Morning.
Is there a method to revert back to an old SPL from 3.03.0000 ?
I have searched and searched but to no avail yet. I have tried HSPL2 and 3. I have read that applying a old stock from from SD card does not work either.
The situation is that my HD2 has come back from warantee repair (overheating/reboot issue) and is running SPL 3.03 with their stock rom. This means that I cannot run a lightweight windows rom and therefore cannot properly run my favourite Android rom(s).
I have read a few people in the same boat so thought I would create a new thread as I couldn't find one yet.
Thank you so much.
Yans.
Hello!
I've had this problem too. You have to flash an ORIGINAL ROM from HTC homepage for your device. You will need the serial number (under the battery) of your HD2. Flash the Original Rom that you downloaded from HTC. After this you will have the old SPL version on your HD2.

I think theres no normal way (means u cant downgrade official roms, without hspl) of downgrading. U have to use hspl, if it capable of removing the 3.03 spl. If HSPL2-3 cant do that, u have to wait for the new hspl.
Correct me if im wrong.
spl 3.03.0000
Hallo
Install the old original Htc Rom on your HD2 from your PC.

As i told u guys before. U cant install official roms via activesync. Theres only 1 way and that is HSPL.
U cant downgrade officials rom via activesync or sd card.

The only way is HSPl.
Hi.
Don't be fooled.
I have upgraded and downgraded, and upgraded and downgraded and upgraded again using only the .exe files downloaded from htc.com
Look at this post:

Let me check for you....
EDIT:
Just went back to spl-1.42.0000 by just flashing to 1.48 stock WWE rom.
So I guess you can go back to any rom easily.
Now flashing back to 3.14....

Copied that stuff from HTC.COM
Flashing without HSPL? Via activesync?

Of course you can downgrade.
What they mean is that your data is permanently lost. Nothing else.

Downloaded the Roms through the support part of HTC.com
Connect phone with activesync.
Run downloaded .exe
That's it.
Easy as that.
If HTC.com does not take your serial (IE branded phone) look at this topic for the new rom:

And here for older stock rom:

Well, i remember i tried to downgrade once, and i got a message, that i have newer rom, so it cant downgrade.
But i belive u, and still htc says its not possibile.
Thank you
Thank you everyone for your assistance. i am back on HSPL 2.08.
I already had the stock rom from HTC website because I put it on to send the phone back for repairs. I put this back on a moment ago and it put SPL 1.42 back on, PERFECT!
The only reason I didn't do this before (after reading other posts) is because when I did this initially (for sending the phone back) it didn’t touch the SPL but now I realise this was down to the fact it was running HSPL and not SPL.
So I have now incremented SPL 1.42 to HPSL 2.08 and running ChuchDroid for my lovely Android rom. Excellent.
Thank you all
Yans.
Go to your local HTC.com website,go to the support page,look for ROM upgrades for your device(HD2),if the old ROM is removed from the website you most probably wont be able to downgrade,now if you find there 2 ROM updates,say like 3.14.xxx and 166.XXX,chose the older version and enter your S/N if accepts its good to go
Hey guys. Im having this problem over at this thread: /showthread.php?t=814656
My problem is that Activesync does not detect my phone. So I can't downgrade.. But if I somehow get one of the official ROM's (say 1.48) and get the .nbh file onto the sd card, could that work?
YES I DID IT!! Multi card reader for the win!
Flashed WWE rom below but SPL still shows old one HSDL 1.42
Should it not upgrade to SPL 3.03?

it wont upgrade it whilst hspl is installed unless you flash from sd card.
will it upgrade when I revert back to SPL 1.42 or 1.66 with HSPL2 tool?

yes it should, but only if your phone is an unbranded wwe one, else it won't flash.
yeeyyyyyyy thank you so much guys...with your help i could get back to 1.42. from 3.03 now im gonna look for some nice wm and android roms thank you so so much guys you made my day
Great to know.
My HD2 died with an unresponsive touchscreen, whilst having hspl 1.42 on.
I got the latest ROM off HTC with my serial, flashed with EXE but HSPL was not overwritten, so I thought that flashing through activesync didn't upgrade the SPL.
Hence I flashed latest rom via microSD and I got the SPL 3.03 there, sure that there was a HSPL for that too.
When I realized there wasn't, I was left with the nightmare of getting back from warranty a bloathed system I couldn't get back to operating conditions.
Now I discover that all it takes to downgrade SPL 3.03 is running the official exe for your device off an older ROM.
Nice.

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?

Then that isn't your stock rom. (Although you didnt say why it didnt work, , ) if its teh right rom it will work
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?
ahh ok, already on spl 3.03, my mistake then.
I installed the newest ROM upgrade from HTC and now the ROM shows 64 MB for the working area and the phone keeps giving the eroor that the workspace is too full. After installing the latest Artemis v42 it was solved and back to 100 something Mb. After some locks, reboots, hard resets etc I installed v42 again and now this version has the same problem only 64 Mb workspace.
I have a european HD2 with Vodafone. And I am using a dualsim adapter with a KPN sim included as well.
The SiMore software from the adapter might be the problem.
Kan anybody help me
you have hspl still installed. 3.14 roms must have spl 3.03 or you will have trouble.
the hspl/3.14/memory issue is well documented in dozens of threads.

Thnx. is there a simple guide what to do from here. been searching finding a lot but which one. I'm the amateur I know.
if there is a stock 3.14 for your phone....
run hspl2, choose 1.66.0000
flash the 3.14 rom. usb is fine.
if you have a branded and there is no stock 3.14, thenyou need a goldcard.
if you aren't bothered for 3.14 and want to play with the non 3.14 cooked roms, just flash one. hspl is already installed.look in the rom development thread, at the top there are only 2 or three stickies, one is a list of the loads of threads that should be sticky but aren't cos they'd take up the whole front page.
a good evenings reading material.
Bootloader says: SPL-3.03.0000 XE
Ok but now what? Can anybody help me?
Hello,
I have HD2 device with HSPL version 1.42 (the one that allow to burn ROMs),
My question is, do I need to upgrade (if it's possible at all) to 2.10 ? or later?
what are the improvmants on the 2.10 or 2.08 HSPL ?
What is the latest version and how can I know what suits my device?
Thanks
Felix
no, there is no need unless you want to. all non 3.x roms will work on any non 3.03 spl/hspl.
people recommend matching spl to rom, but no one has shown any evidence that it makes a difference.
if you do have a play, go with hspl2. its more useful and user friendly than hspl3. hspl3 is for tmous mainly.
Thanks,
How can I know what ROM do I have?
What is the differance between 1.42 & 2.10 ?
Hello,
you do not need the HSPL for ROM 3.14.
Creates a test GoldCard.
You will see it works very well:
You can put the latest version of the ROM even on a 3.14 HD2 Pack (SFR, Etc. ..) and without HardSPL.
Then do as I installed the ROM example ARTEMIS V43.

the spl has some low level interactions with the radio and phone hardware (or something, im not technical)
If they want, the creator can add new instructions/commands to the spl which can be accessed by the rom/phone/radio (again, im kinda making this up, hehe)
However, i have personally run several roms for extended periods, ranging from 1.43, 1.66 and my main cooked rom, based on 2.13, and i have run them all on all three hspls, 1.42.hspl, 1.66.hspl and 2.08.hspl. I have also removed hspl after the flash and run the same roms on 1.42.0000 1.66.0000 and 2.08.0000, with zero noticeable difference.
Things changed with the 3.x roms. I don't know why, but 3.x roms won't run on any spl other than 3.03.0000 (so far) so obviously there have been changes.
Basically, for you, use hspl2 (forget hspl3, the code is the same, only the options changed, and they're not as usefull to regular hd2 owners) and in general you will use 2.08.hspl or 1.66.hspl and if you want to go back to stock some time, use hspl2 again and go for 1.66.0000.
If you want 3.14 roms, or cooked roms based on 3.14, its either get a stock 3.14 for your device, or use a goldcard to get spl3.03.0000 then SSPL to switch different 3.14 roms.
Sorry posted in wrong thread
I moved it to the correct GoldCard thread
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!!)

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.
