Yesterday i was trying to restore my LEO with official HTC 3.14 Rom after a few months playing with Android on Nand... All went well and i didn't had any errors but for my surprise, after reboot i pressed vol down and hspl 2.08 was still there... Ok, so i repeated the process and this time from sd card and the same appened... I tought it would be better to use hspl4 to flash hspl 3.04, and try again, but this time hspl 3.04 was still there after reflash... So, flash29 and hspl2.08, and tried official rom 1.66 from sd card... stuck on 0%... also tried 3.04 from sd card and from pc on bootloader mode, but once flashing, allways stuck on 0%... So, and getting allready to the nerves, battery out once again and use hspl4 to flash original spl 3.04, flashed again from sd card and all went well and the phone booted ok and original... Naturely, the spl3.04 is there but i can't say if it was flashed with original rom, or if it's still the one flashed with hspl4...
Just my 50cents sharing another experience with our beloved LEO...
would it be possible that the Nand is getting "tired" ?
Is Spl 3.04 not the latest from stock? Is that not why we now have hspl4? I've been away from the forums for months so I'm not 100% but I think its just the new spl
Sent from my HTC HD2
If i'm not wrong hspl4 is just a tool that allows you to flash the originals or the bypassed bootloaders 2.08 and 3.04, that's why i decided the last time to flash original spl 3.04... What i forgot to say is that (and most strangly), once i flashed the 3.04 stock rom and it didn't overwrited hspl 2.08 the first time, once the device booted, looking in hardware informations on sence, it displayed 576 mb ram, and that shouldn't appen on a stock rom. Anyway, that's wath made me go back, reboot and check the bootloader version... I could even say that a stock 3.04 EU LEO rom with hspl 2.08, manage to entirely use of the 576mb ram... I'm not sure though... I can only say wath i've seen and could try to reproduce it to confirm it...

This procedure will tell you how to downgrade your SPL from 2.10.0000 (shipping stock now with TMO HD2) to 2.08 so that you may flash HARD SPL.
So for those who just received your TMO HD2's and want to start the process, this needs to be done before flashing HSPL and flashing custom ROMs.
1. Download this file:
www.2shared.com/file/MAsa78Yo/leoimg.html
www.megaupload.com/?d=VQ11Z040
2. Place the downloaded above LEOIMG.nbh on a 8GB or smaller microSD card (formatted in FAT32 is recommended)
3. Turn HD2 completely off. While holding POWER button also Hold the Volume Down button at the same time.
4. As soon as "Loading..." appears on the screen, release the Volume Down button. You will see a message stating how to proceed to flash the ROM.
5. The ROM will flash now. After its done your phone should reboot. Do a factory reset to clear out anything left over from previous ROM.
Now you should remove the SD CARD and reboot while holding the volume down button. On the tricolored bootload screen you should now see a SPL of 2.08. You are now ready to flash HSPL and then on to flashin all these great ROMs here on XDA.

Yes, it has to be a 8gb or smaller. I have not tried a SD larger than 8GB personally. But, it has been posted in more than one thread that it is required.

hey.please can you double confirm for me that you can downgrade phones that shipped with 2,13 from spl 2.10.0000 to spl 2.08.0000 over usb?
did you both start from stock 2.13 (I.e neither of you had done any flashing of any kind before that first downgrade)

From what I understand flashing via the SD card will assure your SPL wil be replaced (downgraded) properly. If you flash via the USB not sure if this process will complete properly. Im no expert but one thing I have learned from flashing my G1 hundreds of times, LISTEN TO THE SENIOR MEMBERS AND MODS.
It has been stated more than once here on XDA HD2 Tmo Dev section that you must flash VIA SD.
But a 16gb card wont worK? So I have to go buy a smaller one or wait for a updated hspl?
i downgraded and HSPLed my phone succesfully
thanks
I have a T-mobile HTC HD2 that had spl 2.10 which i received few days ago. I flashed a tmobile stock rom to downgrade to spl 2.08 through usb and installed hspl2 with no problem. You don't have to flash it via sd card.
Currently running Kumar's Rom V 2.0 with radio 2.10.50.26 (flashed radio afterwards)
SPL Downgrade help
I have a new hc hd2 and I attempted to downgrade the spl to 2.08.000 from 2.10 so that i could install HSPL2 1024. I attemted to downgrade via SD card and the spl downgrade failed and i am stuck at the bootloader screen after volume down reboot with, "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again".. in the green area. Please inform how to fix, and get my htc hd2 back. Thanks Also i found out after the fact that it is better to do via USB, how would I do that when my phone is stuck? It also has RUUNBH in the upper right hand corner.
Last noob question. When you say you did it through usb, do you mean you just connected your device to the computer transfered the file to the phone and did the whole reset thing? Sorry.

I wanted to upgrade from Artemis rom v15 to v22 so I did. Suddenly I have issues with freezing and hard resets. I find out that I need HSPL 1.66.
So I tried installing HSPL2 and it gives me an error, something about invalid id.
I try HSPL and it did something because now I have SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE showing up in bootloader.
But I'm told it's not what I need and 1.66 is what I need. I can't seem to uninstall HSPL firstly and I also don't know any other way to get to 1.66!
I've even tried SSPL and it doesn't work
dont worry about it. its fine as it now is with 2.08.hspl
hspl2 wont work on telstra. Use hspl3 (which i assume you did to get 2.08.hspl) and you can now stop worrying. All roms will work fine on 2.08.hspl, the recommendation to match the spl to the rom doesn't really matter.

thanks for the reply and the info. I ended up getting the stock Telstra rom back on via straight SD flash and decided to try SSPL and it flashed ok so far.
After I flashed 2.08 Artemis said "I think you have problem Sir
My suggestion is, first to solve HSPL problem (post to HSPL thread)
or use SSPL (remove HSPL first)...". So I guess that's what I did.
Right now I seem to have 1.42.6666 showing up. Do you know how I can get to 1.66?

If your spl in bootloader ends...
.0000 = stock
.hspl = hspl installed
.6666 = rom was flashed using sspl. This is not permanent, single flash only, you need to use SSPL each time you flash
You can't flash radios with SSPL, so you may have trouble with cooked roms that require a particular radio. (Roms with the 576 RAM unlocked, for example, require you change your radio, which is almost certainly why artemis rom failed)
you cant get to 1.66.hspl directly with a telstra,
(well, you can, using the ''HSPL2 on telstra'' workaround,, , its posted in the rom dev section)
however I can promise you you will be just as well using hspl3, and installing 2.08.hspl
So I have 3.03 SPL, 2.15 radio and 3.14 ROM. Can I run Android from my SD card without flashing anything?
Yes, definitely. I have SPL3.03, flashed the stock ROM (keeping the radio) to Dexter and installed MDJ Androoid builds. I guess you could skip the flashing with Custom ROM and install Android on the stock or flash to any ROM compatible with your radio. Look here to see how to flash w/o HSPL. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
I confirm
I tried to install Android but when I run it, a little bit of text appears for a couple of seconds and then it goes to the white htc screen and wont boot even after 40 minutes of waiting.
Do you have any idea why it doesnt boot please?
Did you try to format your µSD card? Probably you'll need to flash your ROM anyway, but flashing without HSPL do not void your garanty and do not cause problems with SPL3.03 RAM.
Try to hard reset your phone, format SD card and try again.
i read on some topics that hspl doesn't go well with stock roms 3.14 for example there is a 50mb program memory limit (is it ram or storage limit?), i wanted to get more advice on the matter because i read many opposite info about hspl on the forum, is it safe to use hspl3 to flash 3.14 stock roms? in particular this rom: RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship this was released in december
What a coincidence, I was about to ask the same question, although I'm only using HSPL2.
So, is it ok to install a 3.14 stock ROM with HSPL2/3 still installed? Or do we have to flash back the original SPL first?
Remove HSPL, then if allowed you can install 3.14 ROM. If you are not allowed this ROM, then you need to use the GoldCard method, then install the 3.14 ROM.
Installing 3.14 ROM when HSPL is installed will make you phone prone to be unstable and have have a major reduction in RAM - So don't do it.
Ok thanks for the info fred_up. One other question, after I put the original SPL back, can I flash stock 3.14 over the USB cable? I did that with 1.43 -> 1.66, so I', assuming I can still do that?
ram loss is possible with hspl3 flashing rom 3.14! i had more free ram on my x1
can anyone confirm if the only solutions are the goldcard or flashing the rom for which your device is made??

If you downloaded the 3.14 ROM from HTC with your phone's serial number, then HTC are saying that you are entitled to upgrade to that ROM.

At this moment, if you are not entitled to flash the 3.14 ROM, then the only option is to GoldCard before flashing the 3.14 ROM - remembering to remove HSPL first. Your other options are to run the latest ROM from your Operator or run a custom ROM that isn't based upon the 3.14 ROM.
Is it OK to install a stock 3.14 ROM optop of HSPL via SDCard? Won't this erase HSPL?
can you confirm that using a goldcard automatically erases hspl? i think yes

yes it will erase hspl but becareful because if the rom is not the correct one for your device it will still fail to install BUT hspl will have allowed the spl to update to 3.03.0000 andyou will get exclamation mark screen and phone won't boot. in this case you will only get it working again by flashing an older correct stock rom.

yes, because the spl is updated to 3.03.0000 and
it can only do that by overwriting the spl, and hence hspl is gone.
use sspl
sspl is only any use if you already have a working 3.14 rom on your phone with spl 3.03.0000.
you cant run 3.14 on any other spl, not just hspl, so whilst SSPL would flash the 3.14 rom (for example from a current 1.66 rom) it would still have the memory issue because the spl would return to 1.66.0000 after the first restart, and the memory glitch would be there.

Hi everyone!
Been surfing the web and xda for solutions to this for 5 hours straight and I can't find anything that helps me with my problem. Can't find a thread about it either, so I hope you guys can help me.
So I got my HD2, trying to run Android on it via NAND, but first off I'm not able to use MAGLDR; When the HTC-screen with the progress bar comes up, but just locks up on 0%.
I google it, and look it up here, seems i need to run HardSPL and get a new to get this badboy to work, but when i try running that, i get the error message "Bad spl".
Now where do i go from here? Did i miss something when looking for the info?
If anyone has a solution to my problem, I would be thrilled.
And if you need any info, just post and i'll provide whatever info you need!
Thanks in advance!
I've got the same problem. Already got the original 3.14 WM rom and darkstone froyo superram installed.
Today I wanted to flash to a NAND rom, but had the same problem as you. Could have something to do with HardSPL not flashing the stock 3.03 SPL.
I'm also waiting for help
Hello,
I also ran into the same problems as you guys. It very important that you flash a rom that a HASPL lower then version 3. I notice that 3.14 stock rom comes with version 3.xxx of HASPL what made it impossible to flash to 2.08 HASPL what is also needed for MAGLDR 1.11.
So I flashed a the 1.66 stock rom version from my SD card then there was an older HASPL present on my hd2. So far, so good. Then i flashed to MAGLDR 1.11. But my hd2 won't start up anymore. Just the white HTC screen. The reason was that my radio version wasn't the right one. It has to end on x.50 and not x.51. So I flashed a x.50 version of the radio. Then I flashed MAGLDR and I was on my way again for android nand flash.
Hope this helps ...
Grtz
Check your radio version
I have the same problem like you,
I resolve the problem when I change the radio version to Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
P.S. When you flash with some old official ROM you also change radio ROM
now everything work
If you have SPL 3.03, you cannot flash HSPL 2.08 directly into it. It will not work.
So if you have a HD2 device with 3.14 HTC HD2 official firmware, you will have SPL 3.03.
You must downgrade your SPL 3.03 to SPL 2.xx or SPL 1.xx before HSPL 2.08 can be installed.
US T-MOBILE HD2 (1024MB ROM)
You need to find 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE from T-MOBILE website.
You cannot use 3.14.531.1, which is the thing that gave the SPL 3.13 in the first place.
You need to extract from the EXE file using 7-ZIP or WinRAR RUU_signed.nbh, and rename RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh and put it on a FAT32 MicroSD card, then turn off your device, hold volume button, then turn on the device.
PRAY.
HTC HD2 (512MB ROM)
You guys are lucky.
Goto HTC's website, choose the country where your phone is from.
Download 2.xx or 1.xx version of the official ROM
Extract RUU_signed.nbh and rename it to leoimg.nbh, then copy to FAT32 MicroSD Card.
Turn off the device, hold volume button, then turn on the device.
After the SPL is no longer 3.13, use HSPL3_PK and update to HSPL 2.08
Remember to flash your radio to 2.15.50.14.
