Radio Version 2.10.50.26
Protocol version 15.39.50.07U

Im having the same problem with HTC HD2 which is not Tmobile but same problem after flashing Energy ROM to it.. can flash anythin to it =(

I get the same problem with a friends one. Tries to flash then says failed. Also is very hard to boot after this, usually takes about 5 or 6 attempts.
I have managed to flash hspl3 onto it (apparently) but nothing else works, not even task29 they all fail. Anyone any ideas?

Guys,
You need at least SPL 2.08.HSPL in order to do task 29, flash radio and flash ROM, MAGLDR. Otherwise it will fail.
Please re check your version of HSPL installed.
Cheers

Only magldr requires a specific hspl, (2.08.hspl), radio, task 29, roms, should flash under any hspl
So long as in bootloader the spl ends .hspl, they should flash.(except magldr)
@ other posters,,, try flashing your phones CORRECT stock rom from SD card, take note of the radio line, , could be stuck radio, and /or heating problems (especially the Guy saying it takes 5 or 6 tries to boot)

[Q] HD2 Completely locked down

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:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-3.03.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again
USB
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.

[Q] Why Can't I Update My HD2's ROM Back To The Official One!?!?!?!

My phone is running on
OS VERSION:5.2.23569
MANILA VERSION:2.5
ROM VERSION:Cruzer 5th WWE
Radio Version:2.15.50.14
I've had enough of using the Cruzer 5th rom already and wish to update back to the normal Official HTC ROM. I've downloaded the RUU_Updates for both 1.66 and 3.14 and both have failed in updating the phone's ROM.
The problem is that once my cpu has detected the phone.
The phone will then reset and get's stuck on the screen which has a few colors.(The one we use to check our HD2's flash version like HSPL). Then the loader on the screen of my CPU will be stuck at 0%. And guess what...before you know it...the entire operation will cancel and it will say that its not able to update my ROM. What on earth? Please help me. I'm only not able to update back to the official rom software. Apart from that,the other cooked roms which have been made available for download from the other users can be used to update my rom.
I need help. Please help me. Thank You! i look forward to your solutions!!!
You can use other roms and if you look/use the search option your answeres are here somewhere
could be a stuck radio rom, there have been several examples where the radio prevents spl and radio (and hence stock roms) from flashing.
try your CORRECT stock rom from sd card flash, if that fails its either
1 - not actually your correct stock rom or
2 - you are flash stuck. no clue how you would solve that.

I had the same problem like u 2day. All I did was instaling SPL-3.03.HSPL
At first I had two options like SPL-3.03 or SPL-3.03.HSPL to instal, that first one was making the problem that you writing of, but after I instaled SPL-3.03.HSPL I can instal other roms.

I know you said you downloaded the two ROM's from the HTC website. I don't know if you have a TMOUS HD2 then I suggest downloading the official upstream ROM from the T-Mobile website it is the 3.14 ROM.
I think what has happen to you is you had a bad flash and if you flash the 1.66 ROM first then you changed your SPL and now you don't have the correct split to flash the flash the 3.14 ROM. I recomemd you download and use HSPL 4 to change your SPL to SPL 3.03.0000 then try to flash the update ROM. Or you could flash it via your SD card that should force the changing of your SPL with out you doin yourself. JUst my thoughts on the situation.

Software Update Failed - uninstalling HSPL

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.

[Q] I am truly stumped........(Won't flash)

So the short version of the beginning of the story, my phone became radio blocked after I HSPL3 before upgrading to a better radio. I followed these instruction to get it back to the shipped ROM.
The problem......I am at the end of the instructions where it is back to the test ROM that the OP states in the above linked thread:
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.02.531.MASD_S__Radio_Signed_15 .29.50.07U_2.06.50.04_TeleNav-5.5.42.zip
It turns on normally and works, but it is SPL-2.00.1000 and it will only allow me to go up to SPL-2.02, buit not above that. (So I cannot load my shipped rom) When I try to do any ROM above that it get's me stuck at the Loading Screen or if on the comp it gets stuck at 0%
I am TMOUS and I have looked all over this website a thousand times and can't find any answers.......This is not my first round with the HD2 as I used this website to HSPL3 my other one run Energy rom and macfroyo 1.8.
Any help is appreciated...
Can you not flash the 2.03 or 2.05 ROM? Just to reiterate though.
Do not flash the 2.01 ROM from that thread as it will brick your HD2.
It let me flash 2.03 but not 2.05

What SPL does that rom have with it? Go to bootloader to see what SPL you have after you flash the 2.03 ROM.
After I flash the 2.03 it says 2.02.0000

Ok you still do not have a SPL version that you can flash HSPL with. So do this I know you said it will not let you flash the 2.05 ROM so go to the 2.07 ROM and flash it, if it will ledt you flash that ROM check your SPL. If it is not a SPL that is in the list I posted below then move to the very next ROM wich is 2.09 and then check the SPL after flashing it. Keep doing this until you flash a ROM that gives you one of the SPLs in the list below then you can flash HSPL and then flash a custom ROM or the official update ROM from T-Mobile.
SPL 1.42.0000
SPL 1.62.0000
SPL 1.66.0000
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
Okay, so I have tried every ROM and every one of them except 2.02 and 2.03 get stuck at the loading screen.
In the list of roms in that thread, the last entry in the list is hspl edited to work with spl 2.0 did you try that yet?
Sam is talking about this ROM "HSPL with MFG SPL 2.00 support" in that thread.
Okay so I was able to flash the HSPL on the 2.02 and then got it to the most recent update for TMOUS. I then put energy ROM on there and MattcFroyo1.8 desire android on there. This is the same exact set-up on my other HD2, but I am now having trouble with getting the phone to be consistant. I was able to boot the ENRG and Froyo, but after 10-20 minutes it froze. I can get ENRG to boot most the the time, but other times it comes to the boot screen and freezes, or it will come to the boot screen and vibrate 3x's and freeze. Not sure what to do at this point.

The three vibrations is not a good sign, it is a sign that something in the hard ware is malfunctioning.

[Help] Stock Cingular Rom

Have looked around but cannot find a stock Cingular HTC Titan (Eternity ?) rom. Previous thread hosted by Football is defunct.
Can anyone please point me to Stock Singular HTC Titan rom?
I am trying to uninstall HSPL ( I am at the dreaded 2.5 SPL, ATT Titan 1) and need this stock rom to try to revert back to 1.0 SPL.
For my ATT HTC Titan I, I debranded, SPL, HSPL and it says HSPL is there on the Phone's SPL screen - but I cannot use any custom rom that uses Radio 17. Only radio 16 works.
Thanks
my SPL screen shot
My SPL screen shot is attached below
BTW, anyone see any issues with the SPL screen above?
I am unable to run any rom that needs radio 17.

There is nothing wrong with your phone; in fact there are many here who would give their life to own your phone. For many of the custom ROMs here you have to flash "radio 16" with radio 17. If you have not done this then your phone will be stuck at the HTC logo on startup. You have "gold" in your hands and you don't know it.

locky you, have hspl 2.5, if you want change my divece for your divece....... what you said? :angel:
Guys, I have tried the roms listed here on this site that also have the associated radio files as well But everytime I install a custom ROM, with the radio 17, my phone stops at th e HTC logo and never moves from it.
Also, I cannot update the SPL 2.6 from HTC now - it always stays at SPL 2.5
My only need is to unlock my phone so that I do not have to keep enterting the unlock code everytime the phone restarts. I have bought the unlock code from ebay and it does work, but have to keep entering it after every boot cycle.
I found the cingular Eternity 1.0 ROM, installed it - but the SPL continues to remain @ SPL 2.5 with the HSPL info as is on the SPL screen.

"Lund123" I need you to listen to me for a moment...if your device is stuck at the HTC logo on startup, your radio is incompatible with the ROM on the device. If you have already flashed the custom ROM and it requires you flash the radio it will be with the entire package you downloaded. I use Eburon 2.1; the radio and ROM are separate and both must be flashed from bootloader mode. To use Eburon you must flash the radio that comes with it. Your device is HSPL; it needs no further tinkering with. The custom ROMs can be flashed at will. One warning, a return to official stock ROMs will likely re-lock your phone. The goal of these threads are to achieve what you apparently don't realize; you are HSPL. It is not automatic for many of us to achieve this; HSPL opens your device in a way that can only be described a dream. You're lucky! Flash the radio separately from the bootloader; it's no different than flashing the ROM. In regards to having to re-enter a code; it appears your device may not be subsidy (carrier) unlocked or there is a security lock put on the device which it will ask before it launches the OS. That may require you running what a few of us in the old days did with our HD2s and Rhodiums...perform a task 29, but you may need a deeper "wipe" something akin to a low-level format on a PC.
"berrywr": I get that HSPL is already on the phone, and I am grateful for that. But I believe, I have loaded both the custom rom + radio that comes with it with no positive results.
I have tried the Dynamics ROM (as an example) and the Radio that comes with tit. First I flased the ROM uising the bootloader method. Then I repeated the same for the Radio. Same results, stuck on HTC logo. I have used the RUU program that it comes with to load the roms. I even have tried using the GOLDCARD for these roms, but same results. And Yes, I get it that I need to install the rom first and then the radio that comes with the package. Interestingly, my Radio on the SPL screen never changes to Radio 17, it always stayed 16 (like in the image posted on the 2nd message, I have never seen it read Radio 17.xxx).
Thanks

It's possible you have the radio glitch where the radio does not change after flashing. Have you tried searching the Titan thread, to see if anybody else has mentioned the problem? I know I swear I've seen this happen to other users...I will do a search tonight to see if I can find anything.
I have looked around and most of the folks are having trouble getting the HSPL to load, my problem has not been stated elsewhere that I could find. I for some reason have the HSPL but I cannot do the following:
1. Cannot use the HSPL program to revert back (uninstall HSPL). When I tried to install OSPL from within the program it errors out.
2. If I install any other radio than 16, it does not take affect - the update goes successfuly, but the SPL screen shows radio 16
3. I cannot install the SPL 2.6 from HTC - it does not take affect. The SPL screen still shows 2.5. Since I cannot have SPL 2.6, I am unable to get some OS updates.
Will keep looking. RUU and goldcard programs - both working properly but result in same outcomes.
