[Q] HTC Stock ROM 3.14, SPL 3.03 - is NAND Android possible?

Hi, aftet two days of reading the xda-forum and unsuccesful try to install NAND version on my HD2, i'm asking this simple question.
My LEO is with stock ROM 3.14, SPL 3.0.3, radio 2.15.xx.xx.
I understood that it can be installed SD Android version, but i preffer faster NAND version.
Is that possible or it will be when HSPL for this SPL is availible?
Thank you!

You need to downgrade your SPL version in order to install HSPL2.08, and to do this you must flash an earlier stock ROM.
Look in the Android WM Development forum for a stock 1.66 ROM for your handset and flash that. You can then flash HSPL2.08 and then finally Magldr and Android.
There's plenty to do, but it's straight forward enough. Just make sure to read up on what you're doing first and it'll be no problem.

Thank you
Thank you for your advice, i'll try it and i'll push hard to do this, i'm former Desire and Galaxy S user, but with my own eyes i see that the Desire is faster then Galaxy, and the HD2 with Android /Nand/ is faster and smoother than both of them.

if you want nand only for speed, then try the ram builds on sd card..(eg: superram by darkstone )they are faster than nand...this way, you dont need to flash anything...no need to downgrade, no need to hspl...........just copy the android folder to your sd and voila..

just to give you some insight, I have the same stock setup as is you, and I'm using darkstone sense v0.1 and its great, fast, stable and everything working very well.. you have to try it, don't forget to use an autoboot application to achieve a reasonable battery life..

I had 3.14 based GTX 2.5 Elegancia ROM, Radio 2.15.50.14 and everything worked just right to get NAND on my HD2.
When you say 1.66ROM I am not sure if you are referring to Radio or ROM version.
Instructions on NAND for newbs thread says:
Radio 2.15.50.14 recommendable!!!
HSPL3 package can be used to downgrade to HSPL 2.08 HSPL (do not choose 2.08.0000 - but 2.08 HSPL ...
Note: Stock HD2 should have 2.10.0000 (stock);
Anyhow, it worked perfect so I think you should be good as long as your HSPL is downgraded to 2.08 version ... FYI - when you download HSPL file is titled HSPL3_package.rar ... this means HSPL version is 3 but you want to run it and set it up on 2.08 and than flash it onto your phone.
hopefully I didn confuse you too much

you probably have tmous hd2 and hence your spl is 2.10...for non-tmous hd2 the new stock 3.14 official rom has a spl3.03, which is not compatible with hspl...that is why john has suggested to roll back to an earlier stock rom (nontmous rom versions are older and different (1.48,1.72,1.66 etc)than tmous stock roms (2.x, 2.1x etc))

ha ha ha...ok...so simple answer....no, you cannot install nand android on 3.14 rom with spl3.03, because you need magldr...(and hspl for magldr).....and hspl is not compatible with 3.03spl. and there is no idea if and when a new hspl will be available..
...so the only option for you if you want nand android, is to flash an older stock rom to downgrade your spl to less than 2.10 (1.42,1.66,2.08,2.10 etc)and only then can you install hspl without problems...and then flash a radio more than 2.08,( preferably 2.15)...then flash magldr, then flash android nand rom........got it??
it is not difficult if you have all those files ready...each flash takes 2 to 10 minutes maximum...so in total, within 30 minutes, you can have android
(you dont need any of these steps if you can use a sd/ram build )
make sure you roll back flash to the stock rom specific for your region.(.important!)

SD card android possible over 3.14 winmo ROM?

Yes you can run Android from SD if you have a 3.14 ROM. It is the radio that is important really when running Android from SD. You will want to check the thread of the build you want to use to see if it is a radio version suggested by the dev of the build. The radio right radio can keep you from having robot voices and some other stuff too. Check below fow instructions on how to install.

All you need to do is download the build of your choice and then unzip the contents of the zip file to a folder named Android. Some builds create a folder named Android and puts all file sin it when you unzip it so check and see if that is the case with the build you are going to use. Once you have the files extracted to the Android folder just copy the Android folder to the root of your SD card. Then use file explorer to navigate to the Android folder and open it. then touch on CLCAD first, this just enables the sound in Android but it will look like it did nothing, this is normal. Next touch on HARET and you will see a box pop up that says booting lenuix with a progress bar in it. Just let the build boot up from there, the first boot may take up to 5 to 10 minutes as it has to create a good bit of files for the Android. Also make sure to boot your Android build this way the first time then you can start using the a dual boot app. And make a backup of your SD card before you first boot Android so you can have a way to know what was on it before you used Android.
You do not have to have HSPL to run Android from SD card. And SPL has nothing to do with running Android from SD card.

[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?

Which HSPL do you have?
You have to have HSPL3 installed, not HSPL4, that one does not work with MAGLDR.
And please post your questions in the Q&A Forum not in the development forum.

Sorry sir, but you are wrong. HSPL4 will work untill and unless you select "2.08.HSPL" during installation, there is as such nothing called "HSPL4". The latest spl is 3.03 for use with 3.14 roms.
Just grab any HSPL binary and select "2.08.HSPL" to install and you should be fine, the recommended radio is "2.15.50.4" atleast that's what i use.

I´d try going way back to WinMo stock Rom and starting fresh with hspl2.08, task29, radio 2.15... (or 2.12 you´d have to try which one works better and uses less power), maybe a first splash screen, magldr113, cwm 4.0.1.4....

At First you need hspl 2.08 installed and than you need a radio rom which supports the 576mb ram this are the radio roms above 2.07 .The radio roms you can find in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
and than flash magldr if it stucks at the splash screen it means that you have no 576mb ram radio rom installed after you succesfull installation of magldr install the cwm there are a lot of threads where an how to is download the tool from ksubedi it is easier for newbies.

[Q] Not booting after MAGLDR flash

Hey, my sister got a HD2 off ebay, and asked me to flash it to android, so i got to the point of installing MAGLDR, and after it successfully flashes, it doesn't boot into it, it just hangs on the HTC boot logo. I used to have a HD2, but it came pre-flashed with android.
I have flashed it with HardSPL too, before you ask.

how long did you wait? sometimes it takes 10+minutes before it boots.
did you try an SD version? it also boots via Magldr.

What steps did you take?
Did you task29 before flashing magldr?
My advice get the hd2 nand toolkit and Task29 before Flashing magldr
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

Symptom - Flashed magldr folowed by hanging at splashscreen and not entering magldr menu.
Cause - nearly always caused by forgetting that magldr WILL ONLY start when spl =2.08.hspl -AND- radio is tmous compatible (meaning 2.07.50 or higher, where the .50 is not. 51,,, 2.08.50 will work 2.08.51 wont)
Go flash radio 2.15.50 and whilst you are in bootloader check what the spl line says.

I think i forgot the radio flash, will try it tomorrow.

You have to be careful with the Radio flashing. It is a good way of bricking your phone. I have had the same radio on my HD2 since I got it and never needed to change it. I have ICS running on it now and I am still on the same radio. You may have used the wrong version of HSPL when you flashed that portion. I would make it stock and start from scratch...follow this guide to make it stock and start from the begining.

You only need to worry about flashing an incompatible radio with TMOUS phones, and as far as I know you shouldn't ever need to change the radio of those for Android anyway, so everything should be fine.

We can safely assume he's got an EU phone as not only is he from the UK but he's got a .51 radio (Android isn't booting), and I think that all of the TMOUS phones come stock with a .50 radio (or bricked )

If you know you're going to get flamed for not reading properly, surely the logical thing to do would be to go back and start reading properly? As shanman said, MAGLDR requires HSPL2.08 which you would have realised if you read any one of the numerous guides available (e.g. the one in my sig).
