HSPL Back to original SPL anyone succeed it ?

Hi,
I have a little issue: I HSPL my HD2 no problem with . It's just my phone have a hardware problem & I wanna go back to Original SPL 1.42000. I found the original rom made for my branded handy
extract and rename the .nbh
format sdcard in proper format.
neither in sync nor in bootloader mode. Invalid vendor ID. Rom Upgrade issue for me.
How can I uninstall the HSPL ?
PS/ I tried all words given by bepe and other's concerning issues. I didn't found it. I must sent back my phone soon for warrantly reason...

Did you try to install the ROM from HTC website or did you find an Orange specific ROM?

It is an orange specific rom. cause it is a branded handy.
I even try from HTC website one but no satisfaction. I think it is normal by this one ?

I have a non branded "german" device.
I decided to go back from the HSPL to the stock SPL.
I wanted to flash with the Turkey 1.61 rom to have after this procedure the newest radio 2.07 on it.
I have followed the steps from bepe
But my SD card has a "goldcard" file on it.
Go to the HSPL thread and see my post #383
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
I have noted down all outputs during flashing.
At least I would give it a try and use a "Goldcard" to get back your original rom.
Hope it helps & Good luck!

In addition to what the previous poster described:
One can definitely flash the original ROM using the SD card to uninstall HSPL.
Many people do it by accident...
That being said, one question: Are you sure you have the correct ROM file?
You know, the error you mention only arises if you have to answer "no" to that question.

SD card should be formated FAT32. The original one is FAT16

What does it exactly mean: "One can definitely flash the original ROM using the SD card to uninstall HSPL"
We can uninstall HSPL by loading the .nbh from the official ROM from htc website from fat32 formated sd card ?
If the answer is yes, I have done it many times but no satisfaction.
Yes I use the proper and official htc and/or orange .nbh.
How to get out please.

If you do all steps in the correct way, flashing the original nbh with the SD card will definitely overwrite HSPL with stock SPL.
It has happened to quite a lot of people who were not aware of the fact that this happens when flashing a stock ROM with this method.
When you get a wrong carrier ID error message, you don´t have the right ROM, as the device will only allow to flash ROMs with the correct CID, be it HTC or operator stock ROMs.
Did you check the SPL version after the process with the SD card? If it says 1.42.0000, why don´t you try flashing with the original RUU?

yes confirm

I confirm: it happends to me: when I flashed the 1.61 HTC official rom from my SD, it replace the HSPL by the original SPL of HTC.

hi all, just want to share..
stock spl is 1.42 and after hspl 1.42hspl or 1.42.6666 if i'm not mistaken.
if to unsintall this hspl, i use flash using sd card method and it will re write radio and spl back to 1.42.
i also using turkey stock rom, but we cannot flash turkey stock rom using sd card method as it will rewrite spl and will give you error. wrong region. if this happen, in 3 colour mode, run you hspl. when it restart, make sure you push volume down button to get back in tricolour mode. if you not pushing vol down button, it will also boot in tricolour but hspl wont work, happen to me, spl back to 1.42.000. the flash using custom ruu.
just sharing with you guys.

It should be LEOIMG.nbh.

dont forget you might want to use MTTY to do task29 to format the device instead of CustomRUU.exe
tbh you can probably use the RUU from HTC if you have HSPL anyway.
p.s. yeah LEOIMG.nbh - LEOING.nbg made me smile - finger-twister

Okay I have tested restoring SPL1.42.0000 on a vendor-id'd phone.
Tried 2 ways of formatting the SD card:
a. formatting the sd card to FAT32 via Diskdrive mode connected to pc
b. Formatted in HD2 using onboard utility in HD2.
Tried 2 images but not the vendor-id image since I do not have that image.
a. Vendor ROM but in different language
b. Stock ROM HTC
Tried 2 ways of changing SPL back to 1.42.0000
a. Reset + vol down shows a 1 second message "Checking.", after that it immediately goes to the blue-green-red bootscreen showing bootloader 1.42.HSPL
b. From bootloader connect USB to pc and flash using stock RUU.
All combinations of above I can not restore SPL. Must be because HD2 requires correct ROM image + correct vendor-id.
Is there possibly a way to remove HSPL in some way without the original vendor image? Goldcard?

Check out my video on reverting back to stock spl
Its in my signature.
Not sure if its the same for locked devices though, just have a look

very good manual that is. In video manual is exactly the procedure I did. However the vendor-id'd HD2 won't get to the point where the image can be flashed. It gets to the point up to 1:37-1:38 in your video where the word "Checking..." blinks in an instant. After that it returns to bootloader screen.
So no luck yet

Oh sorry man

Goldcard also tried and no luck.
Every time I reboot to bootloader it gives the colored screen, proceeds to white screen with blue letters, in an instant shows: "Loading..." ..followed by: "Checking..." ..and then returns to colored bootloader main screen.
edit:
I keep thinking whether it is normal or not that the white screen doesn't show any kind of confirmation that it did actually find any nbh file whether it is valid or not. Maybe it just exits when the nbh is not valid, that may be the case.
However I have now ran the routine a whole lot of times and make zero progress.
Maybe better continue the search for the correct ROM to flash with.

just try one of the official roms posted in the official roms thread. don't try 1.61 - only 1.43/48

I have tried all official roms posted including 1.43 and 1.48 and up without success. The bootloader wouldn't go further after having checked the SD card contents. It did not work at all.
Finally now I bricked (I hope temporarily) my HD2 by trying to install the latest official 2.02 from the RUU.
Strange things have happened here.
I had earlier copied an 148 or so nbh to sd card. Bootloader would't work out as explained in posts above. So after all (with card with 148 nbh still inside) I figured it was time to check what ROM 2.02 would do, since I believe it would overwrite all SPL including HSPL since it is a v2 SPL. At least I hoped.
When I opened the RUU, it did reboot the phone as it is supposed to do with RUU.
Few things happened:
a. The phone booted in bootloader and showed me the white step screen which indicated there was a nbh about to be flashed. This was the nbh on the card!
b. The RUU errored with error 260 that the connection was lost. I have never lost a connection, must be because file on sd card took control.
c. Since connection was lost and the phone wanted a flash from the sd card I pressed vol up to continue update. it did start updating... but at about 9% I got a big triangle /exclamation mark, and HD2 stopped updating.
Reboot. Guess what??? SPL 1.42.0000 in bootloader now. From the nbh on the card.
But NO boot, NO radio .... After all I managed to destroy phone and HSPL.
Had to goldcard my way back in. However, problem solved!

HD2 bricked ? Attempted to install UK WWE 1.66 onto Voda HD2 with HPSL

Help!
First time attempt at using HPSL and may have bricked my HD2 :-(
I have a Voda supplied HD2 so can't install the stock ROMs directly...I thought I would be able to do so via HPSL, but it seems not. I was trying to install 1.66 (UK WWE) following the HPSL for dummies guide, and did the following:
- installed HPSL onto HD2, confirmed by going into bootloader
- put nbh file (extracted from stock .exe) onto SD card, named LEOIMG.nbh
- entered bootloader and chose flash option via power button
- flash started (minimal progress)
- within 2mins error showed
- now going into bootloader shows
00028002
Not allow
then..
SPL-1.42.0000 :-(
Upgrade ROM code error Please try again
If I start normally I get a warning triangle.
How can I get my HD2 back from the dead, ideally with 1.66 rather than the crummy Voda 1.43? (can anyone point me at a stock ROM for the voda 1.43, perhaps that would at least unbrick it?)
Help!!!!
*EDIT* Currently downloading the Voda 1.43 image, hoping I can at least get that back and running...if that works will still be keen to find out how to apply stock 1.66 via HPSL (bearing in mind that the CID lock(?) means I can't apply 1.66 on my voda device thru normal means)

The 3rd sticky down in the HD2 ROM Development thread is titled, "[REF]Leo Official ROMs" - Click that.
Then click, "Shared folder for shipped Leo ROMs".
The first "box" will have the title "Leo 1.43" under it. Click the hand carrying the folder icon.
You'll be greeted with 3 ROM's, select RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe and download it.
Hope that helps.
Good luck with getting your phone back up and running.

Your device is not bricked. I think you have not installed HSPL properly.
Try installing HSPL again. As it seems your HSPL is not installed properly. Follow the following instructions very carefully :
Connect your phone to USB
I think when you boot in by default your device goes into bootloader if not press volume down + power butoon on the same time, your phone will enter tri color bootloader mode.
At the bottom of your screen it shoul show "USB"
Now download the HSPL.zip file(I have attached it here)
Now run HSPL.exe and follow the onscreen insteuctions.(Mostly you have nothing to do it will start installing automatically)
After a while on the screen of your phone a text will appear saying "We hacked it". If this text is displayed then everything went ok. Now confirm by clicking yes on the computer screen and it will finish the process.
All done.
Your phone will restart.
If you want to check that your fone has HSPL then press volume down+power key at the same time. The phone will enter into bootloader and should show "cotullaHSPL".
Now you can install any ROM and it will run properly.

Thanks - had just found that and started downloading as you posted this..fingers crossed! If this works will still be keen on ways to apply 1.66 (stock) to my voda CID locked device.

This is exactly what happened 1st time I installed HSPL...however trying it again did get the phone back and apparenty healthy again....thanks!
So - 2nd attempt to flash the 1.66 ROM, same as before. Confirmed HSPL installed via tri-colour bootloader screen, selected (via power button) option to flash from SD. Progress bar gets to (max) 10%, Warning triangle briefly shows then phone goes back to tricolour bootloader (but with std. SPL version) and nothing more happens.
Should I be waiting longer ? i.e. is the phone potentially still flashing when on the tricolour, std. SPL, screen ? Not flashed an HD2 before so not 100% sure I'm doing this right..will double check videos on this site, sure I'm just being stupid/impatient/not read enough....may try downloading the ROM again incase corrupted.
Anyway, HSPL installed for 3rd time and phone appears fine back running with 1.43.

People please read the HSPL thread properly, once you have installed the HSPL you CANNOT install from SD card you HAVE TO USE THE PC to install any rom images that are not original HTC.

Yeah, the 1.66 ROM you've downloaded may be corrupted. And next time, try installing the ROM with USB connection and the ROM's .exe file. You SPL is reverting back to stock, so it's possible that the culprit is flashing with SD.

OK, problem solved...
Rather than installing the stock ROM via HSPL bootloader I installed HSPL and then ran the RUU exe for the stock ROM. Phone now upgraded

I believe Dragon Soft was possibly referring to not using a stock ROM from SD? If I remember correctly flashing a Stock ROM from SD with HSPL on will remove HSPL.
So in other words, if you have HSPL and want to have a stock ROM, it is best install it from the PC when connected via ActiveSync as this won't affect the HSPL.
Custom ROM absolutely no probs with flashing from SD, the HSPL will stay intact, good work on the video ★

I got my Leo two days ago, went home, put HSPL on it in the first place, wanted to upgrade the stock ROM, and ended up same as CraigBruce. Really frustrating, thought I'd bricked it. So I re-flashed HSPL and this time a custom ROM and it was back up again.
Now I know that I should have flashed the stock ROM via ActiveSync and not SD card which would have left the HSPL intact. I will definitely remember that for the future

just remember that some people WANT to remove HSPL when installing a stock ROM - e.g. when returning device.
tbh it should have worked with stock ROM and sdcard as leoimg.nbh - it is the way listed in HSPL thread to uninstall after all!!! we dont always want to use customRUU!!!
As from the noob flashing thread
NOTE: The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from microSD card
* You can also use this method to flash back your Stock Rom and Stock SPL that you originally had on your phone*
VIDEO TUTORIAL: [★] has made a YouTube video to walk people through flashing a Stock SPL via activesync. Find it *HERE*
- Download a shipped Rom from *HERE*
- Rename the extension to .zip
- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder
- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32
- Insert your storage card into your phone
- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

With hspl installed you CAN flash CUSTOM roms using sd card, it is only flashing OFFICIAL roms through sd card that removes hspl.

sorry to crash this thread but...
i have flashed HSPL on to my HD2 and am now wanting to install HTC's new 1.66 rom.
i have a VF hd2 so i am a little worried i will hit the same issues as the OP did.
can some one hold my hand through flashing the ROM as im a complete noob to this.. i have read the FAQs and im a bit like with all the acronyms etc

Use the custom ruu to flash it. Do not put the nbh on the sd. I quote from the "[HSPL]How to flash everything" thread:
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

No Problem Flashhing to 1.66 on a Voda HD2 with HSPL
I have a voda HD2 and being a total Newbie to the HTC / WM .. I followed the Dummie guide.. (thanx to all, for that.. fantastic..) installed HSPL..and then installed the latest 1.66 from the HTC site using a boggus serial number.. As actual would not let me download it. No problemo..
Feeling a bit more adventureous.. any suggestions for the best 'cooked Rom' ??

From my understanding, you can flash away Stock ROMS using activesync. No need for HSPL.

How to Downgrade Firmwares.

Hey guys. Ive been searching very hard now to find this answer! I Updated to 2.13.531.1 And I would like to know how to go back to the firmware before it.
--Thanks!!

did you flash it thru sd card? before flashing thru sd card, did you put hspl in your phone?
what's your stock rom?

Hmm, I dont belive so. And No. I couldent figure out how to put HSPL on it. So no. And I do not know my Stock rom.. I think it was.. 2.10..

Hi Supp,
You need to provide more info to get xda members to reply. Go to settings tab in manila - software info. There u can find ROM, OS and Manila version. Also state if your HD2 is branded. Turn off the phone, hold volume down button and on the phone. You will see a tri-color screen (Its called SPL). Post that info as well.
Suggest u start with stickies. You will need Hard SPL to flash custom roms (its not called firmwares)
HSPL2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
What ever u play with, NEVER flash 2.13 TMOUS rom using SDcard with HSPL installed - no one so far will be able to help u. You have been informed. Hopefully u have not done this fatal mistake!

Okay here we go!
OS:5.2.21892.5.0.89

No idea what thats all about really..Now what..

If you have an original HTC (no vodafone,o2,tmo...)
1a) go to the htc website hd2 ROM update section and enter your serial number there
if you use a branded one
1b) visit the website of the company OR search the forum. you will find everything you need here.
2) Download and extract with winzip/winrar what ever
3) search for ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on a fresh fat32 formated sd card and put the card in your phone
4) start in bootloader (power on with vol down) and let it flash
thats it.

Well, This means u already have HSPL installed. U a have enabled it to flash any custom rom you want. I would suggest u flash through usb (may be slower, but i prefer it because HSPL cannot be overwritten and SD card will overwrite HSPL is the rom has Stock SPL bundled)
I suggest you pick any roms you heart desires and flash it since you already installed HSPL. Dont ask which custom rom is best becaused nobody here really likes that of question. Just download and try until you find the one fits your taste and style or read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683743

ruu_signed.nbh or LEOIMG.nbh can be found in the archive of the custom roms you downloaded. If you download stock rom, you need to extract the installshield package (just change the *.exe to *.zip and open it with winzip/winrar). When you extract whichever package you have download, thats the version number! Hope im being clear

Im sorry, but if you dont know where you bought the device you must have Alzheimer.
First try the htc website:*click*
Was it THAT hard?
It will ask for your serial number. If you dont know where to find it please READ!!!!
If your ID dont fits you bought a branded one. if you dont know the operator i cant help you!

and by the way....you never know that your phone has already an hspl.....if i were you...you better know your stock rom before flashing anything....you might be Tmous, o2....let's just say...it's better to know your phone than in the end it's "Bricked"....

Alright. So this video is what is showing me what I need to do?

[Q] My phone is not booting LEOIMG.nbh

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLVED
Thanks to all the helpers; it turned out that this was the problem
Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up ;-))

Hello,
I've tried to search around for a solution to this problem for a few hours, so I'll dare to ask my question in a new thread
To make things short! I'm trying to reset absolutely everything to the way it was when I got the phone; radio, stock ROM, bootloader etc because I experience trouble with the phone. The problems started after I used the HTC program from the HTC website to reinstall windows mobile (for the interested, more on that in the next section). I am now trying to flash LEOIMG.nbh to the phone via the bootloader - but nothing just plain happens. I am 120 % certain that I've done everything correctly - formatting SD card to FAT32, load LEOIMG.nbh to it (and not LEOIMG.nbh.nbh, or something else) - it just won't start, and displays the tri - color screen. Says something about 2.08 HSPL, so I think the bootloader version is correct.
So, for the interested - after using Android for a few days I decided I wanted to use WM because it's better for me. So as stated above, I used the HTC installer from the HTC website to install windows mobile over some custom ROM. But having trouble with the wifi, I think it didn't install the correct radio version - do you think I am correct? In any case, I decided I wanted to do it the correct way this time, and extract the RUU_signed file to SD card and go.
Some extra info...
When starting bootloader, it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
Numbers on HTC logo
R 2.15.50.14
G 15.42.50.11u
D 3.14.04666

Just some questions;
- Witch stock Rom are you trying to flash over SD?
- Witch size is your SD-card?

The stock ROM I am trying to flash, I got from the HTC support website
*I was not alloved to post links to external website, but it was supposed to be here ;-))*
So I've downloaded the latest ROM upgrade (in Norwegian, "ROM oppgradering" on the site) using a norwegian serial number I found in another thread. I've opened it with winrar, and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh file.. Does this answer you question? In one of the tutorials to reset the phone said for me to "download a RUU_signed.nbh file from *here*", but there were so many different files in there... So I just downloaded the official newest ROM upgrade from the HTC website.
My SD card is of size 16 GB, but right now I just tried with another one of 2 GB size. No change........

Why do you used a serial number which is not yours? The phone is stollen? (just kidding)... As an advice, if you want to be sure to flash the correct ROM use your own serial number on the HTC website.
If you bought your phone in another country (I've done this... from a country I can't even read a word) then put back in the original language.
When back to "original" you can always flash again the hardspl then the ROM you like in Norvegian.
Anyway with the info provided the radio has not been flashed.
info: when you say the radio flash through WiFI... nothing will never be flashed via Internet (cable or WiFi). It's downloaded on your computer then (and only then) flashed to your device.
Question: could your phone can access the SD when in your actual OS?
Idea: flash back to WM6 via USB then try again. It seems you're doing all good but that the SD is not recognized.

To be honest, I used the serial number on the forum because I couldn't be arsed to remove the battery.... )
I think you've misunderstood me a bit; I've not tried to flash the phone over wifi...
So, any suggestions as to what could be the reason for the bootloader not starting LEOIMG.nbh?

That's a good reason!!!
No make sure your phone access the SD. You're actually under Anrdoid or WinMo? Honnestly I don't understand your problem (I mean I understand your problem but can't understand why... very usefull post so)

euh... by the way. The only way to go out of the bootloader if you don't flash is to remove the battery no?

I'm trying not to get into reasons to make the post short and consise; suffice to say I got some troubles (memory leak, wifi) under winmo 6.5 after I've been doing some flashin. So I want everything back the way it was - radio, bootloader, winmo 6.5. Just as if I got it for the first time! I think after all the posts I've been reading this can be done by flashing that LEOIMG.nbh from som official stock rom with the bootloader.
BUT ---- the bootloader doesn't load LEOIMG.nbh!

You think 100% right.
I'll do the test on mine and post if it works or not (I'll only flash a radio, sorry but don't want to erase all my data).

Ok, I download radio 50.14 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787&highlight=radio
Rename exactly as you write in the post LEOIMG.nbh
Put on the root of my SD
Power the phone while holding vol down.
My phone asked directly if I want to update (so I pressed vol down to cancel).
You can try with the same file to see if the file you have is corrupted.
If it's the same... SD access problem??? So HW problem... not good.
You can try to reflash the HSPL just in case.

Don't know if it will help but my HSPL gives a different info:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
So all is the same except I have 0X30 and you 0x40
My HD2 is a European on (non-TMOUS).

Tried reflashing the HSPL. I noticed something interesting actually..
The screen flashes grey for about 100 ms! So when I enter bootloader with <vol down>, it shows tricolor screen, then flashes grey, then comes back into tricolor... Think I read something similar in another post...
Thanks for trying so hard to help mister! I don't know if it is my english or anything, but I'm trying to flash the entire stock ROM as described in another tutorial here (still can't post links...), not just the radio..
If I knew which radio was the correct one for me, I'd just flash that one instead, but I have not found any info on this anywhere..
I'll see if I can format the SDcard to FAT32 once more and try again..

Finally!
I did a complete format (not a quick one) in windows on my 2 GB card, and now it is working. Think the quick format thing was to blame for this.... As we've all been warned from before.
It's flashin' now, so I'll give you a holler if something else is up )

Good to hear that!
You learned me something with your format.

[q] failed revert to stock dont wanna brick again!

Eyyy i tried to revert it to stock ROM!!
i copyd the downloaded RUU_SIGNED.nbh from the website of htc.com with my serial number and renamed it to leoimg.nbh and then i started boatloader and install it, after like 20% it said '' installation failed'' 2002200 error or something like that.. now imma film it with my desire hd,....
after failure it restarted to boatloader with SPL 3.03.000
i got a LEO from Europe.. WHAT NOW?!

If you downloaded from HTC it should be in an .exe format
Put your phone in bootloader (when the phone is off hold down volume down and press the power button) you should see a tricolor screen. Plug your phone in to the pc run the exe and follow the instructions through.

Or uncompress the .exe file with winzip. You will find the .nbh file inside.

I unzipped it, and copied everything from the folder to the root of my sd,
then i started the installation from the boatloader. but then IT FAILED! WTF?
and after '' installation failed'' the phone restarted to the boatloader, now it shows.
HX-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(touch) 0x30
I bricked my phone after i installed SPL2.08.oooo
they told me after that i should have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL
Now im afraid if i take out my battery, this SPL-3.03.0000 will brick it!!

Sorry i filmed it, and tried to reset it, it reset and said software update failed, then that error.

You CAN'T copy everything from the RUU...it will always fail. You just need the .nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.NBH.

IMma not sure what it said exactly but something with '' BAD PHONE ID'' when i tried to open HSPL2_RUN
Now trying to flash the stock rom from usb it got stuck at 0%..
it says : BAD SPL VERSION!
So im stuck with SPL3.03.0000
Cant flash anything....
so what to do?!
tried to flash stock ROM from htc.com from sd
it says ''Not allow'' 20002
tried to flash it from the usb it gets stuck at 0%
cant flash to SPL 2.08 HSPL because i have spl 3.03 right..?

Let me guess, the microSD Card is a 8GB or greater - it is a known problem.
If you need to flash via the SD Card then go either for a 1, 2 or 4GB one. MAking sure that it is formatted correctly.
Forget all about HSPL right now, as the HTC ROMs or the branded versions all come with ROM, RADIO and SPL.

from your video, your SPL is not showing a model ID in bootloader.
(The top line in bootloader, Eg mine says 'PB81100 SS-BC)'
Ive seen this crop up on a few occasions, where the ID gets corrupted, or like yours vanishes completely.
Problem is now of course that all roms will give bad model ID.
I'm not sure of any fix, however if memory serves i seem to remember someone tweaked a customruu to avoid checking the model ID. (Though i couldn't immediately find it just now, , not that i tried too hard, thats your job )
Not sure if it will help, but i think id try flashing a stock rom with the tweaked RUU, if i could find it.

First of all, nope it was a 2gb, didnt use my 16..
second you're right when i tried to flash it it said '' BAD MODEL ID''
i got a test in a couple of hours, when i get back i will search for it a tweaked customruu whatever that is :|

Searched for it..
couldnt find it...
i guess no helpp.

I'll try remember to look tomorrow, but with all the forum changes,,,,, like finding a needle in a big pile of needles.
I may be remembering it wrong anyway.
Do google searches like
+hd2 corrupted model id inurl:forum.xda-developers.com
There are a few threads over the past year regarding model id

Searched couldnt find anything usefull.
still waiting for the saving angel............

You are not on HSPL that's why it doesn't work.

heres what i think i was thining about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706064
Before hspl3, this workaround allowed people to bypass the model id check for particular model IDs, perhaps a blank ModelIDCheckBypass.txt (since your model ID is blank) file would work?
oops, i forgot you were also stuck on spl 3.03.0000, so even bypassing the model ID, hspl would still fail because it doesn't support spl 3.03.0000.
So, normally, only a correct stock rom (usb or sd) of lower version, ((out because of the mdoel ID) or any other stock rom through goldcard would work, but i'm not sure how goldcard would respond to no model id.
If you can get a CID for an sd card (2gb or smaller ideally), pm me with it and an email address and i can make you a goldcard image.
Gotta be worth a try.
There are several ways to find a CID, if you have another winmo phone you can use for 5 minutes, thats wayyy the easiest way.

after im done, i will pm you my e-mail!

Hope u find some help here bro
