[q] [hspl/hspl2] - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey
i just installed [HSPL/HSPL2] for a few days ago on my HD2.
but i have a question regarding this, to my big suprise htc just released a new european ROM that i want to install.. wil the be a problem when i have [HSPL/HSPL2] installed on my phone.
do i have to unistall [HSPL/HSPL2] before i flash the new ROM.

why did you install it?
is your phone branded?
there are some issues between hspl and the newest official rom (i.e. lower ram), but you can solve them by uninstalling hspl.

thx for the respond
the reason for instalation whas that i was not happy whit the radio capasity on the phone.
what is the safest way to unistall the [HSPL/HSPL2]???
sorry for being a noob but what do you mean whit "branded"

"radio capacity", please explain what you mean
branded means for example that you bought it with a carrier at t-mobile, vodafone, or similar shop; so that its branded with the vendors logo or something else.
where did you buy it? when you boot it, what does it show you? a white screen with green htc logo?

Sorry
with "radio capacity" i mean that the GPS is slow when trying find the satelites
and the phone reseption is weak.
and no the phone is not "branded"

so why did you install hspl? thats just the bootloader and hasn't to do anything with signal strength...thats all the RADIO's part.
so if the phone is not branded, you can just easily download the rom with your S/N on htc.com and run the RUU.
everything else is explained there.
you can safely uninstall hspl by running hspl2.exe and choose your stock spl (i guess spl 1.48 or 1.66).

Give more detail about your device, SPL? Radio version? Custom RUU version that you use?
i can't give you more that SPL 2.03 because the rest (RUU, radio) doesn't work. I can't enter in my device (i tried several custom RUU, still nothing, remaing stucked on 0%)
my first SPL was 1.03 but after a try of upgrading ROM it was modifed in 2.03 and i think this is the problem. does anyone knows how to modify it?
how can i downgrade my SPL ?
A quick fix
I am willing to take your bricked hermes off your hands for $40 US. I know, I am too kind.
i'm thinking that his big problem is at radio sigurance. what can i do?
his problem is on radio. when i'm flashing, on radio is stopping.

[Q] T-mobile HD2 Update MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), What is it?

T-mobile HD2 Update MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1), What is it?
Today T-mobile release a new software update. Does anybody know what it is for?
I assume if you have a rom installed it is no good. I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
yeah has anyone installed it and what are the benefits of it?? I want to know b4 installing...
You may get better answers over in the TMOUS HD2 forum on this
Features of the 3.14.531.1 update
I also had the same question - what is it that changed with the new HTC HD2 ROM? I spent a lot of time searching, and found this:
Pasting the text below, just in case that link dies (I hate it when that happens):
[pasted from phonesreview uk on 10/22/2010]
==============================================
For all you T-mobile HTC HD2 smartphone users out there who have been waiting for an official software update to land, you’ll be happy to know that today is the day you have been waiting for as T-Mobile is to release software update version 3.14.531.1 to the HTC HD2.
According to an article over on Tmonews, the new software update from T-mobile will deliver several fixes along with stability improvements and access to new apps like Amazon MP3 and Shazam. As for those bug fixes…
The new software update will fix such stuff as slow browsing when on Facebook, the inability to delete Gmail messages in the preview screen, Twitter errors, SMS being delivered to the wrong person, and the white screen whilst browsing the net, the inability to hear Visual Voicemail, unable to unlock the device, unable to unlock the HTC HD2 with correct password, and the lack of a space bar on company directory keyboard, and finally the speakerphone doesn’t work after using the Call Assist app to call 611.
HTC HD2 user can download the new software update by visiting t-mobile and following the instruction; however T-mobile will issue a notification by text to HTC HD2 users when the update is ready, which should be today the 19th of October so keep an eye on your text messages and let us know how you get along.

Its horrible...I'm having the worst connections to apps like Omarket, Marketplace, Slacker Radio...The Wifi will not stay connected...The only thing working as far as connections is the internet.

yes, it will be locked again! But, there is no reason why T-mobile will not request an unlock code from HTC on your behalf. Usually it takes 24-48hrs

Why you say it's a bad idea...because the official is no good or because you can damage the phone this way ? I went from omega to the 3.14.531.1 and I experience many problems freezes restarts etc ...I think the update damaged the phone (although it was successful)

you probably left hspl installed, 3.14 plus hspl = "many problems freezes restarts etc"
Ι am no expert but I am sure I replaced HSPL with SPL 2.08
Still I experience all these freezes and restarts with both 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 versions (in 3.14.531.1 it even freezes when you insert the memory card)
Can it be something else ?

so, is that spl 2.08 or hspl 2.08 or spl 2.08.0000 or hspl 2.08.hspl? clarity please, leaving off the last 4 digits prevents us from double checking your work.
enter bootloader, whats it say next to spl? (all of it, not just the x.xx bit)

Entering the bootloader right now says 2.10.0000
It must have been changed after flashing the official 2.13.531.1 (via USB)
Prior to doing that I had run the utility hspl3 and chosen 2.08.0000 (there are 2 choices in this utility as you say 2.08.0000 and 2.08.hspl) so (I thought) I had replaced the hspl with the official loader
Does this utility (hspl3) effectively changes the SPL or just updates the displayed number ?
Do you suggest following the micro SD card method to flash and not the USB method ?
I read somewhere that the ONLY way to replace the SPL is by flashing from micro SD...so what is the hspl3 utility for ?
Can you help me with that please ?
I need help because the phone right now although it seems to have been flashed correctly to official 2.13.531.1 and displays 2.10.0000 as it's SPL version freezes and restarts every some minutes...

yes, because you chose teh wrong 2.08 (next step) it will be changed by usb flashing. Had you chosen 2.08.hspl, this would still say 2.08.hspl

thats old instructions.
for a start hspl .exeis for applying hspl, not just removing it - you can simply run hspl3 (or hspl4, whichever, makes no difference) - choose an spl ending .0000, hspl is gone. choose one with .hspl and, , , guess, , , yes! it loads hspl onto teh phone.
Can you help me with that please ?

yep, happens a lot that, especially with stock roms,, give 3.14 a try perhaps.
3.14.531.1 has more problems...not only it freezes with certain applications (or making phone calls) but it freezes when inserting the microSD card as well...that's why I went to 2.13.531.1...at least I could keep the microSD inside without freezing...
And that's why I think it's not a firmware-software issue...that's what I'm trying to verify...
Now I have another bigger issue...after trying to flash a firmware that I think it wasn't T-Mobile's by mistake (the phone is T-Mobile model) the SPL is now 3.03.0000 and the 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 firmwares refuse to start flashing
Is there something I can do ?
I want to go back to 2.13.531.1 so I can sent it to T-Mobile
Thanks
Use hspl4, choose 2.08.hspl, reflash 2.13.
Sounds like you flashed a non tmous stock 3.14,,, don't do anything that silly again.
Just confirm for us,,, your send key is green, right?
Thank you very much I used hspl4 and managed to go back to the proper ROM
As for the send key if you mean the key with the little telephone on it yes it's green...the phone is T-mobile it says so on the top
Now that I have tried 2.10.531.1 - 2.13.531.1 and 3.14.531.1 versions and all 3
suffer from strange freezes and restarts when making phone calls or watching movies from the internet or the storage card (after some time) don't you think it's safe to presume that there is a hardware fault and return it to the vendor ?
Do you think there is something else for me to try ?
Thank you again for your help...

Am I stuck with stock ROM forever?

Hi guys,
I have managed to break my USB socket on my O2 branded HD2 (dont know how). I flashedd a stock ROM to it before i sent it to be repaired. The repair was to expensive and now i am stuck with a stock O2 HD2 with no USB connection.
I really want to run android so need to gold card or HSPL or something to upgrade the radio but it seems that you need an activesync connection to do both of those.... anybody know how to do it another way?
Thanks in advance

How did you do this? leoimg.nbh + vol_down when you turned on the phone?
Has it definately overwritten HSPL?
Yes i did it like that. it definately no longer has HSPL
when o2 get their ar$e into gear and release a 3.14 rom, you will be able to flash that from sd card, and it will allow android. dont hold your breath though, heh.
Course, you could always make and use a goldcard to flash the wwe 3.14, far simpler, bet you could have one by tomorrow if you start reading up now.

[Q] Touch screen/Rom update problem.

Hello guys,
I have a question, lately I tried some different ROM's and also a Windows 7 rom. But after a while my touch screen stopped working, so I resetted my phone returned it to it's original state with the normal windows 6.5 rom and brought it back to the shop, although I forgot to change my HSPL.. Now HTC says that my guarantee expired due to me modding my software. Now there is another shop in my city that has a HTC repaircenter so I was planning on bringing it there, I restored it to the original HSPL, but when I try to update my ROM back to the STOCK rom it stays still on 0% while trying to update it. So I'm quite unsure what the state of my telephone is, wether my touchscreen is broken or not because if you could've seen the state my phone is in you would think it's brand new. So I find it hard to believe that my touch screen really broke since I never dropped it. If anyone could help me out what to do, because HTC send me a bill of €480,- if I want to repair that phone and that is outrageous ofcourse.
If anyone has any other idea's, how to get my stockrom back on or take it to another shop where they repair cellphone's, please enlighten me!
wrong stock rom often causes hang at 0%, you sure its the correct stock rom for your phone? cant just use any hd2 stock rom.
Yeah, I'm 100% sure it's the right stock rom.
when you say 'I restored it to the original hspl', , which spl did you set? (which spl shows in bootloader, now?) Also, what does teh top line of bootloader say?
Pb81100 hx-bc
spl-2.08.0000 8g xe
thats not a regular hd2 stock spl, that's only stock spl for tmous phones. send a regular hd2 back with that spl and they will know you've been hacking it.
assuming you don't have a tmous (hd2 model and full filename of any roms being discussed is always very useful in post 1), use hspl2 to set 1,66,0000 and try the sd card flash again. I've tried reverting to stock O2 UK rom from spl 2.08 in the past with the same failure. reverting to 1,66 and the flashing fixed it.
Alright, I've read on some forums that that was the right HSPL. Do you by any change have a link to that HSPL or can I just google it because I'd rather not download any risky files anymore since my phone is ****ed up as it is right now. Thank you so much for answering my questions mate, you've been a great help though.

its the right 'spl' (its not an 'hspl', , , its an 'spl' ) for a tmous phone, ,
go get hspl2.exe from the hspl thread (or see links in my sig) run it, choose 1.66.0000 or 1.66.hspl
(unless you DO have a tmous? you haven't said, and its hard to tell if you're american or not, , you said 'cellphone', but alos 'shop' instead of store, so hard to tell, hehe)) , and i havent looked up the Pb81100 hx-bc code to check)

Oh my bad, I am from the Netherlands. Alright I'll try that, thanks for your help mate.
Alright, I got Windows Mobile running again. Thanks for that. Although my touch screen is still not working sadly enough.... Guess I'll have to pay a visit to a phonestore.
good to know for sure that 2.08.0000 prevents downgrading. confirmation is always useful.
Unlucky about the screen.

Please help me revive me 1 year dead phone!

Hi folks! Please help me! I killed tons of nerves because of this phone!
So here is my sad story. 1 Year ago i bought second hand HTC HD2. Seller told me that phone is locked to T-mobile(Not US one!! UK one!! Transaction was held in UK). After I got phone I rushed home to install Android and I was successful at this point. Then I bought a unlock code from ebay, so I Finally could make phone calls. Then I realized that the only way I can insert code is putting back WM 6.5. And here the worst part starts. I read hundreds of manuals but still was unsuccessful. I downloaded many official WM 6.5 ROM installers but they didn't flash my phone. They just got stuck at 0% and error pops up. I was trying it for a week and then I just raged and put phone to the shelf and was waiting til I get will power to start over again.
I hear that every phone needs its own ROM installer for particular region and operator but I couldn't find UK T-mobile ROM so used many others and it didn't help.
I also heard that by IMEI it is possible to find to what operator the phone is locked(just to check if seller didn't lie me) but again I didn't manage to do so.
Here is my IMEI 354120035834066
Please experts help me, little nooby, with this horrible situation.
thank you
Many people report that you can in fact put the code in under android after all,,,, perhaps its only earlier versions that couldn't. That being said you probably want to put a new one on since it (and magldr) will be old versions.
Anyway, all that hanging at 0% is because there is no hspl installed.
Plenty of places to get tmo stock rom,, go put
3.14 ruu Leo tmo uk
.....into Google. When I just did it the real htc site came up second.
Its not necessary, tho,,
Phone into bootloader,
connect USB
Use hspl4 to set 3.03.hspl
Return to bootloader
Flash any 3.14 rom USING USB,NOT SD CARD
Done.

Thank you, but always when I am trying yo install HSPL4 critical error comes up. I think it comes up because I have spl 2.1000000 which should be 2.08 I found information that in order to downgrade to 2.08 I need to flash official ROM. But when I am trying to do so it is always stuck on 0%...
I am so $%^& up ...
any ideas?.... thx
Does HSPL4 not allow you to install 3.03 to your device ?
