Issues with flashing HSPL on my Leo

Hi,
I wanted to port Android on my Leo and I have issues with flashing the HSPL first (I was using the Gold Card method to flash new FW so far).
I have downgraded to 1.66 with SPL 1.42, then I tried to HSPL my device with using HSPL3_PKG.exe from XDA. When I start the .exe the phone goes into Bootloader showing first Serial, then USB(I installed the HTC USB drivers per installing HTC Sync), the program allows me to flash 2.08 HSPL and then the flash starts as the status bar moves from left to right constantly but nothing happens on the device, even not after 10 Minutes, I pull off my Leo and it boots fine but no HSPL flash, I am still on SPL 1.42. What am I doing wrong? (I am using Parallels on a MAC btw).
Any comments?
Thanks

Any able to help?

I recommend upgrading your SPL to 2.08 as I have flashed HSPL 2.08 and haven't had any problems whatsoever in the past 4-5 months of having this phone. First time installation worked like a charm

Hi
thanks, I read trough all this, and tried to work with all three HSPL Versions, but I still don't get it work...
I just tried to run HSPL3_PKG.exe, when I choose SPL 2.08.0000 and run it, the program starts, I choose SPL 2.08.000 and then it starts, the bar moves from left to right, but nothing happens on the phone...

Got it to work finally! It just wouldn't work on my Windows XP via Paralells on a MAC, I used a Windows 7 Machine, all good now, my Leo is HSPL 2.08 and got a NAND Android OS on it...finally a phone that one can use now

MAGLDR Problems

Ok i have t-mobile UK with the correct Radio and i installed HSPL4 and it said that we have hacked it, so i assume thats working, when i run romupdate from magldr it is trying to change it from 3 something down to 2 something. i get the grey box saying updating it never gets passed 0%. SPL is 3.03.000 which i selected the correct bit when installing HSPL4

Android requires 2.08 HSPL on the HD2...so in HSPL4 choose the 2.08 HSPL

I have no sim card in the phone right now, but that surely shouldnt be an issue? when i start up the phone it says i am running
r 2.15.50.14
g 15.42.50.11u
d 3.14.04666

So are u saying i was not meant to install hspl4?

Someone please confirm but do i now have to get rid of HSPL4 downgrade my rom thus downgrading the spl then install appriopriate HSPL for that rom? if so what rom should i downgrade to?

It depends on what SPL/HSPL was on your HD2. If it was already HSPL 2.08, then it was OK for Magldr/Android.
Check the red lines in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5279236&postcount=4
So you have to run HSPL4 again, choose HSPL2.08, and then you can flash magldr...

I havnt changed that it came with 3.03.000

my spl is 3.03.000 so surely i cant choose that hspl?

Ok i am abit confused, but i have already installed hspl4, can i install it again and choose a different spl?

what i am asking is i have put hspl4 and choosen 3.03.000 can i now do the same process again and choose 2.8 or do i need to delete the hspl4 first?

i think you can choose HSPL2.08, but i never tried from SPL 3.03 to HSPL 2.08 directly...give it a try

can i run hspl again or do i have to delete it then instal it again?

That's a good question. Check this/ask this in the HSPL thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5279236#post5279236

Ok i ran it again and it worked, now when trying to install MAGLDR i get error 260.

Sorted it. So even if you have HSPL installed and a higher SPL you can run HSPL again without installing as long as its the same version and change it to a lower HSPL like 2.8

How do i downgrade spl 3.03 to 2.08?

Hello XDA.
as you can see iam new to the forum. and i have been trying some basic SD roms. and kinda found out that i realy liked the miui roms.
So i was about to try to install [ROM] HTC HD2 Leo MIUI.us Presents MIUI 1.7.15 Pure English [AOSP]
But then i noticed in the Unlocking HD2 step that my phone isnt unlocked and its also running spl 3.03.
So what i need help with is.
how do i downgrade to 2.08? (witch is needed in the next step) so i can continue the steps...
my phone is a european htc hd2 (norway) and is still running stock wm 6.5.
All help appreasiated.

Bootloader
Hspl4
Choose 2.08.hspl

thanks for the respond.
but would it be possible to be litle more detailed?
edit:
When you say bootloader i assume you refering to MAGLDR...

No,bootloader is bootloader,magldr is magldr. Plenty of stickies hand holding you through all this,and countless hundreds single threads explaining it.

Download HSPL 4. Connect phone to PC via ActiveSync. Run HSPL4 on PC and choose HSPL 2.08. Wait a few seconds. Should see 'We Hacked it!' on phone. You can now go ahead and (try) to install android following the other steps.

worked like a a sharm.
think i touth this was way more advanced so. my head wasnt sett it was this easy to understand. .

Mate. Can i do this same step for my T-Mobile UK HTC HD2. Sorry I am total noob. I got lost in Download HPSL 4 and ActiveSync.

forget activesync, ,
get hspl4 (see my sig)
put phone in bootloader
connect usb
when 'serial' becomes 'usb' run hspl4
choose desired target spl/hspl
go
done.

Yeah as Samsamuel said, ActiveSync is not really necessary it's just easier for most people to understand.
Before doing this I would recommend updating your ROM to the latest official stock ROM 3.14 (go to the settings and then software info to see this if my memory serves me correctly, haven't used WinMo in ages ) as this will have the latest radio and will save you from having to reflash it later.
Download HSPL4 package (just see samsamuel's link in his sig), turn the phone off then boot into bootloader by holding power and volume down buttons. Connect phone to PC via USB, run the HSPL installer, select HSPL 2.08 (make sure it's HSPL, not SPL, SPL 2.08 won't do any damage, but it won't help either ) and viola, it will be installed after a few seconds

i have spl 1.67 how to upgrade or downgrade?

[Q] Problem staying connected NAND while magldr downgrading to 2.0

hi all,
we are trying to put android on a HD2 but i work work because we get disconnected from the moment i start downgrading the phone to 2.0.
anyone got a clue to fix this lil problem ?
regards Remon and Teymur

i THINK what you mean is downgrading to spl 2.0??? if i'm correct what you want to downgrade to is actually Hspl 2.08 (if on a USA branded HD2 with 1024 nand and red/green call/end buttons) CHANGING TO HSPL MUST BE DONE FIRST (only the radio can be flashed before)
i can't remember what Hspl is for the EU Leo ... Hspl 3.x ... i believe.
hope i helped. cheers

we are running spl 3.03.0000 now and we need to get it to hspl 2.08 i believe in order to do magldr so we can actually install android on it.
but the usb disconnects we we try magldr to get it to hspl 2.08,
so we probably need an alternative way.
got any clues ?

you need to flash hspl before magldr via bootloader (tri-color screen) then flash mad, etc

Phone off
Into bootloader
Connect USB
run Hspl4 ... make sure you choose 2.08.hspl only
When it reboots go straight back into bootloader
USB
Run magldr installer (no need to change radio if you were running 3.14 rom cos radio will already be fine (((previous post that said radio can be flashed without hspl is wrong)))
When it reboots it will start magldr menu
Choose USB flasher
Use nand toolkit to apply partitioning your target rom requires-this step will also apply cwm (clockwork)
Restart into magldr, option 8 ad recovery
In cwm recovery choose advanced partition SD card (assuming you want an ext partition to increase internal storage,)
Back into cwm mounts and storage, mount SD card, copy across the new rom.zip
In cwm choose flash zip from SD
That's it.

oh, thanks sam. i wasnt sure if anything could be flashed before or not. i knew radio had something special about when it can be flashed, like it needed to be flashed first (if need be) right?

if you were starting from stock, the radio would either be the second or third thing you flashed, , HSPL first, then magldr and radio in either order.
magldr simply wont start 'till the radio (and hspl) are correct.

[Q] MAGLDR stuck

Hello,
there are a lot of similar topic but none of them answered my question.
General situation looks like this:
after flashing with MAGLDR device is stuck on htc splash screen and doesn't respond to any button
What was already done:
- initially, device had factory 3.14.x WWE ROM with 2.15.50.14 radio. SPL was changed with DFT tool to HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR was flashed with no problems (tried it few times)
Since that didn't worked, this is what I did:
- I recall reading that if someone has 3.14.x ROM then he/she must downgrade to ROM with 1.66.x or 1.72.xx. So I did that with factory ROM, (what struct me is that the SPL wasn't changed), flashed 2.15.50.14 radio, tried MAGLDR 1.13 once again. That didn't work
- since, SPL wasn't changed with official ROM I thought this is the issue here, so I've change it to SPL 3.03 back again and flashed 1.66.x official ROM. Flash procedure did change to SPL 1.42. I changed it to 2.08HSPL with DMT tool once again, 2.15.50.14 radio was flashed, then MAGLDR. It also gets stuck on splash screen.
- Next I've read that something called Task29 will probably fix my issue. So.. I've flashed with original 3.14.x ROM and then went with the process once again but I've run Task29 tool between changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 and flashing MAGLDR. That didn't work either
Additional observations:
- I've changed HSPL 2.08 to SPL 2.08, after that running any flash procedure (MAGLDR or official ROM), will effect with 0% progress
- changing to SPL 3.03 will cure above (at least for official ROM)
- in RUU tool the previous version is never seen (on the screen when you confirm update)
Every procedure was done according to newbie guides available on this forum, I've experience with flashing other OS on couple of HD2 devices, but that is the first one that gives me a hard time.
Any suggestion what I should do next?

forget about continually flashing various stock roms, its not necessary.
forget what's gone before, do this and report back.
Phone into bootloader
connect usb, When 'serial' becomes 'usb' continue.
run hspl4 and choose 2.08.hspl
when it completes go immediately back into bootloader
flash magldr
straight back into bootloader
flash radio 2.15.50
let the phone restart.
report back.

if what the friend above suggested doesnt work, then give us the details about your device. i have a Tmous and im in Europe and went through hell until i got it right...if you do it then flashing the rom you want is a piece of cake!

Did that, phone had initially SPL 1.42 and 1.66.x ROM. I didn't let him boot between steps, just went to bootloader each time... and I'm still stuck at splash screen with no response to any key.

that behavour is expected when either spl ISN'T 2.08.hspl and/or radio isn't correct. The only other reason for magldr not showing up must be a faulty device.

Well... I can flash it with every HTC official ROM, and it works, calls can be made, wifi works fine, no spontaneous reboots or freezes...

Made two other observations:
1. On the device that is stuck on splash screen there is an additional bar in boot loader saying "Security unlocked", just like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501745
2. I've started to look at different boot loader screens across the net, and it seems that majority of them has HX-BC (mine has different) version after the board PB81100 name. I've also compared bootloader screen after changing SPL to HSPL 2.08 on two different devices. The values before and after CotullaHSPL were different.
What should I do now? Searching for a method to remove that "Security unlocked" string or give up since the version of my board won't be able to run MAGLDR?
My device is not TMOUS, it is 512MB device.
Edit: after some research I think that my device has NAND-Flash ROM from Samsung not Hynix, so different flash algorithm should be used. I'm now going for a low-level research. If that is the case, than I think MAGLDR needs version 1.14 ... will report later.
