long story short, put HSPL 2.08 on my TMOUS HD2 so i could use chuckyrom (which did not work.it didnt download as an exe)...i.need.to.take.it.off. ive spent the past day researching how to do it. ive searched this site over, and tried everything, yet when at the bootloader it still says i have cotullaHSPL on it...i need it back to the original so i can send it in for repair. i did not make a copy of whatever file i needed. i have nothing but a phone with HSPL that needs to come off...any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
oops duplicate
depends what your original was.
If its a tmous phone, run hspl3 and choose 2.08.0000
if its a regular hd2, run hspl2 and choose 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000
and of course the rom didnt download as an exe, ,, custom roms never do, they come as an .nbh file, and you put that in a folder with customruu.exe and run customruu.
thanks for the quick response...did what you said...used the HSPL3 download and installed SPL-2.08.0000 and it says the usual MicroP(LED) and such...not sure if that still voids the warranty as the original i had was 1.42 i believe...but it doesnt say HSPL or Coulleta so i should be fine eh? any final way to move it back to 1.42? or will 2.08 work?

if it was 1.42.0000 then you should use hspl2 and set it to 1.42.0000 else yes, they will know you've been messing. 2.08.0000 only ships with tmous phones, and the only way you could possibly get 2.08.0000 on your phone is by using hspl.
(HSPL3 is really for tmous customers, use hspl2 to return yours to stock)
downloaded HSPL2 and tried to downgrade from 2.08 back to 1.42...it just went to an error message saying bad device ID (or something like that) also just tried putting the RUU_signed.nbh on my sd card, renaming to LEOIMG.nbh and starting in bootloader...it goes to a white screen that says loading... and thats it...is it stuck? any other option?

nope...its just a standard Tmobile USA HD2...i made the mistake of trying to hack it and put HSPL 2.08 on and need to return it but that voids warranty...so i need to take it off...right now its showing it has just spl 2.08 and the regular boot screen...no hard spl, just standard...will that be ok?

yes, 2,08.0000 will be fine.
awesome! thank you! the whole thing started when the first HD2 failed...so Tmo sent me another one...i managed to fix #1, and also killed and installed HSPL on the second one...so i would either have to remove it, or send my good one back and keep the broken one...my first one (thats working is showing it has spl 2.10 (my bad, i thought it was 1.42) so i only need to downgrade from 2.08, to 2.10...but if spl 2.08 wont void it and itll be fine, then im happy...thanks again!

try smaller sd card. fair few people reported 8gb not working.
alternatively run hspl and choose your stock spl from there.
That worked

When I run HSPL3 again I can only choose 2.08 spl and I wanted to get back to the original 1.42 spl - any hints?
The reason is because I want to install the new official 3.14 rom from HTC and I've read that this is not so good with HSPL3 on the phone.

The 2.08 SPL is also an official/original SPL version (don't choose SPL2.08 HSPL!!).
If you have 2.08 SPL, you can also upgrade safely to the new 3.14 ROM.

But can I, after I've used HSPL3 to install SPL 2.08, install an old official 1.66 rom with SPL 1.42? and will this remove HSPL3 and return my phone to SPL 1.42?
I asking because I've read on this great site, that the new rom 3.14 uses spl 3.03 and it's incompatible with spl 2.08 as well as with HSPL3?

depends how you flash it, , over usb, hspl will remain, via sd card, hspl will be removed. You can also do it by running hspl2 and choosing 1.42.0000, no need to flash anything

sure, the actual 2.08 spl/hspl contained in hspl3 is exactly the same as in hspl2, only difference is that hspl2 is more versatile (more spl/hspl options) and hspl3 supports telstra and tmous phones.
For regular hd2 users, hspl2 is the better option.
(Plus hspl2 detects what you currently have running, and offers you the opposite, so if it detects spl 1.66.0000 it defaults to offering you 1.66.hspl.
hspl3 on the other hand always offers you 2.08.0000 and many MANY noobs have just simply hit 'go' without changing the dropdown and then think they now have hspl installed, and they dont, causing much confusion and hundreds of 'oh my god it doesnt work' posts.)

Yes freshly formatted fat32 1gb card - and nothing. But I have the spl 2.08 hspl and not the spl 2.08 on the phone. Perhaps thats the reason?
I'll try and find the hspl 2 and see if I can change to spl 1.42 that way and then I'll install old stock rom 1.66 via sd to remove hspl and then upgrade to the new 3.14 rom.
Does this sound like an ok approach?

if hspl has been removed you don't need to flash from sd card. the spl will be updated by normal usb flash. only need to use sd card if hspl is still installed.
just flashed mine.......great
I am having the same problem HSPL 2.08 and trying to flash from a FAT 32 2GB SD card with Stock rom 3.14 (LEOIMG.NBH) and I get to the grey screen saying loading and it just stays there.
Any advice?
I put on HSPL 2.08 (though Bootloader just reads 2.08).
Will try tnad flash to 1.42 using HSPL and see if I have any luck.
it doesn't "just read 2.08" it reads either 2.08.0000 or 2.08.hspl, there's a huge difference.
also, if you need hspl because there isn't a stock 3.14 for your phone, you should know that
o sdcard i that nstall 3.14 it won't flash anyway. (step one of sd card flashing is the spl gets updated to 3.03, second it checks the cid and region, finds they don't match, and you get rom upgrade code error.
if you use hspl to customruu install 3.14 it will install and run but be very buggy and only 60mb free ram because spl isn't 3.03.
Ok so I flashed my device to 2.08.hspl - 3.14 then installed happy days.
Not content I decided to run task29 then install 3.14 off the SD card. It got have way through and errored. It changed my SPL from 2.08.hspl to 3.03.0000 but gave a wrong ROM code error please try again.
I think I need to put on the stock rom (it's a stock HTC phone) but it wont accept the 3.14 I have nor the 1.48 I have downloaded.
I try to download 3.14 off the HTC software support site but it tells me that software is'nt for my phone?! it's a late 2010 model (got it mid nov 2010 already had 3.14 when I got it.)
I tried to revert it back to 2.08.hspl but HSPL3 wont recognise the SPL.
Any ideas?
YOU CANNOT INSTALL 3.14 USING HSPL - YOU GET LOW MEMORY AND UNSTABLE PHONE.
you now need to flash back to a correct stock rom. usb is fine, no need for sd card.
Thanks,
I've figured as much but when I try to install the correct stock rom (3.14.405.2 unbranded WWE) it wont load up!
Just does 1% then goes to the software update failed please try again.
so basically my question is what is the correct stock rom for me? because the Stock 3.14 and Stock 1.48 file I downloaded neither work!
Message on bootloader screen as follows -

Just spoke with HTC informed I have a Swiss device!!!! so basically Exspansys sent me a swiss device with WWE 3.14 rom how the hell did they do that or why even?! any way i degress.
Installing the German 3.14 rom now seems to be working will then enternain thenotion of switching languages using goldcard....cherrs for your help.
no need for goldcard.
you already have spl 3.03.0000 from the german rom so just use SSPL to flash.
Tried 3.14 WWE using SSPL_RUU
It gives the usual 00028002 erorr (or 294 Invalid Vendor ID)
I was under the impression now I have a German HD2 with the correct German 3.14 rom with the correct 3.03 SPL I cant flash any other roms with out going down the HSPL route (which cannot be done correctly with 3.03 any way)
I want the stock WWE 3.14 rom and it looks like the only way is the goldcard method? Unless you have any ideas?!?!!?!?
Cheers
I have been searching and googling for over 2 hours straight and cant find any solution to my problem:
I was going to install the Custom HD2 Android. But my radio was to old. so I decided to update it with the newest rom.
I Installed the HSPL thingy, did the whole renaming and placement of LEOIMG.nbh
and tried to install it via bootloader. But it stopped at 9% telling me: "00028002 Not allowed"
So now I cant get passed a screen:

I'm starting to believe there is nothing I can do.. Cant access my sd card when plugged to the pc or nothing..
Is there ANYTHING someone can help me with?
I believe your problem lies with SPL 3.03. I don't think even the latest HSPL will work. I think what you have to do is flash an older stock ROM in order for your SPL to revert to 2.10. Then use HSPL3 to HSPL your device. Then you can flash any ROM you want.

won't work on none tmous phone because spl 3 won't let itself downgrade to spl1. just like spl2 wouldn't downgrade to 1.
the tmous users CAN downgrade from 3 to 2, but there are no spl2 roms for none tmous users.
@OP
if you have a tmous phone then flash a stock tmous rom from sd card.
if you have a normal hd2 then you are stuck on spl3 until hspl gets updated.
EDIT - my answer was incorrect, I was being wary until someone confirmed the spl CAN be downgraded by flashing a correct stock rom for your phone (USB is fine), or by using a goldcard.

you flashed the 3.x rom from sd card. the first thing an sd card flash does is remove hspl, and replace it with stock spl. next, the rom checks that the phone matches the rom, which in your case it doesn't, so it stops and fails.
you could try forcing an spl 2.08.0000 tmous rom on it using goldcard, in the hope it will then allow you to run hspl2.
But all of this requires me to have access to my sd card? I don't have that :\
ah ok.then its time to wait for the next hspl version to support spl3.x
Would it be too much to ask if you could send me a pm or a mail at [email protected] whenever that happens? Probably going back to a good old Sony Ericsson in the meantime, hehe
i'd like to say yes, but it could be several weeks, and i can barely remember to feed myself from one day to the next, so..... heh.
however When it does come out, it will be hard not to notice, just skim the latest thread titles every day or two.
edit - oh, and don't give up just yet, I could be mistaken, its not unusual!. i haven't touched the 3.x rom/spl yet, so i could be wrong.
this thread, for instance,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814838
suggests that the spl CAN be downgraded. reports are still confused.
you could for instance try flashing the 3.x rom over usb using SSPL, and then you'd at least have a working phone.
EDIT - MY RESPONSES IN THIS THREAD WERE NOT BASED ON ALL THE INFORMATION WE NOW HAVE REGARDING SPL 3.03
THE 3.03 SPL CAN BE DOWNGRADED EASILY BY USING THE CORRECT STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE, FLASHED EITHER USB OR SD CARD.
Hi i had my hd2 repaired by htc now the spl is spl3.03.0000
so the question is which hspl do i put on as i really am not sure thanks

There is no HSPL version present yet who is compatible with SPL 3.03
We need to wait sir
Ow Ps, do you have a Branded UK Orange device?
no its unbranded
Any updates on hspl for this yet
if its unbranded just flash a stock 1.66 to downgrade the spl then hspl as before.
Hi. I am on 3.14, i would need to downgrade too...
would this file i found online be good? :
RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 ¶
7U_2.06.51.07_Ship
Its 1.66.404.1 but not 1.66.0000.. is this a problem?
I need to find a stock rom on NLD (dutch) to downgrade before putting my HSPL... Why is it so hard to find an original file from factory, say 1.42 in everylanguage?
And what is the difference by downgrading to 1.42 or 1.66?
Thank you kind sirs
1.66.404.1 is rom version,,, 1.66.0000 is the spl version.
yes that rom should be fine assuming you have an unbranded hd2. doesn't matter which you downgrade to, they both will allow hspl.
its not at all difficult to find them.
look for "leo official roms" thread, in rom development section, and in there, first post first link takes you to most of the roms.
Samsamuel, thx a lot for that positive answer HD2 is indeed unbranded.
makes me feel better, been in despair with my dutch HD2...
So its finally clearer to me, 0000 is SPL and XXX is rom version
But to Downgrade, a non SPL version is ok then?
But to install HSPL, i need an SPL version?
And one last thing, can i install all of this stuff without booting from SDmini?
Those were the old procedures, no?
Thx!
all stock roms come with a version of spl, but it doesn't say which spl in the filename.
1.43 and 1.48 roms come with spl 1.42.0000
1.66 and 1.72 roms have spl 1.66.0000
3.14 comes with spl 3.03.0000 and hspl doesn't work with it.
the numbers you see in the filename are rom (1.66.404.1) and radio (2.06.51.07) versions, not spl.
when you look in bootloader at spl, it will always end either .0000 or .hspl where 0000 is stock.
it doesn't matter which spl you have, so long as it isn't spl 3.03 then hspl will work and allow you to flash roms andradios.
Thx! Even clearer now
Unfortunately, i am currently on 3.14.. i tried installing a lower version ROM (1.66, the link i put earlier) but it didnt work..
How can i downgrade to those versions who enable me to use HSPL? Once u have a higher rom, it detects lower and u cant downgrade?
Is the only method to flash with SDcard?

I think i managed to install my English pack allright!
I installed the earliest official pack from HTC, rom 1.48
Then installed HSPL3, then my official HTC WWE 3.14 rom!
Confirmed, it works!!!
Again, Thank you for your time and your explanations of roms!
See you around on the forums, mate!
dont smile too soon, if you flashed a 3.14 rom whilst spl is installed then you will have memory and stability issues.
Go to
settings menu all settings system memory, what does it show for free program memory? around 50meg? should be about 140.
Couldnt really find "memory settings" but what if ound was this:
Total storage: 176 mb
Used storage 56
Free storage 119 mb
TOtal programm 208 MB
Used program 163 mb
free programm 45 mb
NO SD CARD (must buy one tomorrow lol)
So, as u said, its around 40 mb.. What should have i done better?
Also, what is the difference in the SPL?
I mean, from factory settings, i upgraded to 3.14.
With HSPL, i upgraded to 3.14
What difference does it make, isnt it the same? Doesnt 3.03 spl install itself?
Anyways, will be glad to hear your comments on my new problem then haha
not through usb flash. If hspl is installed it remains installed.
3.14 roms must have spl 3.03.0000
Before the 3.14 roms it didnt matter, all roms worked on any version spl, but the 3.14 roms dont.
You should have removed hspl first, (so that your spl ends .0000) then flashed the 3.14 rom, , this allows it to upgrade spl to 3.03.0000
Hhm, i really dont wanna brick my HD2 with all those stability issues.. is there a risk if i leave it like that?
Anyways, i'll restart the instalations then. I checked on bootloader, currently this is what i have: SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE
How should i proceed? Should i flash from SD card a 3.14 directly WWE? I have nothing yet on my HD2, (using 3.14 WWE official rom from HTC website) so i dont really care about flashing, reinstalling, hard resets
Just give me advice on how to proceed to have the perfect installation
Is a flash from SD card obligatory? But that would get rid of HSPL, no? and if i get rid of HSPL, my HD2 is going to go back to its original language (DUTCH), right? I want to avoid putting my HD2 in that language...
Say, if i SDFLASH the latest rom WWE (even though my HD2 previously to HSPL only accepted NLD (hence dutch) roms), will it work?
Sorry for taking up so much of ur time, but ur comments are so helpful
connect to usb, put the phone in bootloader.
then
run hspl2
choose 1.66.0000
when phone reboots, quickly hold voldown to reenter bootloader
run the 3.14.exe
Thx for the quick reply.
Why would i use HSPL 2 now, i was using the HSPL 3 before? Isnt it the latest most stable one tu use?
Can i still run HSPL3 and choose 1.66? (i think not actually i only had choice of 2.08)..
So can i run HSPL3 and then re run with HSPL2??? It wont have compatibility issues?
And how to install the exe while in bootloader? Is it a flash from SD Card?
What will happen if i leave my 3.14 in the 2.08 SPL? only stability issues? No risk of bricking, or long term affecting negatively the phone?
So many questions.. hope u can answer all of them..
Also, one last big question: Now that HSPL is installed, isnt it easier to simply, when i recieve my SD card, to flash a WWE official rom 3.14? wouldnt that do the trick? Or i need to go through HSPL2 for sure?
Thx again!
the .exe's are just installers, the spl/hspl inside is the same. So, the 2.08.hspl in hspl3, the actual code that gets flashed to your bootloader, is IDENTICAL to 2.08.hspl in hspl2.
But, hspl3 only has 2.08.0000 and 2.08.hspl as options, but since spl 2.08 isn't stock for your phone, if you ever needed to get back to stock, you can do that with hspl2, but not hspl3, so since the one version of spl/hspl that they both contain (2.08) is teh same, and hspl2 has extra options for a non tmous user, why use hspl3? there is no reason.
Oh, and whilst we're at it, hspl2 detects which spl you currently have and offers you the opposite (so if it finds 1.42.0000 it sets the dropdown to 1.42.hspl)
HSPL3 doesnt do this, it always offers you 2.08.0000 until you manually change it, and many a newb has just clicked OK and thinks they have installed hspl, when in fact they haven't.
Lol, i be one of the many noobs.. But in my bootloader, it says i have installed HSPL, so.. i guess its installed!
Will follow your recommendations, but just one last thing
How to remove this current HSPL3 then and restart the steps with HSPL2? You said that
"But, hspl3 only has 2.08.0000 and 2.08.hspl as options, but since spl 2.08 isn't stock for your phone, if you ever needed to get back to stock, you can do that with hspl2, but not hspl3, so since the one version of spl/hspl that they both contain (2.08) is teh same, and hspl2 has extra options for a non tmous user, why use hspl3? there is no reason"
I used HSPL3 because i read on forums thats its better to use the latest HSPL as the previous versions usually are out of date.. seems i was mistaken then... Also, i used HSPL3 because it was compatible with any 1.XX rom, and i could only downgrade as low as 1.48. Would HSPL2 be able to be installed on 1.48 official rom? I thought highest HSPL2 could work on was 1.42?
So you say that now that i have installed HSPL3, i cannot go back to stock? Im sure there would be a way, but what should i do then?
Should i just flash some stock rom from SD card, hoping it takes HSPL3 away, and restart procedure with HSPL2?
Or with USB sync i can restart the procedure, by just openiong HSPL2 without touching any rom?
Hi all, I've been running HSPL and Stock ROM 3.14.405.2 on my UK T-Mobile HD2. I needed HSPL as its a generic ROM.
I decided to try a cooked ROM (Artemis), which required the removal of HSPL. I extracted "RUU_signed.nbh" from the 3.14 ROM, renamed it to "leoimg.nbh" and stuck it on my SD Card, before resetting and pressing the down volume. It rebooted, asked if i wanted to continue with the installation, and then reset halfway through.
I'm now getting "Upgrade ROM code error. Please Try Again" and sometimes a grey screen with red numbers "00028002" at the top.
I've tried installing a standard 3.14 ROM again, and a 1.66 ROM, but both say they are unable to communicate to the phone.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated please - I'm gonna have to crack out my Nokia N70 back up soon!!
What haoppened is that when you ran the 3.14 update from sd card, because HSPl was installed it allowed it to start flashing even though its not for your phone. (As hspl should indeed do).
Problem is that step 1 of the update process is to replace the spl(hspl) and instal spl 3.03.0000. The phone then reboots into the new 3.03.0000 bootloader and flashing continues. Except it doesn't, because hspl is no longer there, so your phone rejects the 3.14 rom and you get rom update error and are left with spl 3.03.0000 and no way to apply a 3.14 rom.
Had you tried to flash that rom without hspl, it would have simply failed and done nothing.
The 1.66 rom didnt work because it is an unbranded rom, and you have a branded phone.
You need a t mo uk rom, and you dont need to use sd card, you can flash over usb from bootloader and it will downgrade spl from 3.03.0000 and hspl2 will again work.
Only way, the ONLY way, you can get a 3.14 rom onto your branded hd2 is goldcard. running it as you did with hspl causes instability and only 200 and odd meg ram, with only 50 meg free.
if you would read the install instructions on the first post of the Artemis ROM;
1) you didn't need this thread.
2) you saw the step by step guide on how to do it (available in 3 language!!)

What haoppened is that when you ran the 3.14 update from sd card, because HSPl was installed it allowed it to start flashing even though its not for your phone. (As hspl should indeed do).
Problem is that step 1 of the update process is to replace the spl(hspl) and instal spl 3.03.0000. The phone then reboots into the new 3.03.0000 bootloader and flashing continues. Except it doesn't, because hspl is no longer there, so your phone rejects the 3.14 rom and you get rom update error and are left with spl 3.03.0000 and no way to apply a 3.14 rom.
Had you tried to flash that rom without hspl, it would have simply failed and done nothing.

Thanks for the response - I thought something along those lines had happened, so I've gotten TMobile 1.72 from the HTC site.
Ive extraced RUU_signed and renamed it to leoimg, and stuck it on the SD Card. My problem is now, when i boot with the volume held down, It just says "Upgrade ROM code error. Please Try Again" still. It doesnt seem to boot from the SD. Am i missing something or is it totally ballsed?
EDIT: After formatting a different card and trying again, it's working. Wiping now....
As for this goldcard stuff, i assume there's plenty of threads to do that?

Ahhhhhh, that'd explain why performance with 3.14 has been totally rubbish. I had no idea hspl had an overhead like that. Goldcard it is then......if i ever get it working
its not hspl with the overhead, its an incompatibility between the rom and the spl. If you put 3.14 rom on there and then remove hspl leaving say 1.66.0000, you still get the same issues.
As for goldcard, theres a goldcard request thread in rom dev section, post a cid there and ill make a batch of images up later this evening.

All valid points, but not very helpful seeing as this is a thread requesting.....help.
My HD2 needs to go in for repair so I need to remove HSPL and flash a stock WinMo ROM ready for monday when it is getting collected.
I have followed the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623402 but the screen does not go grey, there is a very quick flash then it returns to the multicoloured screen and pressing the power button does nothing
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me here as I have to sort this before Monday.
Cheers in advance
Bry.

the quick flash is the bootloader looking for a valid file, and usually means one of a few things..
1 - the file isn't correctly named leoimg.nbh
2 - you simply renamed the htc_wwe_blahblah_.exe to leoimg.nbh instead of extracting ruu_signed.nbh and renaming THAT.
3 - you are using an sd card bigger than 4gb (not always the case, but most times bigger cards fail)
4 - the card is formatted FAT16 instead of FAT32
5 - hspl isn't installed after all and the ROM is not a match for the phones ROM/region lock. (what does the spl line say in bootloader?)
try those, see if it resolves it.
fix
go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 and on the 4th post there is a zip at the bottom download unzip and run and just choose the non hspl
what hspl are you running?
Ok tried again and the bootloader screen looks like this
thats the right on but the last line about the touch is different i have 50 instead of 40
Any reason why it would be different?
Wanna make sure its dont right, dont want em sending it back and telling me I have hacked it
That's only a valid spl if you have a tmous,,,, if you have a regular hd2 then any spl starting 2 is wrong. Only tmous roms use 2.x spls.
Its a UK O2 phone mate, what have I done wrong then?

Well without scanning back through the thread, I'm guessing you had 2.08.hspl installed and ran hspl2 or 4, which will have defaulted to the opposite, namely 2.08.0000,
Or,you SD flashed a tmous stock rom, which didn't initially fail because hspl was installed, but then failed to continue to flash after the spl had changed because hspl was no longer there.
Fix - run hspl2 (hspl2 is the most usefull for us reg Leo users) and choose a matching spl to the rom version installed ...
Rom ....... spl
1.43 ....... 1.42.0000
1.66 ....... 1.66.0000
3.14 ....... 3.03.0000 -- you would need to use Hspl4 for this.
If the phone is buggered and wont boot, then it doesn't really matter which you choose, so long as it's one of those three.
(And in fact it probably wouldn't matter even if the rom and spl don't match,, they're only really interested in the spl, just nice to be cautious,would be a pain to have it sent back on a technicality)
Phone boots but I cant do anything with it due to the screen freeze which is why its going back to HTC.
Ok now it tells me I dont have SPL 1.42 on my phone and it refuses to flash a stock ROM :/
Guess I am screwed, new phone time

You're using the wrong hspl.exe, its v1 that requires 1.42 to work,,,try again.
Ok I think I got it
I should flash the latest ROM again aswell really as they asked me to do that when I rang em yesterday
All sorted and upgraded to the latest ROM ready to go back to HTC.
Cheers mate saved me a lot of heartache
Welcome...
while on this topic, im using Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** via HSPL
now i wish to return to my stock (which i am pretty sure is this :
RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe
(i copied down these details when i got my phone on the first day)
do i need to roll down to Radio 2.05.51.05_2 ?
i cant seem to get this ROM installed, whether its 1.42 SPL or 2.08 HSPL
i removed HSPL, and definitely not a TMOUS hd2 but cant install the stock rom
