Hey guys, so I'm attempting to flash a custom ROM for the first time on my hd2, let alone any phone. I've read through all of the guidelines, and have already installed HSPL on my phone. I'm planning on installing the newest available energy ROM, however, I notice that it's recommended that TMOUS users flash the radio rom to 2.07.50, though it's not necessary. First off, for those of you who have flashed it to 2.07.50, are there advantages? On my stock phone, the radio rom is showing as 2.10.531.1, which I'm not seeing anywhere else in this forum. If for some reason, I do want to revert my phone back to the essential stock form, including the radio ROM, would I be able to do that? If so, I guess I'd have to find the stock 2.10.531.1 radio rom too right? I'm also assuming that there is the TMOUS stock ROM available on this forum if I want to revert everything back to flash, correct? Sorry for all the questions, but as a first time flasher, I'm trying to be cautious!
Thanks!
2.10.531.1 is you os version (rom) not your radio
You're right, that was referring to the ROM itself, not the radio rom. In any case, do any of you still recommend flashing my radio rom from what it is now (2.08.50.08_2) to 2.07.50? And lastly, where would I find the stock ROM and stock radio ROM on this forum in case I wanted to revert my phone back to stock form? I'm guessing that once I have those stock ROMs, flashing from the energy ROM to the stock ROM would be the same exact process?
Hey all, I think I actually have it figured out now. Let me know if this sounds right to you. To go from a custom ROM to the original stock ROM (2.10.531.1) I would first download the "2.10.1 *no stock SPL" ROM from the stickied http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653. I am assuming that 2.10.1 is short for 2.10.531.1. After downloading 2.10.1 I would use customRUU.exe to flash back to the stock rom. To change my radio back to the stock 2.08.50.08_2, I would simply do the same by downloading the file, and again use customRUU.exe to go back to radio 2.08.50.08_2. Lastly, to get back to the original SPL, I would run HSPL2 and choose option SPL 2.08.0000 to revert back. After all of this, my phone would be back to bone stock, correct? I am just making sure that I've got it down before tampering with my beauty! Thanks guys.
P.S. - Anybody have an answer to my original post's question about downgrading my current radio to Energy's preferred 2.07.50? Is it worth it?

there is a thread is the beginning of the HD2 forum for radios...
Yeah, I saw the thread for radio roms too, but I am wanting to know specifically if people have any input on whether or not it's really worth it to change my stock radio rom to use with the energy ROM?

No need to change your radio. Keep the one you have. Flashing radios is by far more dangerous than flashing ROMs. Just make sure when you are flashing ROMs that it is compatible with the TMobile USA and you will be fine.
Thread closed. PM me if you need further assistance.

Yes you can change you stock rom to any custom or upgraded version of stock roms by Htc.
to do this.. you need to have HSPL2 installed into your hd2.
read sticky for more information on this topic and Remember Do not Flash rom through SD card if SPL version is latest than 2.08 .

I'm not sure that HSPL3 works with 3.14, so when I wanted to flash AthineOS v14. I went back to T-Mobile's site and grabbed the official ROM there. I was able to "downgrade" with no issues.
We always recommend a Task 29 when flashing a ROM, whether it's "official" or "cooked". Think of it as reformatting your hard drive before installing a new operating system. Spare bits can be left over after a new ROM is installed over an older one. These will manifest in strange fashions, causing issues that can't be duplicated by a twin phone running the same system.
So yes, you can downgrade if you want, without HSPL or Task 29. Whether you want to or not is up to you.
Yes you can indeed go straight back to 2.13 from 3.14. The leaked 3.14 does not overwrite HardSPL, so you can just straight up flash back to the official 2.13 update like normal.

Just for clarification: Any stock (official or leaked) ROM will overwrite your HSPL if you flash it via microSD. It will not do so if you flash via USB.
I would like to apologize for my first reply to this thread for implying that the HSPL would be overwritten for ANY type of flash and thanks to ashasaur for pointing out my mistake.
I have TMOUS HD2 - stock 2.13 ROM and have not hard-SPLed it yet. So everything is stock.
If I install the 3.14 ROM, would I still be hardSPL it in future if required?

....good question. I've never flashed flashed a rom via SDcard. You should try flashing from 3.14 to 3.13 and see if it removes hardspl. The worse that could happen is it go back to stock spl and just remove it via the hspl3 package.

If you flash from 3.13 to 3.14 or from 3.14 to 3.13 the hardspl will still be kept if flashed is done with a USB cord. I'm not sure if hspl will still be installed if done via sdcard, because I've done any flashing via SDcard. I play it safe and do everything from the USB cord and have had ZERO problem.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
im using the 3.14 right now and the battery life is outstanding. 24 hours an d no issues yet, full 3G in fort worth all day.
Also everytime i have done any flashing, it was done through RUU and not one single issue yet. "crosses fingers"

I also use NIS 2011. I dont have that kind of problem.
I downloaded but I havent flashed it becoz I am affraid that I might not be able to flash any custom rom any more..

Thanks for prompt info, however upon keying in my HD2 serial no, it says the software is not suitable for my mobile. Would you suggest I should still try with other links available and upgrade it (for Singapore). Many thanks.

Yes you should download from the Singapore page as the ROM at the HK site is for CHT whereas Singapore is either CHS or WWE.
I've have been running the HK 1.72.831.1 ROM for ages, then i decided to flash to this ROM, been using it for the last week, and for my HD2, this ROM is a pile of sh*t
issue's i've dicsovered so far
1. issues with launching video from album view, issues range from no video playback, to radio buttons disappear at bottom of screen....never had these issue wth 1.72.831.1 when playing the same videos
2. consumes lots of RAM ( 80-90 % ), compared to 1.72 ( 40-70ish% ), so much so that applications will fail, intermittant usage of opera for example.
It's a pitty, cause overall this ROM is much more responsive, and the radio seems more responsive too ( eg enable/disable wifi etc... )
Looks like i'll be rolling back to 1.72.831.1

Sir like mention almost everywhere; Stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL!
You need to remove HSPL before installing stock ROM 3.14! If you don't do it the above mentioned problems are normal!

Hi,
I just wanna share my experience.I just flashed the Stock ROM after many times consideration. I felt that no increase in term of speed [I used to flash Energy as a benchmark of ROM speed ] I mean it was slower than any cooked ROM. So I decided to go back to Cooked ROM. Now, I am using Carnage HD v.4.2 which is faster than the stock ROM.
In flashing the stock ROM, I had to remove HSPL2 by way of running HSPL2 from my PC (Win XP Pro SP3) and choose SPL 1.66. I succeeded, then I flashed the stock ROM also from my PC.
In flashing back to Cooked ROM, I use SSPL. First attempt, my PC got crashed (BSOD), I wasnt sure the reason of which. The second attempt, I succeeded.
Now I have SPL 3.03 in my HD2. I read that few users reported that they can downgrade the SPL. I am not sure whether it is safe. I need time to think about it.
Cheers....

You can downgrade your spl version from 3.03 by flashing a older stock Rom.

After I flashed this ROM to my phone, upgrading it to any Artemis ROM via SSPL would load HSPL 1.42 instead of 3.03. Also, I've had problems with Artemis ROMS after flashing to this stock ROM, such as stuck on HTC boot screen or soft reset becoming hard resets. Could it be a problem with the HSPL? How do I make sure that it loads HSPL 3.03 when flashing Artemis instead of 1.42?

Sir if you take some time to read the installation instructions on the Artemis Rom thread you will see that you need to remove HSPL if you used 3.14 stock Rom based Rom's.
HSPL isn't compatible with stock ROM 3.14!!

I have never installed HSPL. All I have had are stock Roms. How do I remove HSPL? I've already done a stock rom reflash.
I was wondering if it was possible to install Android on the stock ROM 3.14 WWE (radio 2.15.50.14). I would like to install android without having to use HSPL because I'd like to keep the phone under warranty
Nahh
Tried doing that. My WM locked up totally. It would start, but NO 3'rd party progs worked. I could not uninstall, nor install.
The only thing that worked was to reset WM.
So i ran the HSPL part, upgraded WM to Dutty, upgraded the Radio, and Android ran smoothly.
I'm not sure if all WM's will lock up, but i only speak for my self.
Btw, my was stock Norwegian.
Good luck
It does work on the latest ROM (3.14). Plenty of people have had it working, me being one of them. It's definitely a good solution for those who don't want to have to upgrade HSPL in order to get a newer radio.
I've been always using Stock roms, and Android has always worked perfectly here.
Currently using 3.14 German Stock Rom + MDJ 1.7 Android room. working flawlessly.
stock orange rom
I am using a stock orange rom. I did HSPL3 and updated the radio to 2.14.50.04.
I went for the FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2 build, and have had no stability issues. I use this as my main phone and never revert back to winmo.
Like most I do suffer from data drops, but get around it by toggling airplane mode.
Hi, two seperate things here, you can run it on a stock rom see my sig, but you must install HSPL3.
Mines working just fine...
Didn't alter the WinMo ROM, radio, or even SPL. Just cut & pasta the Android ROM files to SD Card, and magic!

No, you don't need to install hspl. A radio version >2.08 is enough. Recent stock ROM has 2.15
having HSPL is safer .. I am running the Tmobile stock with hspl ,running Mdeejay Evo and works like a charm .
I don't see how having HSPL could possibly be any safer for running Android from your sd card, as Android doesn't use or touch your SPL at all. You are perfectly safe to run Android on a stock rom, as long as you have a X.XX.50.XX radio everything will be as if you were to run it on a cooked rom
