Hi guys... i am in the process of installing hardspl on my phone...do i need to flash a new radio aswell????...i currently have
Rom version 3.14.206.1
Radio version 2.15.50.14
spl-3.03.0000
also when i install hard spl do i need to uninstall the current spl or does it get overwritten?????
no. run hspl4, choose 2,08,hspl, all ready for droid. (unless u are wanting to run sd card android, in which case you dont need hspl, only for changing the winmo rom, radio is still fine)
Hi...yes i am wanting to run android from sd card...you said in that case i wont need hard spl??...I am still unable to boot android from sd card... i thought i HAD to have hard spl??
i installed a rom called mccm hd v6..after selecting clrad and hacket i get a white splash screen with green htc logo...nothings happening after that...i also have the latest windows rom aswell...my spl is 3.003...please help guys!!!
no, only for nand android. sd android is running on top of winmo, so doesnt care about the spl.
However, ive never run sd android, im just telling you what i 'think' to be true, it wont hurt to try 2.08.hspl, BUT, since you have a regular hd2, (3.14.206.1 is o2, i think?) then setting 2.08.hspl will cause the 3.14 winmo rom to stop working properly, become unstable and report only 50 or so meg free ram, , , so if you DO want to try setting hspl, you will need to change winmo roms too. (Another reason i believe you can run sd android without 2.08.hspl is because i know people run it alongside 3.14 roms which require 3.03 spl's )
If i were you, id consider looking into the problem android is throwing, , some take aaaaaaaages first boot, for instance, when they build teh data file, and i do mean aaaaages, tens of minutes for some roms,
ok...so how come i am unable to boot to the new android rom?...i did manage to install gingerbread by tytung a couple of weeks ago...was having problems with that...after i uninstalled it i can no longer re-install it!!!!...i have done 2 fresh installs but its not booting it up anymore...strange...
dunno, sorry, i never got sd android to boot either, tried on maybe a dozen different occasions, a few hours each time,, and only got it to work once, and it caused me to hard reset next time i booted, cos winmo wouldnt boot, so i left it alone till nand came along. (And at that time i would have been running 2.08.hspl too,,, so it wasnt that)
perhaps you have a leftover data folder or summin, from the old instal on your sd card? i know on nand builds if you dont clear out the data from the old one it can cause failed boots.
i have formatted the sd card a good few times!...dont know what it could be then....
DO NOT USE LAST 24MB IN MAGLDR!!!
You will brick your phone next time you will flash something through bootloader (like Task29, Radio flashing, etc etc)
I've seen few bricks in the forum, today an other one!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18058435
From other sources:
“UseLast24NAND.” – Allows you to use the last 24 MB of NAND. EXPERIMENTAL. But if you update the RUU MAGLDR or press hard reset WM65. you'll lose is 24 megabytes of data. This means that the data is corrupted or the device will not run anymore. The default is disabled.
if we have used it what do we do?? I enabled it every time before i flashed v2
I've flashed WP7 about 3-4 times now, going to WM and Android and back to WP7. I use the last 24MB and Task29 every time, I've not had any bricks so far...
i don't know how to disable it, and i'm not saying that you will brick with 100% of possibility, i'm saying that SPL manage this zone of Nand, and messing with SPL space is never a good idea! Last 24mb nand are not necessary to flash Mango! There is no real advantage using them, we shouldn't risk for no reason!

Cotulla wrote that quote. Cotulla wrote magldr. Cotulla was instrumental in bringing us this ROM in collaboration with Yuki and XBmod etc. I am sure he knows what he is doing.
I agree that uninstallation instructions should be put in the first post (including unlock sd card with storagelock).
And thanks for bringing this up
Of course, infact Cotulla, Yuki and XBmod never said to use last 24mb

----How to Update: ----
-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely
-Format your SD card too
-Flash HD2-First-splash
-Flash magldr 1.13
-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services
-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services
-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date.
-Install the lastest version of zune client.
- Run the zune update process like a real WP7 device & install build 7008,7392.
- Wait for futur official updates or continue updating using these ways behind.

I think the bold bit you quoted does not mean "you might brick your phone", it means the data or part of a ROM which you have put there, may be overwritten by updating RUU or doing a WM6.5 hard reset.
possible to disable??
if i have rolled back to wm6.5 (custom rom ) does it gets locked again??
or once enbled it will remain enabled throughout the life of htc hd2

when you flash WM6.5 or use Task24 to format NAND, UseLast24NAND not active anymore... if you want proof just try flash WP7 without enabling it...
btw... in more than year because testing purposes i flashed maybe hundred times WP7 and many times do Task29 and after that UseLast24NAND and no problems or less memory... no need for panic.... this topic is old...
Good day to all esp. to the masters of XDA,
First off, I'd like to apologize if there's already a thread like this or a kinda sorta thread like this. I've tried searching but haven't found answers really pertaining to my inquiry. If you do know a thread please point me to it, sorry for the trouble.
On to my question: I have an HD2 TMOUS with stock rom ver. 2.10.xxx, I would like to upgrade to stock rom ver. 3.14.xxx. I would like to know if I could upgrade directly to 3.14.xxx or do I have to go through upgrading to the versions in the middle of 2.10.xxx and 3.14.xxx before going to 3.14.xxx.
Currently I have SPL-3.03.0000 which I've installed using HSPL4. Do I have to uninstall this and go back to 1.66?
Hey ralfkof119, this topic have been discussed several times. Since I'm in a good mood today I will point you out to the right direction. Yes you can download directly from 2.10.xxx to 3.14.531.1
1) http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/DeviceDownloads.aspx?pid=leo2
2) type in your 15 digit IMEI number then press SUBMIT.
3) download the file to your desktop.
4) connect your phone to the computer and let it synchronized
5) backup all your personal information because it will factory reset your phone.
6) double Tap on the file you just downloaded follow the steps and VOILA'.
your phone should bow be Tmobile official 3.14.531.1.
Thanks for the reply. I read in the link you gave me that I can update directly to 3.14 so I tried it but upgrade doesn't go successfully, I always get error 262. So I searched the forums for error 262.
Although there wasn't much about 262, the threads gave me an idea to use task 29 before installing 3.14. So I installed HSPL 3.03 with HSPL 4 and tried task 29 and then run the 3.14 ROM downloaded from your link and it went successfully.
I just want to know if I did it right. Although it is working now, I might've messed something up to cause a major bad later. Please do confirm. Thanks again.
Yes you did it right.
Error 262 is because you were running the update with winmo running, so step 1 when you run the .exe is the phone restarting into bootloader, by which time the USB connection has timed out.
the method you ended up using, you entered bootloader manually and then established the USB connection, so no timeout.
when you received the 262, had you simply run the .exe again without touching the phone (which had already entered bootloader) the flash would have worked.
Summary, when flashing rom/radio/hspl, put the phone into bootloader manually first.
Ohhhh.... Thanks samsamuel. But it is still good practice to do a task 29 just to clean things up ^_^.
I'll be sure to remember that samsamuel.

well, kinda, in theory. i've never done one (well, once, two yrs ago) and ive never had any probs . Flashing a stock rom performs a task 28 anyway, which covers most of the areas a task 29 covers, , plus, there are increasing numbers of people reporting what appear to be bad blocks, especially now we are flashing nand android a lot, and to my mind a task 29 seems like unecessary extra wear and tear on the nand memory.
Im not saying task29 is useless, i'm sure it does help in certain circumstances, , but i'm also sure 99% of task29's that get performed every day are wasted.
'sup guys
I'm attempting to give this HD2 another chance (my dad dumped it for something else, claiming the battery's bad, I fixed that in the mean time) and wish to run android on it.
These forums being great resources for information, I pretty much started right away. But yeah I've gotten myself into a little problem here...
I've lost USB connectivity (won't even show up in the bootloader, 'Serial' is there to stay) after flashing a new radio with CustomRUU.
Device: HTC HD2 (LEO512) - WP 6.5
HSPL: 2.08.HSPL
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 (well, not sure if that even worked out well, I was trying to get that installed. The radio version on boot didn't change to 2.15...)
was planning to:
Bootloader: MAGLDR v1.13
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6
NexusHD2 JB 4.1.2 -> NAND installation
checks done:
usb cable: works fine, phone still charges and the LED still turns on (green)
tried connecting to another computer, but no drivers were found to use the device. There was also a mention of 'Generic RNDIS'
I've tried rebooting, didn't help (didn't expect it to)
lost connection with the WP device center during changes made by customRUU.
have I looked around on the forums? Yeah, quite a lot, but the words 'no connectivity USB bootloader no recognition' in any kind of sentence resulted in the 'project' threads for the radios and flashing services being on top of the results every single time...
factory resetting didn't solve anything
feeling where it went wrong: RUU told me I had an outdated rom (3.whateverblabla), what kind of rom? No idea, but I thought I'd let it update, but I now regret doing that since something might be in bad shape.
Connectivity was lost after the rom update. I could still use WP6.5 if there isn't a fix (no problem running it/booting/...), but I'd love to get android running on this device!
~EDIT: I believe I forgot to go into bootloader when running RUU... :/
Would be really great to hear from you! I haven't looked into the possibilities with SD's, but I've got a 1Gb microSD if you want to fix stuff by using an SD. Thanks in advance
ps: if there's a way to undo the current 'extra' non-WP installations, like a simple reset, that's just fine. I'd rather start over again anyway (;
I got an old HTC HD2 for free to fiddle with. My experience with HTC is years back with the HTC Artemis / P3300 / T-mobile Compact III. In that day I flashed it, used custom roms etc. But... that knowledge sunk away the last 5 years.
So I charged the HD2 and it came alive. To end with a screen: aMAGLDR v1.13 (build feb 1 2011)
This seems to be a bootloader.
With holding down volume and power I get the rainbow screen with
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
CotullaHSPL 0x05 0x40
serial
if I connect to usb to windows 7 it is recognized and serial switches to, of course, usb. Windows 7 installed drivers but I can't assess it.
question
I have no clue if any or what ROM or OS is existing on this phone at this moment. I guess none or it was on a SD card the former owner removed (I don't know the former owner. It arrived via via). Can I find out? I tried several options in the magldr menu but to no avail.
What to do next? I just want to get it running and don't really care at this point for which OS to go.
The jargon is overwhelming. Where to start.
My guess is I have to download a custom rom (but which of the dozens..) and install it on a SD, right? And than use the magldr to load it. I googled my a** off but even for a technical person like me it's overwhelming. Main reason is we are years after te release and I feel like an internet archeolist.
So you have tried options 1 & 3 in magldr menu, and got "wph not installed" and "no boot sources" respectively? If so then you are correct, the phone was using the sdcard to boot a ROM.
I would recommend android, look for a Jellybean, NativeSD ROM. But you will need to partition your card.
If you just want to get it up and running without partitioning, look for an SD build from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev for example https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868306 I have this running on my HD2 at the moment, but looking to put another ROM on it soon since I have to send my main phone off to get fixed
Thx Robbie!
regarding MagLDR

now following your link and trying the SD card ready ROM...
Yeah, it looks like android was installed in the phone's NAND memory.
Yes, install that SD build and just check that everything works ok, data, wifi etc
Sorry to storm the thread.
@Robbie P, Nice to see you still around
I'm trying to do the same with my HD2, it was missing a battery for the last 4 years and I finally got one.
CM11 was installed I guess, not sure which rom, but it has the blue angry android boot image,
it's Installed on the nand , with dataonext.
problem is everytime I reboot, it's like the phone was just factory reset,
and In storage, available space is 0.
the bigger problem is that the usb port is probably damaged, because I can't access it through windows 10, 7, it says Windows has stopped the device or something like that.
so repartitioning the nand is not possible through the toolkit, if partitioning is the problem.
Could you please tell me my options here,
and if you do recommend a rom, please do.
PS: my touchscreen sometimes stops responding, the touchscreen is popped a little at the right corner, is this something I can fix or not?
HD2 Europe 512
8GB SD Card Sandisk Class 4 (Part1: Fat32 5.5gb, Part2: ext4 2gb)
TWRP: 2.5.0.5 (tried to install the newest 2.8.6.1 but it says that the recovery partition size is small)
Hi @ohdev sorry for delay in responding, had a busy xmas.
Have you read Gilbert's thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398464 it says stuff about broken usb.
Not sure if you can still get replacement touchscreens, not tried it myself.
How are you getting on with it?

Thanks man
what i've found out on that thread is that he only helps to let me install a recovery, which I already have, I have TWRP installed.
Problem is that I was before had android on nand, but all recent roms I find are all run from SD, but I don't know where to start, specially that I don't want to mess with the device, at least it has TWRP
Question is do I need to do something specific to switch to NativeSD?
do you recommend a specific rom, and a procedure if possible?
Thanks again!
have a nice day.
Do you have MAGLDR or cLK installed?
iirc switch on phone then hold down power button and see what screen you get

Sorry for the late reply,
My wife got sick and she has had a surgery.
Yes I do have clk 1.5.2.1
SPL 2.08.HSPL
Thanks
Update:
So I've installed MAGLD, and then installed CM12.1 by macs18max
It works fine, but it's very slow.
PS: If you can guide me how to install Winmo and Android on SD together please let me know.
Hope your wife is feeling better.
in Gilbert's thread it mentions you must have hspl installed to flash android with a broken usb.
I might be wrong but flashing winmo might erase hspl, not sure. So might be irreversible.
If that's ok, you can run nativeSD and sd builds from winmo using clrcad and haret, the sd recovery can also be run from haret. There is a winmo program to boot android from a menu somewhere if you need it.

Thank you,
I've already flashed WinMo 6.5, part of reviving my HD2 was to get it working as stock again.
Yes, I guess I lost HSPL by now , and mostly I won't be able to get it back without fixing the USB, but that's OK.
I'll try android using haret, thank you again!
Actually hspl will be fine as you can confirm by switching on while holding vol down, it should show up on bootloader screen.
Good luck
Unfortunately I lost HSPL,
Thanks.
