HD2 HSPL2 Problem!!!

Hi Guys,
i have LEO SPL-1.66.0000
i am using HSPL2 and give me this Error:
Can anyone tell me why?? the phone works fine. oh its Telstra Next G Australia.
cheers

Why HSPL2? Try to use HSPL!

HSPL2 is better than HSPL its easier to use, works with spl1.66 and can be removed
Not certain what's causing that issue, can we see a pic of your bootloader (tricolour) screen ?

which device u have? (maybe it's T-Mobile 1024LEO?)
Run SPL and write here your ModelID (something like "PB811000").

I'm using right now Topix 1.5.6 Do I need to update HSPL to version 2. Is there any benefits?

Friend of mine had a phone with spl1.66. I just used an old rom to get the spl to 1.42 then just installed HSPL.
Works just fine, no issues whatsoever. Don't think HSPL2 has more benefits. Either way your phone is unlocked and if you mess up a rom flash, just use your sd-card to flash it anyway with hspl. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issue actually - identical error as well and a AUS Delivered HD2 (same as the OP has)
Phone is synced ok with WMDC 6.1

I also experienced the same. But I solved it.
You can try the following (use Window XP SP3):
-unplug the usb connection
-reconnect, wait and see whether there is a pop up about the usb driver installation.
-there was a message asking whether to continue the installation, and just click yes
-at your device, choose connect using USB (instead of Active sync)
-then run HSPL2.exe
-choose 1.66 HSPL
-wait and you will see at your device screen "we hacked it"
-wait until finish, and this is very important, unplug your device before it boots, so it will not boot while the usb connected to your computer, if you are happened to boot while connected to usb, it will start syncing, and this will reflash your HSPL back to your stock SPL. I dont know why, but it was happened to my device.
Cheers

I'm now have 2.08 HSPL ...

Already a HSPL/HSPL2 thread. Why not post in there? Thread closed

HI,
I used the HSPL2_1024, selected the 2.0.0.8
After 10 min, of using Energy.Leo.23549.Sense2.5_TMobile_USA.Mar.26
I got an error, I recovered, but wondering what happened??

Just try it again. Make sure your drivers are all complete from Windows Vista or 7. Make sure you are running 6.1 Windows Mobile Device Center.
I am sure you have done this but make sure:
Plug in your phone make sure the drivers are good with Active Sync on.
When you get into HSPL2_1024 and let it run your device will be found again in USB mode. Just to make sure the drivers are loaded correctly.
Flash - reboot and then flash the Energy or whatever USTMO compatible cooked ROM you like. I think there are only 2/3 that work with the ROM 2.08
Sometimes it just takes retracing your steps to get it to work right.
good luck.

I didn't want to make a new thread for this and clutter up the board, I'm kind of a noob to XDA you see. I just bought a Tmobile HD2 and downloaded and applied the HSPL linked in this thread, it all worked fine. My problem is: Will installing the 2.09.51.03 radio on my tmous HD2 hurt it? Was the 2.09 radio meant for the htc hd2 which has a different radio?
My main goal is to get Artemis rom on it.
Thanks for your time.

The .51 radios are meant for the European spec and will not work on a TMOUS based rom AFAIK.

try different usb ports and remember to right click 1024 and 'run as administrator'

After using the HardSPL I could not get my phone to sync either... So Just put your phone into bootloader mode. Turn off phone, power button, volume down hold till tri color screen comes up. Then just run the RUU an it will flash your phone. Only NRGZ rom works.

Would anyone happen to have a mirror to this link, or could some kind soul possibly upload it? This one seems to be broken. It would be greatly appreciated.
Update...I found it.

yeah notinh still not working ive tryed all ports, im running windows 7 64bit.

I'm recieving the same error. Windows 7 x64, MDC is latest 6.1. Tried from both laptop (Win7 x64) and desktop (Win7 x64). Phone goes into Tri color screen, says "USB" at the bottom. Windows notes new driver, updates, then HSPL2 for 1024 Leo gives "Critical Error" and bombs out. Bummer
UPDATE: Fixed it. Did a hard reset on the phone, tried again, and now HSPL flashed successfully. Now, on to the cooked ROMs

Worked for me on win 7 x64... No issue with HSPL2_1024_RUN file I got by browsing this site... It did freeze on me during RUU, but I just rebooted and ran it as admin whilst not touching any other program in windows until it was done and it worked.

I believe you are to choose 2.08 to install HSPL
And you choose 2.08.0000 when you want to uninstall HSPL, for warranty and such.

[Q] Can't change SPL

OK, please try to help me.
I'm having trouble in changing the SPL in my Leo.
I have installed WRONGLY SPL 2.08 instead of HSPL 2.08 by DFT HSPL3
Since this made me unable to install MAGLDR, i tried idiotic idea to install the newest stocking ROM from htc site (Serial confirmed) with htc installer from windows.
Right now, i have working HTC with details as below:
ROM: 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE
RADIO: 2.15.50.14
SN: HT03DNW00564
When i get into bootloader, there is:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
So, time for the problem:
Right now, i can't load anything to my device. When i put LEOIMG onto SDCard, device freezes on white screen with "Loading". I have tried stock roms: 1.48.479.1; 3.14.479.2(same as installed); 1.48.405.2
When i try to load another SPL (or HSPL) from DFT HSPL4 device reboots, goes to bootloader and nothing happens. DFT HSPL just shows progres bar moving and nothing happens (i have waited 20 mins).
I have no more ideas anymore, what can i do. Hopefully Phone works, and those not have any Cooked ROM on it, but i don't wont to use this ROM
PLEASE, try to help...
PS. I have tried different USB Ports, i have installed fresh Windows (really). I'm using XP SP3. Battery is at 100%.

Try running a task 29 and then run the HSPL again and install the 2.08 HSPL. Then flash MAGLDR then the ROM you want.
Edit: Sorry I momentarly forgot you have to have HSPL to do a task 29. Do this make sure your phone is in bootloader and plug it into the computer via USB cable and then wait until it says USB at yhe bottom in the white. Then and only then run the DFT HSPL again.

With Task29 also nothing happens. Same as with ROMS and HSPL, After synchro in ActiveSync, i have run TASK29, then my Leo goes into Bootloader and nothing happend. On Windows screen i have 0% progress bar, on HTC HD2 i see bootloader with USB status.
ERROR 302
EDIT: After clicking through recovery steps, Leo turned to showing Progres bar, but also stops at 0%.

Just making sure: did you try to flash those stock roms over USB? Stock SPL's don't have the same protection that HSPL has, and can be overwritten by flashing over USB just fine.
Also: until you're sure you can reflash at least something, it might be better to stay away from task29

I tried also by USB (all three), and still the same. Progress bar on PC and Phone shows 0% and after some time, Installer shows ERROR about connection. ERROR302 i think.
PS. I really start to think i'm missing some detail. ROM works, everything works excluding boot loader. For me, it looks like bootloader is broken somehow, and i don't have idea how to make it work properly.

Hmm... If you can't get your phone to flash anything over either USB or SD, it does sound like your bootloader might be corrupted or something. That 302 error also doesn't sound good.
I guess if you have them you could try flashing using:
- a different pc/laptop
- a different SD card (perhaps a goldcard?)
*Probably* won't help, but won't make things worse either.

Ok, for today i have enough. I will try tomorrow with another PC.
SD Cards i already tried three of them.

Mate, you said that you flashed stock rom v.3.14.xxx but you also said that the SPL 2.08.
I m quite confused, usually the stock rom v.3.14 contains SPL 3.03 (not 2.08). So, I m curious what version of your hd2, is it TMOUS?
Have you tried a HARD RESET?
Try HR and see whether your hd2 can pass that.
If succeded, you can retry flashing HSPL over usb (dont forget to turn off antivirus, firewall, internet on your pc) or else retry flashing via micro sd flashing (use 2,4 or 8 gb reformated micro sd)
hope you can succeed.
good luck

I have already tried to start hspl4 without running WinMo, same effect. In WinXP Bootloader still displays on the Phone, and in DFT HSPL progres bar just bounce from left to right.
In Vista DFT HSPL returns critical error about connection.
About ROMS, 3.14 is East Europe (downloaded from HTC after checking serial) and 1.48 is WWE, also checked with serial from HTC site.
I have tried 1.48 EE since somewhere i have read, taht i have to get rom with the same number on the end, as installed (ie. 3.14.479."2")
PS. I can't tconnect to Mobile Center is Vista. With ActiveSync on WinXP there are no problems.

My Phone is East Europe WWE (afaik).
I have installed SPL 2.08 onto HSPL 1.6 with DFT HSPL3.
Then i have installed 3.14 by USB. I don't know, why i still have SPL2.08 if you say i should't.
HR works fine.
In a minute i will check HSPL with internet turned off.
How to flash HSPL via microSD ?

Doesn't matter, still right click and run as admin, always put phone in bootloader yourself before starting to flash, if it fails just run hspl.exe again. Try all USB ports.
No, you can't apply hspl from SD card.

PROBLEM SOLVED
I needed to make another admin account in WinXP. And then use it by Run As (then choose this new account).
I don't know why it works like that, but it worked.

Just to give all informations.
After more testing, i detected my Computer problem. My USB ports were not working properly, and update of Motherboard BIOS helped (ASUS P7P55D). So, i don't know what was the exact issue of problems.

[Q] Help Upgrading My Rom

Can anyone help me please... I'm trying to upgrade the rom to the latest HTC HD2 rom for O2. I connect the phone via USB, sync it and then run the RUU program from HTCs website. The phone starts the process and boots the phone to the 4 colour screen and then to the black HTC progress screen and then it hangs on 0% for a few minutes until the utility finally tells me its lost connection with the phone (Error 262). I've done soft resets and hard resets. Disabled firewalls. Tried on another machine. Even ran the utility under XP SP3 compatibility. Still no joy. Can anyone help?? Thanks

Sounds like you might have a bad USB cable or that you are having timing out problems. First forget about the ActiveSync. All ActiveSynce does is help insure hour HD2 is ready to be flash by checking the battery level and such. Power your HD2 on but hold the volume down button down while powering on. When you see the tri color bootloader screen connect hour USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then right click the RUU of the ROM and select run as administrator. If this still does not work I would try another USB cable.

could it have anything to do with the phone being locked to O2... its the latest ROM for O2 that I'm trying to install.

hmm....if you are trying to flash stock rom which is not intended for your device, you need HSPL or Gold card.
There are threads in Windows Mobile 6.5 section that will guide you on installing HSPL or making a Gold Card.

Well here's the thing, my phone is locked to O2. I'm trying to install the latest ROM from HTCs website for O2 customers. For the life of me I cant get it to install. I did install HSPL a few months ago when I tried to run Android from the SD card. That didnt work either. Like I say, I've done a hard reset. Could the HSPL thing be causing an issue. How do I get rid of it.
I hate being a noob sometimes!!

To get rid of HSPL you just have to run the HSPL Utility avain and choose the correct SPL version for your ROM when it asks what version you want to flash. Remember HSPL has the stock SPL versions to, click on the link in my sig to download HSPL 4. Hint thecstock SPL versions all have four zeros at fhe end and the HSPL version do not.
You said you are getting error 262, this usually means you don't have the right SPL or HSPL one of the two atleast that is if I remember correctly. What ROM are you trying to flash and what does it say in bootloader right now?

Hi... Been away so only just got this reply.
The rom I'm trying to install is a stock rom update from the HTC website:
O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
For the record, my phone is an O2 phone.
As for Bootloader? It currently says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Hope that helps. Really bugging the arse off me this is.

get hspl2,
put phone into bootloader manually first and connect usb lead
(thats why it was timing out on you ((error 262)) because the connection takes too long to reconnect when it reboots from winmo into bootloader, , if you do it yourself first, that solves this error 99% of the time.)
when 'serial' changes to 'usb' run hspl2, choose 1.66.0000 (i recommend this because 2.08.0000, whilst stock, is a tmous stock, so 'may' give problems, , totally unconfirmed, but i had issues recently removing android/magldr whilst spl was 2.08.0000, i switched to 1.66.0000 and it worked straight away, i have a slight hunch that spl 2 doesnt like to be downgraded in some circumstances, , if you preffer you could use hspl4 and go straight for 3.03.0000, since that is whjat your 3.14 rom will install anyway when you flash it)
when it reboots saying its done, immediately hold voldown to re-enter bootloader
when serial changes to usb, run your 3.14.exe

Ignore that..
Mate - you're a genius. Followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Cheers pal. You saved my brain

Erm, not sure how much more basic i can make it. (Ignore my descriptions, just follow the steps)
Power off, hold voldown,power on keeping voldown held,, see multi striped coloured screen, that's bootloader, you can flash from this screen.
First you should try without bothering to change the spl.
Enter bootloader and connect USB, run the 3.14 you downloaded. That's it.
If it doesn't work, try changing spl as in my previous post by entering bootloader, and instead of running the 3.14 you run hspl instead.
As for writing a guide, you already read the various "how to flash.." guides (there are several) and watched the (also several) YouTube guides before you even started this thread,,, didn't you? Didn't you?? If not then shame on you!
Post back and ill check tomorrow.

HD2 kinda broken what can i do?

Hey XDA
Hope someone out there have got some good advice. We have some HD2s where i work and i have been sent one that is acting kinda weird.
I simply can not get it to flash a rom (_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_DAN_3.14.403.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship) - we only use normal HTC roms. When i try to flash it nothing happens, it boots into the bootloader and just sits there at 0% until i disconnect the cable, if i dont it will sit there untill it runs out of battery. Tried a few times now and same result.
i have also just tried a restore, to see if its the internal flash rom that is broken and the restore also fails. My own HD2 restores in like a few seconds but this one just sits there again, like when i try to flash a rom to it.
So is it totally dead or is there something i should try?

Have you tried to use task29 (via computer) , then flash (via nbh) the htc rom?

hmm just tried task29 and it did nothing, it booted the phone to the bootloader but no progress screen did show up. Tried it again and the phone just shut off again after showing the bootloader for a few seconds.
beginning to think this phone is toast.
Gonna try a HSPL update later and just flash a non HTC rom to see if that works.

HSPL 2.08 & reflash original HTC ROM via PC USB.
Do you get any error codes from the flash utility ?
could be CID related but you should see error code.

Yes, trying it with HSPL seems like a good idea to me, too.
Because then you can also try other ROMs.

will try this stuff on monday - i just cba to do more work today
thx for the advice

Build a gold-card and flash from the SD slot. If that doesn't work, put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, boot the phone and try flashing again immediately in it's chilled state. If it get's ANY further, you have a bad overheating NAND and need a new main board.

got HSPL2.08 flashed and a Dutty 3.14 rom but phone refuses to reboot sometimes and boot just shows the white HTC background and does not show the radio/os versions in the bottom. So i am just gonna toss this one out, since its can not be serviced (supplier has gone bust).
But still havn't gotten any error codes from the phone or flash programs, other then "USB connection failed". So i think its nand is kinda broken now.

first, you can't run 3.14 roms on anything except spl 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl
Second it isn't booting because it almost certainly needs an updated radio, 2.15.50 for instance. You probably still have a 2.xx.51 from the original stock, and so wont show rgd screen till you change radio, won't run smoothly till you correct the spl with hspl4

Put phone into bootloader manually, don't use front mounted USB ports, be sure and update win mo dev center to latest ver ..... all the usual USB connection error advice. Trying another PC with a different windows variant often helps if its available.

hmm you sure? The dutty download page says -
Things to Know how about my ROMs:
* Radio 2.15 Recommended
* HSPL 2.08 Recommended
* HSPL 3.03 doesn't support 576 RAM enabled
But i'll try to flash a 3.03HSPL and find out what happens. I did flash 2.15.50.14 radio before i flashed the Dutty rom. But gonna give it one last try.

Have tried two pc's now, both running Win7 32bit - its all we have now.

Ahhh gitcha, then the dutty rom mustnt be 100% 3.14 rom (I didn't check) it must use a 2.x base to enable 576ram.
In which case, if stock roms don't flash but custom did, it could be stuck radio syndrome, which you can test for with (correct, get it using your serial from HTC.com) stock rom flash from sd card (4gb or smaller, fat32). Look out for "rsa radio fail" or similar on screen.
Edit, oh you said you flashed a radio, and that went ok?

yeah HSPL2.08, HSPL3.03 and Radio is flashing just fine. The roms i have tried also flashes perfect its just will not boot afterwards. I can usually do a hardreset on it and it will boot one time. If you then shut it off and try to turn it on again it fails with the white HTC screen again.
I am toally clueless on what is wrong with it, so gonna try to figure out if we have some kind of warrenty left on it and get it switched over to another one.
