Tmobile HD2 hspl 2.10 question

Hello, i am new to the HD2 and i want to unlock it to install new roms. I checked my spl and i am running 2.10 and not 2.08 so the exe file that is given wont work. It says it is corrupt and it wont install. Is there a way tdowngrade the spl to 2.08 from 2.10?

Install the factory 2.10.1 ROM via your SD so that your SPL will be changed to 2.08. Then you should be able to use HSPL for 1024.

Yes, flash HSPL3, then run a Task29, then flash your preferred ROM.

Problem getting to spl 2.08 - please help
HI,
I've done my share of reading on this (my favorite) and other forums. Most recommend using HSPL3 for going back to SPL 2.08. I've tried that may times - unsuccessfully though...
Can anyone suggest what am I doing wrong?
==========
--- I currently have SPL 2.10.0000 8G XE
---I formatted the memory card to MS-DOS(FAT) (using disk utility)
---I am using ActiveSync....
---when I previously tried using HSPL3 I get to the screen where it should load to 100%, but never get to where it says "successfully hacked" or whatever it says when done; In my case it just loads up and then goes down... It can do that for hours if you let it.
Any help is appreciated as I am dying to see android running on this babe. Tx

I was able to downgrade my SPL 2.10.0000 to 2.08.HSPL simply by us by using one of the earlier roms listed here [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653"[/URL] first then running the HSPL2_1024 and choosing 2.08.HSPL from the list.

you can't change your spl version 3.03 with HSPL sir, it's incompatible.
If you need to have HSPL you need to turn back on a previous stock ROM.
but way you needs to have HSPL?

couse i want to make a dual boot,
but turn back on which stock ROM.
couse i just purchased this hd2
so please help more

Go on the website of HTC, select the aria of where your device came from (or in case if you have a branded device you need to go on the operator website)
- download with the help of your S/N your Stock rom 1.66 ore 1.47 depending of your aria/branded version.
- Install the new (Previous) ROM.
That's it.

Depending on what radio you have installed on your rom. If you have the correct radio then yes, just copy the Android rom to your sd card and run dual boot. If however you have the wrong radio then you need hspl in oder to change the radio first.
Check here for radios that work with Android if needed.

if you have spl 3.03, most likely your radio is 2.15., so no problems (all one needs is a radio >=2.08) and you have it!! (check in phone software in settings).....put your favourite android folder on sd card...open the folder, click clrcad (nothing happens...this step is necessary to enable sound in android)..next click haret...android will boot..., wait for 5-15 mins for first time boot...will take time..........enjoy
as for jmd dual boot cab..install in windows (cab file=windows )..this will show a selection option at bootscreen when you power on the phone...select between android or windows...enjoy (see also EBL loader...an alternative to jmd...has other options too)

tnks guys for all your help,
i have done it and works good,
tnks again

[Q] How Do You Get SPL 1.42.0000?

I'm currently trying to get Android NAND on my [T-Mobile (US)] HTC HD2. It requires to flash MAGLDR, but you need to install HSPL 2.08 before you can do so. However, you can't install that unless you have SPL 1.42.0000.
Right now, I have SPL-2.10.0000.
I read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5923079&postcount=4
It said that you would need to get a 1.48 ROM, but whenever I put my serial number in, it says, "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Should I do a hard reset and return it to factory settings or something?
What do I need to do to get SPL 1.42.0000 instead?
Other info: I have ROM version 3.14.531.1 and Radio version 2.15.50.14.
Thanks!

if you flash anything that gives your tmous (t mobile us) hd2 spl 1.42.0000, it will be dead. you are reading ooooold information, related to the regular hd2, not teh tmous (you have a 'tmous', or '1024leo' or 't-mo hd2' its important that you keep an eye out for that.)
keep reading., , a starter hint if your aim is android is 'hspl4 - 2.08.hspl'

U need hspl4, do a reach on it

[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.
