Hello all,
I recently purchased HD2, the first thing I did was going to HTC website and downloaded the latest ROM Version: 1.66.415.3, now my SPL version is 1.66000 XE. I searched the forum before posting this thread, but I did not find a clear post that answers my questions, and I am still a newbie in modding field, so please bare with me.
This ROM includes Arabic language support which I need, but its quite bugged, in away that most of the menus are in Arabic now, and even though I chose from the settings to have them in English, even disabling multi-language support wouldn't change the menus to English and they still are in Arabic.
More over some bugs, like the Arabic supported Keyboard will always play a very high click sounds, even if I reduce the volume, put it on Silent or Vibration, everything will be silent except for the Arabic Keyboard would still play the clicks.
So i thought there must be a fix for it, and the best possible way to do it in my opinion is Via installing HSPL, now the problem is I can no where find how I am able to Roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL, since i have SPL 1.66, So my question is, Does anyone know how and where can I roll back to SPL 1.42 so that I can install HSPL ?
My second question, Is there any Custom Rom that have full Arabic support meaning I can type and read Arabic Websites/Messeging/Email/MMS and such ? I saw Seatone's ROM that indicates Arabic Support, but I cant find anywhere to what extent it is ?
My third question is after rolling back to SPL 1.42 from SPL 1.66 and installing HSPL (assuming that this process is possible), Can I update to Newer SPL and still have HSPL installed ? or I would have to remove the HSPL in order to update my SPL ?
My last question is regarding RADIOS, can I install multiple RADIOS or I can only have one installed at a time ? Also for Backing up my ROM on my device (assuming I dont have the software on the PC), how do I do it ?
Eventually thanks for your time and consideration to help me in this matter, looking forward to hear some answers !!
All the official roms can be download here.

once download, I think you can just follow the procedures for removing HSPL to put it back to a standard factory state.
Thanks for the reply, but i think you got me wrong.
I dont have HSPL on my device currently, I have Factory SPL version 1.66, I want to install HSPL, but in order to do so I need SPL 1.42, the link you provided only includes SPL 1.43 ... and from what I read I HAVE to HAVE SPL 1.42 in order to install HSPL, please correct me if I am wrong ?

Help
Good Night.
I have a HTC HD2 with the 1.66.0000 XE SPL, and with the following ROM "RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship"
Because i update the ROM from the HTC Website, and it gave me that ROM, after i update it i notice that it is in NLD (Nederland), now i want to install other ROM and i Can't.
I want to do HSPL but to do that i need the SPL-1.42.000, to have that SPL i have tried to install other ROMS, but it had failed all the times with the following Error ("ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID ").
Need some help with this, because e don't understand NLD (LOL), and i want to install a PTG ROM.
.
Can anyone give me a hand? I have Telstra HD2 using on ATT in the U.S. and flashed to this ROM
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When I check the bootloader it says
SPL-1.42.HSPL
However when I try to HSPL it says.
You must have SPL 1.42.0000 and errors out. I read that if I flash any shipped OEM ROM it'll put it back to 1.42.0000 but it doesn't appear to be doing that.
Any help would be appreciated I'm trying to get any HSPL on this thing. I've also tried HSPL2 to no avail. It said bad ID or something.
Thank you in advance.

There are NO 1.43 roms that will work on your tmous, you WILL permanently destroy it if you do manage to flash one. The tmous will ONLY take roms version 2.x or higher
you are very lucky that you dont have hspl installed, else it would let you flash, and your phone would be dead.
So what do we do if we have tmous and want to install HSPL?

use hspl3.
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.

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.

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

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?
HSPL2 for Tmobile HD2 1024 is out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5983094&postcount=981
As stated in the title, I'm about to flash back to the old version because the new T9193 telstra doesn't want me to install the HSPL. Anyone who's got the official ROM with 1.42 SPL for me, that's appreciated.
The only ROM I can get from the HTC website is the ROM with 1.66 SPL.
I'm not certain, but I believe this one has spl 1.42.0000
RUU_Leo_Telstra_WWE*_1.49.841.1_Radio_Signed_15.28 .50.07U_2.05.51.11_Ship.exe

If not then just go back to your current rom.
that is the right one, telstra 1.49 has spl 1.42
by flash your ROM in this case, is the unlock neccessary? If I understand right, is the unlocking means I can get rid of the CID check to install any wrong CID or unsigned ROM. But if I want to install a CID matched ROM on my device, I don't need to isntall HSPL.
correct, you don't require hspl, because it is a telstra rom on a telstra phone.
Thanks for that! I'm gonna give it a go tonight, and let you guys know how it goes tomorrow.
Successful!!!
I hope people who has Telstra HTC HD2 can find something useful for them.
Greatly thanks to ClydeB1 and samsamuel!!!
I flashed a cooked ROM in and it worked. I restarted as one the applications asked.
Then the device freezed at the start up screen with the green HTC logo.
I have to hard reset the device and re-flash it.
Do you know what's wrong with it?

usually means you didnt flash a matching radio. Read your cooked rom thread, see what radios it recommends and compare to what you have.

- Do i have to Flash both .. or as my needs ?
- How can i know my current ROM version ?

No, the wm roms have cooked versions, the radio roms are normally just extracted from official roms.

Flashing roms does not impact on the locked/unlocked status of the phone.

Flashing the rom or radio is up to you. Depending on which rom you choose, some roms do require a specific radio version.

- How can i know if it is up to date ?

Go to HTC.com and enter your serial number. As you got your device from the US, you will have to check up there as the devices are area bound wrt updates.

That is up to you, there is no "must" update.

A matter of personal preference. wrt radios, try a few different ones to see which one works best for you.

As above, flashing does not affect the locking\unlocking, so it will remain unlocked.

Radios are area dependent, so try changing the radio to see if that helps.

Hey all, i have some problems with radio. I checked all threads and didn't found anything on this1. I've done hspl or smth like that to 2.08.
The thing is about radio, currently i can't do further and i got white screen + green htc logo and stuck at it, as far as i know i need radio update.
I tried that, eventhough i'm stuck at 0%, the thing is i have NOT t-mobile as most ppl here have, i have htc hd2, it was bought in lithuania officially and i'm not sure which radio version or whateva i need or what i do wrong! Sry if i posted in wrong section or did smth wrong, anyway i need help! don't wanna brick my phone, just bought it few hours ago and can't use it

dk if it helps, but on htc site if i select rom to update and choose my serial it tells that this fits me:

your hd2 is not unique; the majority have non-tmobile. actually there are many threads with your exact complaint.
but what you need to figure out is if you have hspl on it or not. you say you may have done it but then say 2.08 which seems more like spl.
so boot into bootloader, what does it say? then we can go from there!
2.08.HSPL, btw i found 1 user, he's from same country and city, propably got phone from lithuania too, he got in his sign: Radio v2.15.50.14 ;
can u check please if it's that radio ver?

If you boot into bootloader as the a ove post said you can check your SPL versiin this way. If you don't know how to do this just turn your HD2 off and then turn your HD2 back on but hd down the volume down button.The muticolor bootloader screen will come up. If you see SPL 2.08.0000 you have regular SPL. If you see SPL 2.08 HSPL then you have HSPL(Hard SPL) on your HD2. You should also se Cottula in the bootloader as well if you ha e HSPL.
You have a EU model HD2 so you can flash any radio version you want to flash and not brick your HD2. The issue of bricking a HD2 is only relavant to the T-Mobile(TMOUS) HD2. I suggest you flash radio version 2.15.50.14 it is the latest radio and the majority of poeple really like it.
Yay! downloaded that1, tried, and now it installed, and successfully! btw be4 that i installed magldr and it didn't worked cause was stuck, now it's loaded! gonna try wp7! yay! ty guys for fast answers!

Yeah MAGLDR requires a TMOUS compatible radio version to work. That is why you were having trouble before but gou have a TMOUS compatible radio version now so MAGLDR works. Hope you enjoy your HD2, and glad you got it working. I got your PM too by the way.
