[Q] Is it possible to downgrade from SPL 3.03 to 2.08? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the 3.14 ROM with 3.03.000 SPL installed on my HD2
What I`m trying to do is Install NAND Android. But to do this I need HSPL 2.08.
I read through a lot of Forums indicating that this can only be done if you flash an older ROM to phone, hence overwriting the 3.03 SPL.
Tried downloading one of the older stock roms (1.66 and 1.48) and then attemped to flash via SD and through the .exe file directly.
Heres what happened:
----------------------
From the .exe file it boots to the tri color screen and then reaches the progress bar screen. However it sticks there and the errors out with a code : 294.
At first I thought it could be an incorrect ROM but I doublechecked it.
Through the SD method after the phone detects the .nbh file it comes back with a "28002 : Not allow" error message.
Have tried this with various types of Mem cards but no luck.
I then tried SSPL with 1.66 and 1.48 as the ROM and i got it to flash the ROM with no problems but the HSPL still sticks at 3.03. And thats expected since SSPL is like a one shot go at flashing a ROM different from your region.
Question : Since this isnt working, will a task 29 help in this case? From what I understand it formats the filesystem that holds the OS. By doing so, will I then be able to flash one of the older Roms so I can install HSPL 2.08? Not sure if this will actually help.
Not sure what exactly i`m doing wrong here.

simple, you're using the wrong rom. It isnt just any stock rom, its a stock rom that is correct for your phone you need. so for example if its locked to orange france, you would need the orange FRA rom, if the phone came from o2 uk its the WWE O2 UK rom you need.
dont be confused by a phone that has been sim unlocked, it would still be rom locked.

Hi.
Just did this yesterday.
All you have to do is check the version installed.
Mine was 3.14.479.2 which is Eastern Europe.
So i downloaded the 1.66.479.2 and flashed.this flashed the 1.48 spl..
So problem solved.
forgot to mention the 3.14 it the rom version.the rest is region specific : in my case 479.2 means eastern europe.This is important.
Fox example i tried to flash WWE:1.66.405.2 (France Bouygues) but no luck. 0% and then error.

same problem - may be we need HSPL for SPL 3.03.0000
I experienced the same problem. may be we need HSPL for 3.03, or it is already available - i dont know....
Can anybody reply / answer / help us all who are having 3.03 and want to run NAND Android on their device ? ? ?
Thanks in anticipation.

Problem can easily be solved by installing the correct previous stock rom.
For example if you have now the 3.14.405.x stock rom you need to use previous version 1.66.405.x Red numbers need to be the same.
You can download the stock rom's on the HTC webpage, ore take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283

thx i try it and i tell it

My HD2 is a Orange one, currently on ROM 3.14.61.2 (04666) WWE, and im trying to downgrade it...
however i cant for the life of me find a rom that will work on this phone, i need something like 1.66.61.2

So downgrading to HSPL 2.08 didn't work ?

Ahh, dont worry i have got it working now!!
look like i had an iffy usb cable which was stopping HSPL4 from connecting correctly.
All sorted and WP7 now running, though after all that i dont think i like it!!!

O2 XDA Star Original ROM?

Hi, i have to send my device to o2 Germany Service. Can please somebody tell me what Radio, Protocol and ROM Versions are shown on the startscreen by the original device?
Thx.
p.s. tried to use search, but found nothing...
p.p.s. really need help...
On mine it used to be this radio: 1.58.21.23
I am not sure about the system, but there is a thread for original Roms around here with a german o2 dump ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368284 ). That should be fine. Don't forget to get rid of the SPL too...
mblaster
sure, i've flashed original ROM and SPL, but this is what i've got on a bootscreen.
I dont think, it's ok...
You still seem to have radio version 1.71.09.01. Your phone should not work properly with that one (ok, obviously it doesn't anyway, but the service could notice that). This stock rom needs radio version < 1.65.x.y. So you need to do SPL again to flash the older radio.
Unfortunately I dont know the exact output on the bootscreen for a xda star that has never been flashed, but there may be variations in any case. I dont think the service will notice something if you have the right radio version, a stock rom and no "security unlocked" message in the bootscreen, perhaps someone can confirm this?

Thx, i'll try to flash older radio today, but what about "1iki"? Should it be there?
Ok, now i flashed it again. This is what i've got
P.S. Spl is 1.16.0000
Is it ok now? )
Hey guys,
thank you very much for the hint about the original German Windows Mobile 6.0 HTC Nike ROM.
I checked that one and it's working fine with HardSPL.
Nevertheless I wasn't satisfied yet so I was looking for an updated ROM and I was successful.
I found an original Windows Mobile 6.1 German ROM and that one is working fine as well.
Due to the fact I hate Rapidshare I have also uploaded the ROM to MegaUpload.
Here they are:

Questions before flashing.

Hello. I bought my HD2 in India and it has the ROM version : 1.48.720.2(71294)WWE and the radio version: 2.05.51.05_2. HTC has not released any updates(1.66 ROM etc) in india(except for some patches like SMS, camera fix etc). Now i want to flash it to some custom ROM but before doing that i have a few questions.
a)Can i straight away install HSPL3 or it's a gradual process(from hspl1 to hspl2 to hspl3)?
b) After installing HSPL , can i choose any custom WWE ROM and radio combination ? Say if i wish to install Radio_2_10_50_26 and some energy's 6.5.5 ROM , would that be possible? Or i have to look for ROM's that are specific to my region/country.
much appreciated.
no you can use hspl straight away make sure you choose one ending in hspl not .0000 because thats stock spl, you should prob read a bit more first by the sounds of it mate, and you can install any rom you wish and most roms will say what radio is recommended but you can also check the last few pages to see what radios people are using, hope this helps
Thanks for replying Demon_man. I 've downloaded a file called HSPL3_PKG.zip from a thread called HSPL/HSPL2 HowTo flash everything. And i 've gone through a tutorial named Flashing your First GSM 512LEO Rom (For Noobs). So what i understood is that when i will run HSPL_PKG.exe , it will ask me for the HSPL version to install(tutorial says
i can select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, so i guess only two versions are packed). And there i need to select 2.08.HSPL and NOT SPL2.08.0000. Once it is installed chances of bricking my phone are minimal. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Completly change Vendor ?

Sorry for anoob question.
My phone Vendor is Asia.
Is it possible to completly change VENDOR to WWE???
yes HSPL2...
samsamuel said:
yes HSPL2...
Click to expand...

Yes I know... But question is to change and make it like another stock VENDER.
I mean i have Asya VENDER and i wanna to make it WWE VENDER, just like if it was from stock.
Is it possible?
yes it is. flash hspl2, choose 1.66.hspl or 2.08.hspl, flash any ANY rom, from ANY vendor, example O2 WWE, or Vodaphone WWE, or T Mobile Germany, or Eastern Europe, or Simplified chinese, or t mobile usa, or HTC WWE, or cooked roms, anything you like.
This WILL NOT let you use any sim if your phone is locked.
Just remember to flash using USB and not sd card.
Dear Sir Samuel.
I understand what you mean. But maybe you not understand me... Sorry about my english...
I'll try to explain what i'm talking about.
The question is ONLY about flashing stock ROMs, not customs.
I understand that with HSPL i can flash everything but...
When we install some ROM, it checks vender id which is flashed somewere in the devise, and if flashing ROM is WWE and devise has asian ID there we have error.
Question is, is it possible to change VENDER ID, in the devise, i mean just like it was putted in trhe devise from factory.
All i need it to flash now and future stock WWE ROMs.
Question is because if it was be possible, i will upgrade my 1.66 phone with 3.14 WWE as i like and not with Asian 3.14.
It is important, because every next ROM meybe come with newer SPL version, and i need to have devise wich accepts completly official updates.
In one word i need to change the citizenship of my devise
Sorry about my english, and to many words.
Thank you
have you tried? because as far as I am aware, hspl bypasses vendor ID.
BUT, you will not be able to use hspl to instal the 3.14 rom, because it doesn't work properly with hspl, so you can't get to spl 3.x
If your question is 'other than hspl, is there a way to change the vendor ID', , , you could try a goldcard, but if it goes wrong you may be stuck with an spl 3.x. (Though flashing your original stock from sd card should fix it, , bit of a risk though, i have a goldcard but im not trying it till hspl3.03 comes out.)

Click to collapse
There we are. I don't need bypass Vendor ID, I know that is possible.
But i just wanna change my Vendor ID with another one.
Once to forever. I dont need custom ROM-s
I just wanna to any next official WWE ROM, when installing "thinks" that devise is WWE.
May be i don't understand what is VENDOR ID or where is flashed/recorded on the devise... May be VENDOR ID is serial number of some microchip and we cant reflash it... I dont know.
OK
Just forget about flashing ROM-s...
Can you tell me, where in the devise, Vendor ID is recorded?
From where, ROM installer asks devise for it?
And can we change this ID on the devise?
sounds to me like you need an electronics engineer.

My problem is 3.03 spl...
Thank you Sir.
ah i get you, you want to flash a 3.14 rom, but they doint work correctly because you don't have the 3.03 spl. I see.
In that case, the answer is to wait, i guess. Regional 3.14 roms are being released, so there will be one for your area soon, meaning you can get the 3.03 spl, and then use sspl to flash the wwe 3.14, perhaps.
In the meantime, cross your fingers that someone is working on hspl3.03
You could also use SSPL to flash to a new 3.14 ROM.
Remember when flashing with SSPL, SPL and radio aren't flashed...
So you would only get the new rom (not SPL 3.03 and the new radio)
Grtz,
Degake

Plz plz plz help me

i got HD2 ...i tried to flash it with offical rom ...but it says invalid ID....so i tried to install HSPL... but while checking the USB connectivity it says (BAD SPL 00000)
the SPL ver is 3.03.000
tnx alot
Tray reinstall HSPL.
hspl doesnt work with spl 3.03.0000, , its a 'bad spl'.
you need to give more info, lots more,, does it currently boot? what phone is it? what region? is it rom locked? do you know your stock rom? do you HAVE your stock rom?, help us to help you.
Hi. I've read somewhere in this forum, you can remove 3.03 SPL by flashing an older stock rom ie. 1.66 Stock Rom and that'll replace the SPL and then only you can install any HSPL. I remember gotten the bad SPL message because I forgotten to remove the HSPL to install the new stock ROM. I suggest maybe you can try to install an older stock rom and try all over again because maybe something went wrong somewhere along the installation.

my device info :
spl : 3.03.0000

rom : 3.14.404.1 (04666) NLD
& its working fine... but there is no english interface thats y i tried to install Official ENG rom... but its says INVALID ID....so i tried to re HSPL it...but it says (error 000000 BAD SPL VERSION)
yes, because hspl doesnt work with spl 3.03.0000, , , ,, extract ruu_signed.nbh from the wwe 3.14 and flash it using sspl. If that doesnt work, read the goldcard thread
i tried COLDCARD it doesnt work
it gave Error while trying to flash "00028002 not allowed" on the hd2 screen
& i tried to flash it from the pc also doesnt work
I NEED HELP PLZ .. MY HD2 WITH NL ROM & I CANT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING
how can i make sure that i did the goldcard steps right??????????
i told you already, you don't need goldcard.
you already have spl 3.03.0000 so use SSPL to flash either 3.14 wwe or artemis.
how to check goldcard - try it, if you get an error, it isn't gold.
how can i flash my hd2 with sspl???

[Q] strange S/N and spl 3.03.000

Hi everybody,
i get a problem when i tried to flash my second HD2, flashed the first one without problems
i searched for spl 3.03 and i found other threads saying that we have to flash with stock ROM but the serial number doesn't match with the mskip list...
S/N is : HT01KNW03882 is there anyone who can tell me it 's from where ?
i bought it to a guy who get it with a contract it's under Orange french ROM and i'm in france so i get this french ROM:Leo_HTC_FRA_1.43.406.2_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2
but i get this message error during a sd card method (card was formatted in FAT32), after showing me the bootloader screen, in the grey back :00028002
Not allow
and then it returns in the tri color screen
sorry for the bad english and thanks in advance
Hello sir, honestly it isn't complicated.
You mention that it is a device who came from a contract under Orange.
So it is a Orange branded device.
So conclusion; you need this ROM: RUU_Leo_S_Orange_FR-B2B_3.14.73.2 Download!
And for your info; I have verified it with your S/N
thanks for reply !
this is the ROM i had already and the only one i can get from HTC whith the S/N you'r right but i tried that and it do not change spl
i just flashed it now with SSPL and a 1.43 french stock ROM but i just want HSPL on it

Mate, Im confused..
You said you have that rom installed/flashed but didnt change the SPL?
As I know, the stock rom version 3.14 contains SPL 3.03.0000. So, your hd2 should have had that spl now.
Try to check again in case you missed something.
Also please keep in mind that SPL 3.03.0000 are not compatible with HSPL at the moment. It will cause you trouble if you install HSPL over SPL 3.03
Cheers

that's the ROM i had when i get the phone and the only one i can get via HTC and the spl was only 3.03.0000 and do not change with flashing this ROM
now i have 1.43.french ROM and still this $&!รน^* 3.03.000 spl
ok i have successfully flashed the device with darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 using jayceooi's video because i saw the spl 3.03 in it

First of all I'm confused, If you already have this ROM; way your question about that you card find your stock ROM based on your S/N???
And secondly, way would you install stock ROM over SSPL??? Just use the normal installation proses. But in case you have HSPL on your device, remove it first. (HSPL isn't compatible with stock ROM 3.14)
was afraid when i saw that no S/N was like mine and i want HSPL because it's easy and i use it since Trinity without any probs.
flashed with SSPL because i really don't like Orange's ROM
If i understand correctly, you flashed with sspl and can't go back to hspl even after going back to stock rom. Its very easy to solve but difficult to find the required rom. All you have to do is download different kinds or should i say download an older version of the orange stock rom and install it on your device. That should solve your proplem, at least that how i was able to solve mine.

hehe, and that little piece of info is the cause of confisuion this mildly amusing thread,, , you see the only orange rom that has been released by HTC directly is the 3.14, (there is an earlier orange FR rom about, but i remember lots of people hunting high and low last summer for it) but the OP wants to downgrade to apply hspl.
@OP - give the one in post 2 a try HERE.
