Long story short, i was working on a new bootloader for HD2 and was testing the functioning of smem and my memory binaries, they seem good but i chose the wrong address to test them on. The address i picked was 0x0000219 which is actually the SPL partition. Now call it my luck or whatever, the only thing i damaged was the HTC logo during flash. So i've decided to flash a stock ROM through sdcard to replace SPL and also fix bad blocks which have developed after countless hours of developing and testing and flashing on HD2, Before i go on and update to an official SPL (ofc im running 2.08HSPL to be able to include a custom compiled ARM binary)
As i've read in some posts, once i upgrade to an OSPL (official) > 2 i will never be able to downgrade, no matter what. The stock SPL which came in with my device was 1.66 and i flashed 2.08HSPL to it.
1) What SPL is included in the official 3.14 WM6.5 ROM ?
2) Will i be able to downgrade to like 1.66 (My Stock) or install 2.08HSPL with it ? and if yes then how ?
I write here cause, i don't want to join the "Bricked my phone" club
I'm not sure about downgrading to 1.66, since I use TMOUS, but returning to HSPL shouldn't be a problem. The newer HSPL4 installer reads as follows:
1) To install this HSPL there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000
SPL 1.62.0000
SPL 1.66.0000
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
SPL 3.03.0000
I've repeatedly switched between 2.10.0000 and 2.08.HSPL with no problems.
BTW, I'm suffering from bad block problems and reverting to stock by SD method did nothing to fix mine. If you figure out a better way I'd love to hear it!
1) 2.08-2.10 for EU and 3.03 on TMOUS.
2) Yes, using HSPL4 you'll be able to downgrade and flash HSPL from official SPL's

Wrong, there are NO EU roms that use 2.x spl. The EU spl path jumped from 1.66.0000 to 3.03.0000
Only tmous stock roms use spl 2.x

1 3.03.0000

Yes, Sam is quite correct!

Also, just to clarify, the current stock SPL for tmo is 3.03, so if you're flashing stock for RMA or something like that on you're on tmo you can flash the 3.14 ROM with 3.03 SPL and be fine.
For Android/WP7 to function, you must be on HSPL 2.08

if im in the us where can i find this version to down load it. i cant track it down on htc support.
spl comes as part of stock roms.
assuming you have a tmous?
if so, any rom that includes 1.42.0000 spl will brick your phone permanently.
care to give more detail what you are trying to achieve, including your phone model?
i have the htc hd2
screen after teh volume reset is
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.10.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50
its how i have it since i bought it i havent done the update that has been released by t-mobile yet. Id like to get it to where i can flash other roms on it but its at 2.10.0000 and of course wehn i run the program to put HSPL on there it tells me i need first SPL 1.42.0000. any advice would help
i think there are different hspl designed for each spl is
okay, take carefull note of this
you have a 'tmous' or 't mobile us' version of the hd2.
This is important, you WILL kill your phone if you try to flash ANY official rom other than those for the tmous.
You don't need spl 1.42.0000, you need spl 2.08.0000, and that will allow you to use hspl1024 (see in my sig)
go to '[ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS' thread in the tmous rom development thread,
find and download rom 2.10.0
connect to usb, run the .exe, let it install, and voila, , , your spl is now 2.08.0000 and hspl1024 will now work.
You are currently in the regular hd2 section, you do not have a regular hd2, you should bookmark THIS and do all your rom finding, etc. there.
Apps, and themes from teh regular hd2 section will work fine on your tmous, but not roms, and especially not radios.
When picking a rom, be sure that the chef has marked it as 'tmous compatible'. If you aren't sure, don't bother.
all is good
i think i made a huge mistake..anyway i'm a noob (still)...so this is my story:
i flashed succesfully wp7 on my hd2 ..so i didn't liked it and i decided to go back on wm6.5 and flashed with a stock rom with 1.42 spl...
now i'm trying again to flash hspl so i can have a cooked rom like before but it gives me an error...it says that i need spl 1.42 in order to do that...but when i flashed the stock rom the spl remained 2.08 and it looks like this:
spl-2.08.hspl 8g XE
cotulla HSPL 0x05 0x40
can anyone help me?
now i made it with hspl2. i have spl 1.42 hspl but i can't flash a custom rom or radio :error code 240?
fix robotic voice running android 2.2 via sd card.
running andriod 2.2 via sd seemed to work ok apart from the robotic voice during calls i'm led to believe that you need to change the radio version which opened up whole new kettle of fish
Tried to install HSPL, which it wont because it requires spl version 1.42 to install HSPL
Can anyone shed any light on how this is done without bricking the phone permanently? or is there a better way to ultimately run android 2.2 from the sd card.
current spec
os 5.2.21913
rom 3.14.405.2

alternatively run hspl and choose your stock spl from there.

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?!?!!?!?

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 ΒΆ
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?
Can anyone link me to an official Rom where the SPL version 2.08. I need it to flash HSPL and install Android. My current SPL is 2.10. I have a TMOUS HD2
