T-Mobile US branded HD2 HSPL issue

i received a T-Mobile US Branded HD2 for free at a training event in NYC Monday. i jacked the phone up immediately when i got home in a attempt to flash the hspl for custom rom flashing. of course the hspl flash failed because of the new spl version so i then attempted to downgrade it with a older shipped rom using bepe's SSPL following his instructions correctly. as soon as the status bar appears on my pc, my hd2 prompts me asking to allow the application to go into bootloader. after touching yes, the hd2 screen turns black and stays black with the sspl ruu displaying a connectivity error.
ahhhhhhhhh! somebody help.
im guessing my spl is too new to downgrade?

In a word, yes (I think, might be wrong)...
Have you not read of the people flashing to the T-Mobile 2.x ROMs who can't downgrade their SPL if not using HSPL?
Don't know whether MTTY with an SD card flash would work but I wouldn't risk it

as I understand the s pl 2 issue, it seems theres no way to down grade it currently. I believe you can flash cooked roms with sspl.
do you have spl 2? boot to boot loader and check, cos it might be 1.6 and you can fix that one by flashing a lower stock rom that matches the vendor.(or gold carding, but gold card won't work on 2)
oh, regarding the connectivity error, try flash from a usb port directly on the motherboard (round the back)I get connectivity errors with hspl using ports in the front of the pc case.

no luck, spl 2.08.0000... cooked roms wont flash either even with SSPL

ahh well,I wouldn't worry too much, I predict we'll see hspl 2 before too long.
in the meantime im sure I've read theres a way to flash some things to spl 2.

sspl should work.
connect the leo normally with active sync, ie a booted running rom.
out should change to the sspl tricolor screen.
leave it too time out. pull the usb cable.plug it back in again, without doing anything to the leo..
it should change to usb. rerun sspl.

I'd similar situation, you've to install official ROM with lower version of SPL like version 1.48 then you can apply Hard SPL and it'll work.
To do it i used GoldCard method (installation using the SD card method).
My configuration:
HD2, TMOUS 2.10
What's the version of your ROM and if it's possible to post a screen capture of the "Software Information" page?
Good Luck

DON'T USE SSPL and HSPL on new 576/1024 GB devices.
There are (in 1.42) no support for 1024 chips.
New SSPL and HSPL (based on 2.08) will work. In development.

You and Bepe are the only ones that can fix it lol. I wonder why they changed the SPL for all of the T MO HD2's

i just jumped shiped from android to hd2 and my understanding so far is that there isnt a way to load custom roms on the US HD2? Is this correct?

Probably. But u can try Goldcard methon. Dont brick yours man.

Goldcard method wont work on US HD2

Hi Vizag,
Since you had also a HD2, do you find the American HD2 (TMOU) faster than the 8585 model ?

That's gonna suck.
Waiting for new hspl.....

yea, I love the phone but it def needs a custom rom lol. The US tmobile version also did not come with the tether app that htc said it would come with. But I was able to download it, but the bad part is when you tether the hd2 cant surf the web :*(

I am so glad I came across this thread. Give me the exact answers I was looking for.
I love custom rom's so i cant wait to flash one to this thing. Btw I love the phone. Everything is awesome!
btw does anyone know if transformers can be transferred off without deleting?

to disable Hardspl extract ruu**.nbh file and rename to LEOIMG.nbh
put this on your SD card then make hard reset
Before I had 3 HD2 TyTNII devices
2 had a hardware defect
on both devices was not partly filled with the original T-Mobile software
but the original HTC software with HardSPL
I still had full warranty

sorry shurup, you were right.

There is a difference in the HTC German ROM and the German T-Mobile shipped ROM. I bought my HD2 here in Germany and I flashed it with the 1.66 WWE ROM and the only difference I have found is the T-Mobile splash screen during start up. As far as I can tell, all the same programs are on the ROM.

Is it possible to flash this 1.66 WWE ROM on t-mobile rom without hspl? This is important for the warranty. In this case I can claim that the phone has a legal update.

Can I Use QMAT To Flash T-mobile Stock ROM To My HD2 T-Mobile USA?

Hi,can anyone please tell me that can i use QMAT to flash T-mobile USA 2.10 Stock ROM to my HD2 T-mobile USA phone ?bacause i'm facing an issue just like this guy does from this thread(sorry,i cannot give u the link because i'm a new user)= HTC Leo:HD2 > HD2 ROM Development > (Solved) Bad Flash or What? HD2 bricked!!.I've tried everything like this guy does and my last choice to flash T-mobile USA 2.10 Stock ROM to my HD2 T-mobile USA mobile phone via QMAT.Thanks
p.s. i have another htc hd2 and i've flashed it with custom rom with HSPL Without any problem.

Have you tried going to bootlaoder?
Never seen QMAT before but i did search it, maybe using jtag with it

QMAt is a goldcard if i'm not mistaken.Yes, i've tried everything.

QMAT is farrrr more than a goldcard, it can create goldcards, yes, (but only supports HD2 in the paid version) however with hspl and/or stock roms there should be no need at all for goldcard (though i havent read the thread you linked to)

I've tried to flash my hd with and without hspl but stuck at 9% like this guy does from this thread= HTC Leo:HD2 > HD2 ROM Development > (Solved) Bad Flash or What? HD2 bricked!!.I've tried everything but i get the same result.I've flashed two of my hd2 with custom rom without any problem at all.So my last chance is to flash my hd using goldcard.Is it safe to flash my hd with goldcard and does goldcard support my T-Mobile HD2 USA?

sure does. You will need to buy qmat, and you will also need a working win mo phone to get the cards unigue serial, unless you are lucky enough to have a card reader that ISN'T connected to a USB header. (Some laptops are like this, many arent)

will this void my t-mobile hd2 warranty?

do i need Hspl or not to flash the stock rom using qmat.Or do i use hspl only when i flash custom rom like normal.

how could it? if it works, it will be a stock rom, so no problem there.
The goldcard itsel;f leaves no trace that it has been there, , think of it as HSPL on a card, except that with the real hspl it leaves itself on your phone, with goldcard it doesnt.

Hey Guys,i totally appreciated ur help but i've decided to send my T-mobile hd2 to Htc Care Center in Taipei,Taiwan and they chrged me for only 9USD!!! to change the device MOBO.The phone is now with me and it works fine.

Gud Nooze Indeed. grats.

Moved as not ROM Development.

[Q] Bit Of Advice

Been out of the HD2 forums for sometime so bit rusty & out of touch.
I have manged to get hold of a T-mobile HD2 & would like to know if I can put a standard WWE ruu 6.5 on if I need to go back to windows for w/e reason?
I do intend to put Andriod on due to the extra memory on the T-mobile version.
Thanks

If you mean a t mobile USA (tmous) then NO!! Never ever flash an unbranded or non tmous branded) rom. Tmous will ONLY take tmous branded roms, otherwise the radio in regular roms will brick it.
However yes its simple to go back from android to winmo stock.

As far as i am aware it's a UK t-mobile thats been sim unlocked.
Will this make any difference? How can i tel if it's a tmous or not?
Ta

Ah that's different, only tmous (green send red end keys) are affected by radio brick. (Well, normal flashing risks apply, of course, but there's no rom that can brick your phone just by flashing it.)
The confusion is your post 1 mentions extra memory(edit see **), , that's tmous only. Your phone is a regular hd2, rom locked to t mobile. (Not connected to sim unlock, it will always be rom locked to t mo, so your stock roms will be "HTC Leo UK tmo 1.43, 1.72 and 3.14.
The tmous can be considered a slightly different phone than the rest of us have.mines o2 UK, same as yours but different rom lock. Everything's the same tho, dead easy to go back to stock, various ways to do it should you need to.(I wont 1,2,3 it, go read the tuts and stickies)
Edit ** I assumed you meant 1024 rom instead of 512, but maybe you mean the ram, 576 vs 448, well that extra 128 is actually there in our phones, you just don't get to use it in the stock roms, it requires a tmous spl and radio to unlock it,, android will see and use it, you don't need to do anything.

Htc hd2 to warranty

Hi there, need you guys to confirm me something: i had Android on my Htc HD2 but i need to send it to warranty. I've installed Windows mobile from HTC site (didnt ask for serial number is it normal?), put SPL 3.03.0000 and radio 2.15.50.14 Do i need anything else? Just need confirmations so i can send it today

After reverting back to Stock - nope. Stock SPL, stock ROM. Which carrier do you use? Use the ROM and SPL that comes from that carrier

I have the normal HD2 (not the T-Mobile version). I didn't understand pretty well your answer. So what i have to do different from what it is now so it can go to warranty?

So the main thing is: Different carriers use different ROM versions. For example there might be different Sense versions. If you can find out with which Sense version your HD2 was shipped that'd be better - I think
