Anyone please confirm I am thinking right?
Here’s what I did:
1.From T-mobile.cz I got the factory Czech T-Mobile Rom (*.exe)
2. I extracted the *.exe with WinRar and got a bunch of files.
3. I took out RUU_Signed and extracted it with NBHtool and got 4 *.NB files:
769.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
SPL.nb
Windows.nb
4. In the meanwhile I extracted my original reconstructed Dutch T-Mobile RUU_Signed.nbh (confirmed working) and took the Windows.nb
5. From the Czech *.nb files I deleted the windows.nb and replaced it with my Dutch windows.nb
6. With htcRIE 0.5.0.12 I put the three Czech NB’s:769.nb (suppose radio), PrimarySplash.nb and SPL.nb together with The Dutch windows.nb together in New RUU_signed.nbh.
7. I put the newly created RUU_Signed back into the folder with files from step 2.
8. Using Winrar I stuffed ala these files together in an *.sfx file that has an instruction saying that after extracting the sfx it should start RomUpdateUtility.
9. So far so good! I clicked the sfx and it would nicely extract and start the Czech RomUpdateUtility. The utility being Czech is no problem as I/we have been using it probably a sillion times and don’t read it.
10. Now I don’t have the guts to test it on my Dutch MDA Vario IV JJ but want to know wether this would work in case of RMA.
I remember that the Dutch factory ROM-upgrade for T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser) would restore everything: SPL, Splash etc) By doing the above I somehow think I have re-created sort of a Dutch “factory” ROM upgrade that will restore everything back to stock.
Suppose this works, will I be able to go back to Hard SPL a second time? (heard some rumors...)
I want you guys to know that I don’t have any education in ICT but consider myself smart enough to figure things like this out . However… I am not too sure about what I have created.
Thnx. For any kind of feedback.
Am willing to upload this for people who want to try.
Free Rapidshare (10 downloads) if needed I will put it in my FTP.
Was it not in The raphael original shipped ROM wiki?
Also if it would help, I think I still have the files backed up at home somewhere. If you want I could look for it.

It was but when reading the thread that goes with it I get serious doubts about that one working well
I have them backed up as well but I never dumped the splash, radio and more important the SPL. and everyone is talking about SPL's lately but no one can answer me wether one of the offered solutions is a working one.
So I was thinking to sort of creating a oneclick solution for whenever a RMA occures to me again
Was this a dumb question?

If you were able to download a factory ROM directly from your Carrier's website, then it would include everything you need to return your device to stock.
Then, all you would have to do is follow the instructions in the Hard-SPL thread to install the stock SPL (if you've flashed Hard-SPL), and then re-flash the factory ROM you downloaded to restore the original SPL.

There is no Dutch T-Mobile factoryrom.. that is the first thing I checked of course even before I had my first Vario IV at home.
And I still think somehow to remember that flashing the stock T-Mobile to my old Kaiser did flash the stock SPL as well... however I am starting to have doubts now..
Besides I haven't found anyone yet confirming that the Stock T-Mobile SPL from the Stock SPL thread actually works...
And the thingy I created should flash back stock radio and splash.. would you know of any safe way to test this Captain_Throwback??

I don't know of any "safe" way, no. I have no confidence that the Stock SPL from the stock SPL thread will work, either - that's why I had that thread closed. After you flash the stock SPL from the Hard-SPL thread, you risk bricking your phone if you try flashing a created ROM to it (even if it is created from parts of stock ROMs).
If you have a stock SPL on the phone, its possible that the extracted SPLs from that thread will actually work; but I'm already on my second phone, so I'm not willing to risk trying it.

That's my issue since tuesday I am dealing with my second raph as well the other one was only a couple of weeks old. The mobo burned and they were not able yet to recover anything. But I have set my goals on a working recoverymethod.
Too bad you had your thread closed as it was going somewhere good. and people not reading or trying unconfirmed things take their own risks as this is a development area.
Would you reconsider asking NATF to reopen it and change the topicname?

Well, I think any future conversation on the whole "flashing back to stock" can be carried on in JZ SmartMort's thread with the instructions on how to do that. He also explains in there why none of the SPLs that I extracted will ever overwrite Hard-SPL. Unless Olipro or cmonex enlighten us on how they were able to modify that 1.90 SPL to overwrite the Hard-SPL, that's the only one that'll ever work.
I did see you posted in that thread, but I think if you really NEED a different SPL than one that's in an existing stock ROM, that if you PM Olipro or cmonex, one of them may be able to help you.

It does but it's for MDA Compact IV, aka Touch Diamond... but still am going to look what's inside
edit: cewl it had the splash I wanted inside.
Had the guts to flash...
...and it works. Exept from SPL...
Next step will be flashing this after OLi en cmonex' only for warranty SPL 1.90..
Just wonder wether I will be able to flash back to Hard SPL after this....
Anuone has an idea??

If you're able to successfully flash your Franken-ROM w/stock SPL to your phone after flashing the 1.90 warranty SPL, your phone still works, and you can connect to a computer using Activesync or Mobile Device Center, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to re-flash Hard-SPL onto your device. The key words in that sentence are "if" and "successfully" . . .

Yep...
those are the keywords
here is the thing from the start.
a friend of mine bought a HD2 from hong-kong.
after installing a cab file for hebrew support the device wont go up.
hard reset to the device didnt help.
so i thought i should hspl the device and then flash the new nrg rom.
after i did hspl from version 1.66 i made a ROM FLASH BEFORE RADIO FLASH.
anyways the NRG system refused to go up then i made radio upadte and tried flash again to NRG rom but the flash keep stucking in the middle every time.
i got stucked with the error cable code in bootloader menu.
flashed from sd the newest ROM 3.14.405.2 still nothing changed still with error and now without the HSPL.
is there anything else i missed?
JUST TRIED TASK29..afte 4% stopped with messege not allowed
Welcome to the dark side,I did the same thing,I followed someones advice and flashed the official 3.14 from the SD card,now I am stuck at the bootloader with SPL 3.03.
Lots of peaople here have become bummers asking for a new HSPL but the smart guys seem to be turning a deaf ear.
try to flash earlier official rom e.g 1.66 rom not from sd card but with the pc

Holy h*t...
Are you freaking crazy?
You MUST NOT flash a original ROM from SD card... That will overwrite the hardspl...
If you guys follow the RTFM tradition before do something you don't understand, then that would not happen...
Now you have to wait until a new hardspl is released...
Maybe you should do a task 28/29 and flash 3.14 with RUU.
Before you guys do another stupid thing... Don't try a "task 2a".
Maybe it don't brick your device, but it also will not help.

tried mtty42.1 task 29 and task 28 55aa
still no hope.
What should task 55aa do? In my opinin it should flash everthing except the radio. Right?
What kind of HD2 sells HK? Is it an ordinary 512MB one?
Is this an original HTC? I know the chinese people does not like originals, they like to sell their own not working but nearly original looking phones...
Look at this Touch Diamond
What happens if you install the latest HSPL (2.08)?
Is it possible to flash a new SPL (does not matter if original or not)
What kind of Radio do you have actual on your Phone?
Many regards

it is the orginal,he bought the phone with the wwe_asia 1.66 rom with english and chinese.
as i said tried to flash to 1.66 and again with new 3.16. but still getting not allowed.
task 28 55aa should format the device but some say its working only in case of hspl.
and since my phonw now got the 3.03 spl i guess its not possible.
correct me if im wrong but my only optios seems to be jtag which cost here in some labs about 150$...
Oh my god... What shoudl I do with you?...
I don't want to brick my HD2 to try something for you...
But... Did you know something about a "Goldcard" method?
If not I will help you to create one. On other phones the Goldcard allows to flash ROMs from another Provider... For example you have a Vodafone ROM and want a Stock HTC ROM... Normally this should not work. With a Goldcard it does...
Maybe you have an old microSD Card which we can use?!
Maybe we can also try to flash it with SSPL. Did you try this, too?
I never used SSPL, maybe it did not work in Bootloder mode, but we will se this when we try it

I know how it feel when the own phone is broken.
My first HD2 was overrun by a car... And it takes me 5 month to repair it, because I can't get a keypad ribbon...
And my second HD2 is not really broken... My girlfriend loaned it two weeks ago for one week. She still has is, because she like the Android OS on it and until now she won't give it back to me. Now I have to wait until my Desire HD arrives me
What should I say... Women...
But... PPP works very well for her operator (BASE) on Android, I've interruptions every 5 minutes and I can be lucky if I can reconnect after each disconnect
Back to topic...
@coneman23:
I'll hope you've flashed a 2.**.50 radio (for e.g. 2.12.50) not a 2.**.51.
I've noticed, that those radios do not work with some ROMs.
Crusoe86 redirected me here.
is there actually a way to fix this?
maybe with goldcard and official 1.48 rom?
Here I am...
You could try HSPL3 to revert back to an older SPL. Maybe that works...
And you can try older Stock ROMs like the 1.48 (from SD card (I use an old one when I flash my HD2, maybe thats is more compatible like newer SDHC cards)).
Andhopefully it replaces the new SPL.
But I would try the Goldcard method or try to boot SSPL from bootloader mode...
My girlfriend has my HD2 actually. I can't try anything

I dont know how to make a goldcard, so i cant make one.
I recommend that you try this (found in your thread).
If that does not work, we can make a Goldcard.
It is not very difficult, but this solution in your thread seems to be easier if it works.
can somebody please help me, I have flashed 5 different ROM's to my vodafone HD2 and have encountered a varying degree of problems with each one. I would very much like somebody to tell me where I can get a Stock ROM not locked to any carrier so I can reflash my pretty usless fone or indeed to help direct me to a stable cooked ROM that would allow my fone to work again.
Thanks is advance.
P.s - my first post so please be gently, also the last 3 I have tried are Artemis ROM's with no sucessful outcomes.

[Q] htc hd2 stock rom 6.5.3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is no stock rom that is 6.5.x They are all 6.5
Not sure what you mean by stock rom not locked to a carrier, , do you mean a non branded rom (the ones marked HTC WWE, look HERE or in the various threads in the rom development section.) or do you mean you want to unlock your phone to use any network? in which case no amount of any kind of flashing will do that. Ask voda for a code, or buy one online.
Sounds to me like you need to return all the way to stock and start over. Get any of the voda roms from that link above (theyre marked vodaphone, you cant miss em, theres a 1,43 one, a 1.66 one ((if you're a brit)) or 1.72 if you have a european language voda.
Get that, and either
1 - remove hspl by running hspl.exe and choosing 1.66.0000
then
2 - run the downloaded rom.exe and flash over usb
or
1 - extract ruu_signed.nbh from the rom.exe you downloaded,(look it up if you dont know how) copy it to a formatted fat32 sd card smaller than 8gb, and rename it leoimg.nbh then start the phone into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to flash.
that way you are back to teh start, and you can apply hspl and start again.
(For people reading this thinking 'he didnt say do a task29',, its my understanding that using the official .exe to flash the rom does a task 29 anyway, and its been edited out of customruu.exe so it can be used to flash radios without wiping the rom,,,correct? yes no?)
I try 6 Rom but noone will work fine
Vodafone rom 1.72
I am not looking to unlock the fone, simply find a Rom that is 6.5.3 that is stable. I have just flashed back to voda 1.72 but that is 6.5, im fussy and don't like the start button at the top. I'm in scotland so need something that will work here ok on vodafone.
I was hoping to find a rom that had not been altered and as such an original (Stock) ROM.
your help is much appreciated.
There are no such stock roms for the HD2. If you want to flash a stable rom in the style you like (start button at the bottom) then you will need to HSPL (search the forum) your phone and I suggest you start with Dutty's rom. It's very stable and as close to stock as can be. You can always flash back to an original rom for warranty reasons if you need to.
tnx, trying one now. fingers crossed.
ok, just flashed one of duttys roms but now my phone will not boot, it turns on and stays at the htc splash screen. Wont turn off have to pull out the battery. If it will not boot how can I re-flash it? Any suggestions?
did you flash hspl? you will also need the newer radio 2.15.50_04

I hope you did some reading before you flashed!!
Put your phone into bootloader by holding the vol down side key and use a pen to push the little reset button when the back cover is removed. You should get a tri colour screen which shows you the hspl version you have. If you do this you can flash the correct radio which is probably why the phone will not boot.
all I have done previously is downloaded .nbh files and used SSPL_RUU.exe to flash and they have all flashed sucessfully, but with the after effects of either connection problems or freezing issues.
I have managed to re-flash to the vodafone 1.72 software so at least it is working again, this is not by any means where my talents lie. im a hardware guy, not software, so finding this all a bit confusing. I may just go with the artemis v33 rom which seemed to work the best apart from occassion signal dropouts.
Just out of curiosity - which hspl and radio are you using?
in the settings it says radio 2.07.51.22-2 and i believe the hspl was 1.42

There are some steps which you need to do:
- read into the threat of installing HSPL
it explains everything in a logical manner.
HSPL is needed to install a custom ROM
- read into how to install a new RADIO version and look which RADIO you need (wrong version can corrupt your installation)
- read into how to install custom ROMS. A few good ones are Miri & Dinik v19, Artemis and some other stable and fast ROMs with some eye candy
But you wished you hadent change to HD2? Why is that? I truely think its the best phone out there atm. You can have custom ROMS, Andriod/WP7/Ubuntu/W95 or 98 and Meego ports on your SD card wich work almost as a native system. There is no phone with that much OS options. Soon there will be a native Andriod install in the NAND of the phone. This phone is hardly restricted from modivying, I would say not at all. Which you cant say from other phone brands or the IPhone which in my eyes is like driving a Ferarri with a Driver and a communist with a gun (Steve Gay Jobs) in your neck .. it sucks like hell and your scared to death they'll brick you if you modivy something which you bought and can be considerd your possesion. The urge of controll pushed by Apple makes me sick and avoide buying any Apple products.

thats not nessecary when you update the stock rom, HTC updates those mods in their new updates so its not neccesary. If you continue searching you prolly will find some cabinets (WM6 installing packages what will change it for you.

Sir if you mean with "the updated rom from htc" = stock ROM 3.14 you need to know that stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL. (remove HSPL!)
hi,thats the rom thats already on the phone at the moment,ive only installed hspl2 on the phone and not tried any custom roms yet,if i install another rom on the phone do i need to install a new radio version also.
sorry if i sound stupid but im new to this phone & im finding it very confusing

There are no stupid questions, only the response can be stupid (Ow that's mean's me )
Okay lest start from the beginning.
In case you have a T-Mous device you can ignore my previous communication about HSPL.
But in case your devise isn't a T-Mous device; than you need to remove HSPL.
HSPL in combination with stock ROM 3.14 gives you only +/- 50MB of free program memory and gives lot of issue.
So in this case you need to remove HSPL before install stock ROM 3.14.
In case you use stock ROM 3.14 on a non T-Mous device you can't use HSPL so that means your radio version will stay 2.15.50.14.
Hope with this information it's more clear for you.
hi,the htc hd2 i have was originally on vodafone but the phone is unlocked to take any sim card now,i installed the very latest rom update on htc site which was the vodafone rom,the only rom it would allow me to install with my serial number,ive done nothing else but install hspl2.

In your case you have a branded device, and HSPL isn't working well in combination with stock ROM 3.14 you need to use the GoldCard Technique to be able to install 3.14 stock ROM correctly.
@Kurt unless by 'the latest from the site' he means the 1.66/1.72 rom,,,, he never mentioned 3.14,,,, in which case all the 3.14 vs hspl talk is just confusing the issue. He said he flashed the rom THEN installed hspl2, meaning it cant be the 3.14 rom, because hspl wouldn't have installed.
@OP enter bootloader, look by 'spl'.
If it says 1.xx.0000 or 2.xx.0000 or 1.xx.hspl or 2.xx.hspl then you can flash anything,. rom or radio, cooked or stock,(plus hspl2, of course) but not 3.14 roms. (You will get the 50MB issue kurt mentioned running a 3.14 rom on any of those.)
If it says 3.03.0000 then you can flash 3.14 based roms using SSPL.
Oh, and re: the warranty, , , once you have flashed the rom (forget 3.14 for now) you can immediately remove hspl using hspl2.exe, voila, warranty restored.

network lock completely unconnected to rom locked. even once it's unlocked, it is still rom locked, and the opposite is also true, applying hspl to a network locked phone will not allow other sims to be used.

No, you can flash it over ActiveSync.
About stock ROM; with aria ROM do you have? do you have a branded device?
SPL - 3.03 and ROM 3.14... Affecting installation for W7?
I have noticed that I have the same problem with my HD2 6.5
I have on it:
SPL-3.03.0000
ROM version - 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
What my main concern is however, is whether you think it's possible for me to install Windows 7 on this model or do I have to go to an older ROM and SPL version to achieve this.
Any help greatly appreciated thank you

Ass for I know, to be able to install WP7 ROM on your HD2 you will need HSPL. And probably you know it already, but stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL, so yes you need to downgrade your stock ROM before.

To get back to your original SPL, you will need to do it using SD card method. If you use Activesync method, it will only upgrade the SPL and won't downgrade.
similar problem on my HD2
Thanks for the heads up, I did as suggested before...
So..
1. I got ROM 1.66 with Radio 15.30.50 from HTC forum and installed in order to downgrade my ROM
2. After that I flashed HSPL2 and selected SPL-2.08.HSPL
(After this it showed phone was hacked successfully and after it rebooted I can't get past the hanging white screen)
3. I *ignored this* then switched off phone and got into boatloader again and ran MAGLDR112 and the RUU loaded up to 100% and booted up but again it still hangs at the white screen stopping at the htc logo. That's when I thought probably step 2 was where I had hit a problem...
4. After a couple of attempts I decided to put it back to the 1.66 I got from HTC forum so I can use phone for the meanwhile
- I have been following the threads, and a lot of people seem to suggest that the white screen is something to do with having the wrong radio version. (Do you share the same thoughts or have I gone completely wrong elsewhere in your opinion?)
- And if it is a radio issue which do you think goes best with the MAGLDR112 and LEO70-ROM
- If someone could paste a link I'd be happy to follow it up
[Starting to feel like one of those people forum heads are not fond of for not reading and understanding enough]

Not right sir, even if you install stock ROM over ActiveSync it will upgrade and also downgrade your SPL version.

Stock ROM 1.66 have radio 2.07.51 integrated; but Android builds needs minimum radio 2.08.50 so before you install Android upgrade your radio.

You are right about that. I stand corrected. This was proven through my tests yesterday. In the past, with my Athena, it worked differently.

2.07.50 also worked fine for me for WinMO 6.5 (Energy), Darkstone SuperRam 1.5 and WP7. In fact WP7 NAND & Darkstone from SD ran fine with MAGLDR112.
Updated Radio solved problem

Worked like a charm. I put on Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14** from one of the threads and from then on I then put back SPL-2.08HSPL and then loaded MAGLDR112 and it allowed me to access bootloader and from there I loaded the DWI file for Windows 7. Everything became kinda self-explanatory after following your help... Awesome, Windows 7 rocks... Off to activate the live services...
