Rom Code Error, Please try again" it then goes to a gray screen that says "Loading" and stays there...stuck.
Here's a video of what it does when I try to load off the sdcard.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCD_-EuI1_Q
I have no idea what happened or what to do to get it out of this...
Thanks for your time!

Put it into bootloader mode, hook it up to your computer with USB, and run to stock image like you did with the cooked roms. That should flash it back to stock. Then, if you want to take the hspl off, you can just run the hspl program again and change it back to your lod spl. No need to use SD card.
Every time a thread like this pops up, I can't help but wish that the "flash from SD card" method and every reference to it could be eradicated from the collective consciousness of this forum and all unwitting participants who fall into this trap... at least long enough to establish that:
1) it isn't a necessary or preferred method to flash.
2) it has the potential to cause stuff like this to happen.

I got those instructions from a very popular chef on here so I was under the assumption that was the only way to revert back from HSPL
I've learned a valuable lesson here.....Leave it the hell alone!!!!
I'm sweating bullets right now....

If you can get to the boot loader, then you should be able to fix this pretty easily.
I'd do this:
Get to the boot loader, check the SPL version. Do you have HSPL 2.08?
IF no, install it using HSPL2_1024_RUN, (if you want a custom ROM option), or install the standard SPL if you want to have an "unhacked" HD2, and flash the stock ROM. Done.
IF HSPL 2.08 is installed and you want it like that to install custom ROMs, then I'd do the following, just for good measure:
run MTTY/task29 to clean out all the old stuff (see my sig line)
flash the TMOUS 2.08 Radio
flash a custom TMOUS compatible ROM

No, the new version of HSPL (HSPL2_1024_RUN) has an option to re-install the standard SPL. If I wanted to do that, i'd definitely use HSPL2_1024_RUN to do it.

Ok thank you....
The SPL reverted back to the original 2.08 SPL when it began the install the stock rom (before it gave me the error) So it does not have the HSPL in it anymore.
I've tried all kinds of different things to fix it but I get an error or no response with everything.
I did try to reinstall the HSPL but when I try I get the below error from the HSPL2 proggie.
Critical Error
Flow 00000003
Error Code 00000004

so reinstalling HSPL wont reinstall.....
I believe this is why I've not been able to fix it myself.... I'm usually pretty good with these installs. My Kaiser saw hundreds of new roms if not more and I never ran into this.
Thanks

Make sure you have the sd card out of the phone. So you get into bootloader mode, and you run the rom update from the computer? Maybe try downloading the stock rom again to make sure it's not corrupted. You should be able to flash it from your computer.
Before flashing any rom I would do task29 and completely wipe the internal memory, so you don't have any issues with left over files from the last rom. That is most likely why you started having problems in the first place. I used to think oh I can just flash a rom and it will work like new, but nope I had more problems I could deal with and almost returned the damn thing. Once you know what you are doing WM is a great OS to have and the only other phone I thought even cam eclose toa WM phone was the iPhone anyG, if i'm allowed to say that here. So, task29 first then enter bootloader and the run your customruu with any rom compatible with the TMOUS HD2 1024. Any questions just holla.

I got the second one elsewhere on XDA but I can't recall where.
If you can get your phone into bootloader then just do task29. Here is the Mega link.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J3OELQ8I
Once task29 is done, pull your battery out and replace after 10-15 secs. Then enter bootloader again and try the stock or custom rom you want. I have been at the 0% screen before even 70% and 99% and stuck. Mine is the HTC HD2 TMOUS branded and I am currently using the AxLor Leo V9 rom and she works like a dream. Let me know if you need help.

ahh ok, that IS the stock rom, but its a repack of the 2.1 rom, not an official .exe/nbh pack. (Well, my kitchen wont import it, says its not official, and it comes with customruu)
However, look for
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship
which is the packed ship .exe. (and does open as official in the kitchen)
ill submit this, and see if i can find the link.
EDIT - heres a mirror of

I am glad you pointed out this error on my part. I honestly did not know that HSPL2 and HSPL1024 were 2 different programs....
I was merely referring to HSPL1024 as the second version of HSPL....or HSPL2..... I didn't mean to create confusion... sorry about that...
To confirm I am using HSPL-1024

so I'm kinda confused...you say that that you shouldn't flash from the sd card. and im sure you know more about this technically speaking than I do but what confuses me is I've been told and read MANY times by people probably more experience than both of us that flashing from your sd card IS the safest way to flash...im not saying your wrong but it concerns me because that is the method I use mainly for convience.but if this has the potential to destroy my very expensive device that I can't afford to replace I would REALLY like to know and know why. if anybody can guide me here why two different stories and maybe some reasons why one method had a higher chance for problems I would really appreciate it =)
I read on another thread how to uninstall HPSL from your HD2 is the process for the non t-mobile branded phone the same as the one for T-mobile. The reason I ask this is my phone has some really bad dead pixels and I still am within my return period and I'm going to swap the phone out. I don't want dumb customer service thinking flashing caused the dead pixels. Wish there was a way to fix the pixels i've did some searches nothing really worked. Thanks point me in the direction how to remove HPSL.
reflash stock rom
flash any of the tmous stock roms over usb, then run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000
Ok recently I flashed the version 2.10.1 *No Stock SPL!!! to get my phone back working like it was from t-mobile so I need a different stock rom with an SPL correct you stated. Flash a stock rom then run hspl1024 and choose 2.08.0000 what is 2.08.0000 the radio or rom, because I don't see that version on the thread with the stock roms. I just need a little more clarity before doing it thanks.

basically you no longer need to find a stock rom with a stock spl, , , hspl1024 now includes the stock spl as well as the hspl. when you run hspl1024, there's a dropdown list. If you pick one that ends 0000 then it will flash a stock spl to your phone. If it ends hspl, then it flashes hspl to your phone. easy.

sam - thanks for you info and help, lots of people are asking and you have been very clear in how to flash custom roms after flashing the 2.13 rom. Do you know of work being done on the latest htc spl to Hspl? - so that flashing an old rom will again not be needed?
side question - does the spl have anything to do with performance or battery life? I'm on my 3rd day of this battery charge, I rarely have made it to the 2nd day before.
Can I boot/intall Android with HSPL?
im guessing yes cause i had to HSPL my phone to run energy rom, and now im running froyo
What you mean is Android on the NAND? No, not yet.
What you can do, is to flash a custom ROM (without Android).
The Android has to be on the SDCARD!
Sorry my question was can I boot/intall Android without HSPL?
I have seen mixed opinions on installing without HSPL. The problem usually comes in when you go to make calls. People can get Android running on a completely stock HD2, but you usually need a different radio for clear audio in calls, ie no robo-voice. If you don't want to change from the stock Rom, I would still suggest running hspl and flashing a new radio. it will help to keep you from getting too angry.
Good luck.

I like the stock ROM for the most part. In the most of custom ROMs, the start menu is the bottom which I dont like. And I have to unlock which will void warranty. I have bricked my HD2 once! So not comfortable installing HSPL and Custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs come in WinMo 6.5 versions (which is what you're looking for; for example the Core Cell Evo, which is a very nice ROM and supposedly compatible to Android [I guess in terms of robot voice, haven't tried it, yet] since V3; or Elegancia ROM Series, which I use myself and can therefore confirm that it solves the robot voice problem) and of course in 6.5.5 versions (which have the start button at the bottom). Therefore, a custom ROM does not necessarily mean a totally new WInMo experience.
Other than that, I see no real problem in installing HSPL on the phone. It rather prevents bricking your phone, so why not do it. And in case you have to make use of the warranty, you can always uninstall HSPL in order to "make it stock" again.
It is recommended by most devs that HSPL 2 (or 3) should be installed beforehand

Let's put it like this:
If you already have a radio of 2.08 or above and a stock ROM that does not give you the robot voice or you don't care about the robot voice, then you don't need HSPL at all (as long as you're running Android off the SD card, which you might not want anymore as soon as it's flashable to Nand, which it is not yet).
If, on the other hand, you need to flash anything in order to make it work (new Radio, custom ROM), then HSPL is either recommended (in order not to brick your phone) or absolutely necessary (because most custom ROMs won't be flashable without it).
Hope that clears it up a bit more, pls correct me if I was wrong on anything.

Yeah, well, then it's (like I wrote) most likely the stock ROM that's causing it. So either you learn t live with it or I strongly advise to install HSPL prior to flashing a custom ROM. And to prevent a question: No, at this point in time, there is no other workaround known to me. Like I said, live with it it or change it.
EDIT: Since you say you're uncomfortable about instaling HSPL and that you have bricked your phone once, I assume that you did not install HSPL when that happened? In the sense of you bricked your phone while trying to install a custom ROM without prior installation of HSPL? If that's the case, get some information on HSPL again, it's your friend, not your enemy It basically keeps you from bricking the phone. Of course, there always remains some risk, so whatever you do, you do it on your own risk. Don't come back here saying "You told me nothing could happen when I hae HSPL." That's not how it works

Just like they said in the other post, try entering the bootloader by turning off the phone, holding the "volume down" button, keep holding it, press the power on button while still holding the volume down. While in bootloader, you can flash a working ROM either from USB or from your SD card (see HSPL info for that process)... like I said, HSPL does not prevent anything from going wrong if there's an error in a ROM or whatever, it just leaves "a back door open"...
But that's kinda offtopic anyway In fact, if your aim is to get android running, I suggest one of the ROMs that are reportedly working, like Energy, Chucky, Miri (original or Elegancia), supposedly Core Cell Evo v3 etc... why cook your own when you don't wanna run WM anyway

As soon as I installed HSPL on my phone, my HD2's screen would not work. How do I uninstall HSPL without having to touch the phone? Is this possible? Also, I have searched and searched for a newbie version of how to uninstall HSPL, and I cannot find anything. PLEASE HELP!
So i have a few questions you guys could hopefully help me out with.
1. Is HSPL needed to install MAGDLR?
2. Is SPL something you install or come with the phone?
3. If you have a spl newer than what it supported how will you be able to flash a rom or run android from nand?
4. Is windows mobile device center needed to install HSPL when the phone is in bootloader or to update radio?
Thanks

1. Yes HSPL is needed to install MAGLARD (2.08)
2. Yes, SPL comes with the phone.
3. If your spl is higher than needed, download the 1.66 or 1.42 rom from htc and install it, your spl will automaticly get downgraded.
4. Yes

Yes - you need HSPL3, which (confusingly enough) allows you to install HSPL 2.08

SPL is already on your phone when you 1st get it. It's what boots the OS.

If you want to flash anything custom then you need HSPL. If you have a later version of SPL on your phone then you need to get an official ROM from the HTC site (or here, if you can find the correct version for your carrier) and install that from the SD card, using the bootloader. There's plenty of threads on here that can instruct you on how to do that. That will downgrade your SPL version to something suitable that will allow you to install HSPL 2.08 over it.

WMDC is Vista or later. It was ActiveSync before that, but they basically handle communications with your phone in the same way. You need to use whichever of them is relevant when you first flash HSPL on your phone. Other flashes (ROMs and radios can be done from the SD card, as discussed in question 3 above.)
I hope this helps mate. There's a lot to pick up but you're at least asking questions that suggest you've done some reading beforehand. That always goes down well on this forum
Just keep reading, but feel free to ask if you can't find answers anywhere.
Good luck

hi
i have a little question:can i run android from sd card without HSPL?
i mean i have spl 3.03 on my HD2 and i want runing android from my sd card whitout HSPL my device.
ROM:3.14 radio:2.15.50.14 spl:3.03
Ok, I know there have been a few threads on this. I've read all of them but still slightly confused.
I have an HD2 (der) with a custom rom, HSPL, Magldr 1.13..
Basically, what in the world do I need to do to get it back to "stock". I installed a rom from the t-mo website for this phone. It loaded windows, yadda yadda. But I know it still had HSPL on it.
Also, do I need to flash to a certain radio?
So far it has HSPL, a new radio, and Magldr 1.13.
Im sorry if this is a redundant question.. I just want to make sure I get this right! This phone was doomed even when it had Windows 6.5 on it. I rather not have them tell me I was the one who ruined it because of Android.. Even though it was acting up before it.
Thanks guys..
If you have the HDSPL yet, you have to uninstall it by running HDSPL3 and selecting *.spl or *.0000
Did I answer to the question ?

because usb flashing doesnt change the spl (hspl), only the splash, rom and radio.
Either - flash it again from the sd card, or use hspl3/4 to reset the spl manually, , if you flashed 3.14 rom, choose spl 3.03.0000, else chooe 2.08.0000

Ok, I'll download HSPL3 and flash it to spl 2.08.0000. This will look like it's stock to the technician, correct?
Also, I found this link (I apologize if I'm not suppose to post links like this, let me know and I'll remove it ASAP!)

Yes. Correct. It is stock SPL. But, if you only flash it via HSPL, it will not flash the ROM itself. Your current ROM will remain. If you want to go back to original stock rom, you need to flash it again.
Cheers
Ok, here's what I did..
I downloaded the stock rom for my phone (using my IMEI number on the tmo website). I went into HSPL mode (the tri color screen) and then ran the .exe on the computer and it flashed it.
Currently, it's still running HSPL. If I flash HSPL to SPL 2.08.0000... This will look completely stock, correct?
Thanks for your help! I get to send this in today!
Also, the radio is 2.15.50. Is that stock... ?

Yes that's right but it will be easy if you flash through sd card method it will write stock SPL ( you wouldnt do anything wrong if you install through hspl )... do do that just extract ruu you downloaded ( use 7-zip just search google its free) find ruu_signed.nbh and rename to LEOIMG.nbh copy to sd card and put in phone ... go into bootloader and follow instruction on screen.. and you are done.
But you alrady installed stock rom so to save time just put your phone into bootloader - tricolor screen connect to pc and run hspl and install stock spl

Thank you VERY much! I guess I'm just paranoid my $200 phone I got from craigslist will be deemed "rooted" and sent back to me with a nice "eff u" on the package from HTC.
The radio is now stock, everything is back to stock. SPL (no H) 2.08.0000. Yadda yadda.. It's still being a PITA.. so yes, I guess it is a hardware issue... yay for warranties!
