Hello,
I accidentally flashed a Test ROM w/ an MFG SPL (Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test) and meant to flash 2.13 shipped rom and now I am stuck with 2.02/2.03.0000 Engineering SPL and can't seem to flash any official/shipped roms to get back to 2.08/2.10 spl..
In other words how can I flash an SPL that is compatible with HSPL3 Utility..
(SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.000)
Please help!
Thanks.
Solution Found!

We have modified the installer HSPL3 Cotulla and added the ability to install HSPL 2.08 SPL 2.02. This version is not suitable for installation on SPL 2.07, on the other can.

If this helped you out of SPL 2.02 please remember to thank these guys for working this out.
Info about MFG SPL:
Why can't I change the SPL with these test ROMs?
- These stock ROMs have an MFG SPL which cannot be overwritten in any way, not by flashing stock ROMs from SD, HSPL utility, SSPL or goldcard. The only successful way has been to drop the SPL with mtty (and has only been done once or twice).
- Good new is you can still use your HD2 and switch between 2.02 and 2.03 test ROMs..
What is an MFG SPL?
- MFG SPL = Engineering SPL

Guys, MFG SPL allowes you to use some extra commands using JTAG which you wouldn't be able to use on normal SPL.
I remmeber back in the days there was this user "Leoni" who was stuck on 0.67MFG SPL.
Comonex helped him dropping it. I tried to contact him several times for you guys.
But he never responded back to me.
So spam pm him

this happened to several people some months ago.
goldcard may work, yes, but if not then sspl should get you flashing roms, but you can't change radio with sspl.
look for thread started by xmoo around february or march.
I thought I had tried sspl.. could I have done it wrong?
I found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
I put the shipped 2.13 (also tried 2.05, 2.07, 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 stock and test roms) rom nbh from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653 in a folder with the SSPL.exe and then run .exe but the progress bar stays at 0%
I also tried creating a goldcard, but not quite sure how it works. do I put an nbh on the card with it and boot from sd? or use CustomRUU?
The only ones I can flash back and forth are 2.02 and 2.03 test roms. I'm so annoyed!
Thanks
Nevermind the device wont even turn on anymore
2.02 is a MFG SPL.
Engeniering SPL. You have to drop it using mtty (but if you do it the wrong way, you may brick ur phone!)
Someone flashed 2.10.0 with sspl and sent it back for warrenty. When it came back it had 2.13 with SPL 2.10 on it....

Well for some reason I tried flashing to the 1.01 test from the 1.03 to see if it would change from the MFG spl and I wasn't really paying attention to the progress bar but when I looked back it said (on PC) "ROM Update sucessful" but the phone didn't boot and won't even charge now?
What happened? and can I still send it in for warrenty?
Thanks for the help!

Well if the phone isn't powering on, they probably can't check the spl...
So mayb yes. There are some other people who have done the same ish, and returned there phone. Ask them first.

I am badly looknig for an MFG SPL.
Can someone point me where this is located pls? thanks!
Sry. please ignore my questions, I asked too fast...
Even MTTY does not remove the SPL 2.02.0000
Any solution for this yet? The test ROMs 201 to 209 are not intended for the TMOUS devices there for it is making it hard to remove the watermarked SPL.
I recontructed the ROM without the watermark but it will not install on the device. Anyone has an idea of how to remove the watermark? The SPL used form that ROM is the cause of the block...
Anymore thoughts on this issue?
I bought an eBay "for parts only" HD2 that the seller said sometimes booted into windows 6.5 but most of the time froze at the stick-together screen and never fully booted. Sounded maybe fixable to me, so I took a chance on it. I've never seen it try to boot into winmo 6.5 and when I check the bootloader info I see this:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.02.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x50
The SPL-2.02.0000 was how I found this page. I've read many other pages about HSPL3 etc., but this phone is not recognized at all by two different WinXP machines w/ActiveSync. I don't get any messages regarding Qualcomm or anything like that. It's as if it isn't plugged in except the charge light does go on.
The only thing I can do is flash from the MicroSD card. But, haven't found any other ROMS other than the one that is on it already, that will actually flash. The others get stuck at a white screen that says Loading... and it just hangs there.
When the phone powers up it shows:
R 2.06.50.23......3 (the ...... is actually a squiggly looking line, not actually dots)
G 15.30.50.07u
D 2.03.75592 8G
then it just hangs there forever and goes into what looks like a screensaver mode (parts of the screen get darker and the stick together moves around as well).
If it's dead/bricked, what part inside would need replacing to get it running again (i.e. the motherboard)? This phone looks brand new. It's it fantastic condition. I've seen terrible looking HD2s on eBay that still work. So, I'm curious if there is something I could take out of an ugly phone and swap into this pristine HD2 and have it work.
As I see it, my only other options are to contact HTC and find out what they charge to repair it, or sell it for parts - again.
Since last post have discovered if I manually put phone into bootloader mode then plug it in via USB to my PC I hear the confirmation from the PC that the device is plugged in. Activesync does not fire up, but bootloader changes from serial mode to USB mode. I can start the ROM update utility, the black htc screen with 0% shows on the phone but eventually times out with an error [262] that the recovery process doesn't fix.

The person who owned that previously probably did the same thing I did and flashed one of the test roms with MFG SPL (2.02 or 2.03) Just don't try to flash 2.01, it'll most likely brick it. tomorrow the unbricking attempt on my device will begin.. but I guess you have to drop the SPL using mtty. talk to xmoo
I'll be very interested to read how your unbrick attempt turns out. I tried the MTTY instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
But, that post starts out saying "Before you start one note, this method only works if you succesfully flashed HSPL", which of course my HD2 does not have. Mine used to have 2.02.0000, but after many different tries at a fix - now has 2.00.1000. This is no better a situation to be in as it never gets past the "stick together" screen either.
I tried the create a goldcard.img info found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
However, the directions for QMAT are outdated. But, I did download the new PSAS software offered at the site linked to in the above post and believe I got my 1GB MicroSD card's serial number but when I tried to "generate HTC goldcard" for Leo it gives a message that says "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in this unregistered version" and it looks like it cost 30Euros to register. I'd pay if I knew for a fact this was going to work. But, I have my doubts because in step 2 you need to change the security permissions policies on the HD2. I have no access to the registry since there is no activesync connection possible at this point and I can't launch any programs like PHM.
The fix (if there is one even possible) has to come completely from the SD card as far as I can tell.
Good luck with yours! I hope something works and you come back here and post the sequence.

that part is only necessary to find the ID No. of the sd card. If you can get access to a working WM phone for a few minutes, you can use the other device to find the ID No.
There are alternate ways to get the ID, such as a linux boot disk on a laptop that has a built in SD card slot, but the slot must be directly mounted on the computers PCI bus, if it runs through a usb header it will give you the ID of teh USB header and not the card.
I'm trying to find a way for HSPL3.exe to disable the SPL version check.
This way you can directly flash other HSPL versions....
Thanks for looking into this..

Is there anything I can do to help?

Where do i find it?
Searched for a long time
Why do you need it?
You can't get it on it's own, you need to flash a stock ROM using the SD card method to get the stock SPL on. If you turn off your phone, hold down the vol down button and turn it on you go into the bootloader - what SPL version is listed in there?
(to get out of the bootloader, take the battery out for 5 seconds and put it back in)
my spl: 1.66.0000
i have updated my hd2 rom once (original update).
You'll need to get a 1.48 ROM and flash back to that using the sd card method to get back to SPL 1.42. Then you can put HSPL on the phone and upgrade again using the activesync method and you'll be ok.
You can get the 1.48 ROM here, just put in your serial number:
http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=804
Then follow these notes:
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. Therefore if you flash a v2.01 or later Rom (with SPL2.*) you will NOT be able to reinstall HardSPL onto your device and could end up bricking it. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
Wiki and Sticky....
Hey There,
Look to the WIKI and STICKY
All you need is there.... yeah with a real video for beginners...
Grtz,

thnx i know how to get it done now!
Thank you EddyOS, i will also try this since i get "invalid vendor ID" when doing it via USB cable. Hope it works
EDIT: Dang, didnt work "Loading ... Not Allow" + back to bootloader
Help
Hi,
I need to find SPL 1.42.0000 for my leo, swedish.
The link in the previous post didnt work for my SerialNo =(
you can't get just the SPL - you need to flash the stock ROM for your region.
and the link wouldn't work as it was the Dutch HTC site - try here:
http://www.htc.com/se/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
Taken from my Rom Flashing guide:
2. FLASH HARDSPL2 (REQUIRED!! DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)
The Original HardSPL Thread is *HERE*
IMPORTANT: To install/uninstall this HSPL there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.42.HSPL, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 1.66.HSPL,
SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000 SPL, 2.08.HSPL
NOTE: If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first
NOTE: Turn OFF any AntiVirus Program first as it WILL interefere with the flash (there is NO harmful code in the program)
Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead (thanks to Bepe)
1. Download HardSPL package from *HERE* and extract to an empty folder
2. Synch Phone with PC in Windows Mobile!!! It has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable
3. Run HSPL2_RUN.exe from your pc and read all the text carefully
4. When finished click next in the HardSPL program
5. The program will now check the usb connection and enter the bootloader screen (tri colour)
6. NEW: YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE WHICH VERSION OF SPL OR HARDSPL YOU WANT TO FLASH TO YOUR PHONE!!
7. Select your desired HardSPL and click NEXT.
8. HardSPL will now be flashed to your phone.
5. When its finished the HardSPL program will pop up a box saying "successfully Done".
6. Click ok to terminate program and reboot the phone.
7. Congrats, you just flashed HardSPL.

you are showing your ignorance by getting all demanding, if you had read anything, you would know that spl is part of all official roms.it is not a file in its own right.
the only reason you would be looking for it is if you have a telstra, cos hspl2 works on any spl. in which case you need the 1.49 telstra rom, flash it from sd card and it will downgrade your spl to 1.42
if you don't have a telstra, then you are looking for something you don't need.
i cannot seem to flash my phone! D: it's irritating me greatly...
allow me to tap out my phone for you.

i can't flash roms till it's hspl-ed.
hspl2 says i have a bad model number?
i have the US TMO HD2, 512 rom, not 1gb rom.
pretty sure it's only 512, cause with OS running, i check about system, it says i have 4hundred and something avail.
i've tried everything.
i can't even locate a copy of 1.66 rom so i can install 1.42 spl, cause htc says my model number isn't suitable for the rom i try to download.
basically, i'm F%$KED. and i need helps.
please, respond! i just wanna hack this POS winmo 6.5 shiz to something cooler.. D:

do you have a tmous phone? in which case you need hspl1024 (see my sig)
if not, try different usb ports, especially try to use one around teh back of the computer
also, dont forget to right click hspl and 'run as administrator'
nO it does not work that way!
Would be a lot easyer if you just gave us the file 1.42.0000.nbh so we could add it to our SDcard and flash it without it locking or not working! Please I beg you send us over the 1.422.0000 file all by itself!
PLEASE!!!!

How come someone sent over a SPL 2.08.0000 which mine used to be 2.10.0000 and that worked just fine, why wouldn't sending over a file 1.42.0000 just like they did with the 2.08.0000 do the same... IT WOULD!
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong. I'm trying to flash a ROM but every time it goes to the HTC screen and stays at 0%. I've read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614 and i installed hspl. I got the "we hacked it" message so i assume i did it correctly. Is there something else im missing?
I noticed when I flashed from stock to dutty I did it through active sync and not through micro sd card method. Try flashing from a computer
I have been using a computer
reboot into bootloader (power button plus both volume keys) and check to make sure your spl says hspl after the number
what rom are you trying to flash
Reflash the SPL and make sure you select 2.08 HSPL, and not the 2.08.000 SPL because you already have it installed. As the other poster stated, confirm by going into the bootloader and seeing if 'HSPL' comes after the numeric info.

haha, I did the same thing when I got my HD2. The tutorial wasn't clear as to which SPL to choose and I chose the wrong one by accident .
No problem.
That seems to be the common little stumbling block for US HD2 first-time flashers.
Is that option there if you want to change it back to the original spl so you can flash an official ROM?
You don't have to flash it back to stock hspl to flash a stock rom but it is there so after you flash to stock you can relock that way if you have to get the device warrantied out there isn't anything there that would void the warranty.
Ever since I went to wp7 and back to android, my amazing hd2 has never been the same since. For weeks I have had freezing, so wanted to get a clean slate and start over. I did the following
Task29
Magldr 1.3
wanted to install nexushd2 so had to install
CWM_Recovery_for_NexusHD2_135M
it crashed towards the end of the install, ok I try to go back to magldr...but even tho I hold the button I dont get the options. I try it all again...same problem. I heard going back to stock 3.14 will fix most problems...it also hangs but at 8%?
Its now 6am and I need sleep...can anybody help...I really need a phone for tomorrow.
Thanks in advance

I got a quick question, did you reformat your SD card after you removed Windows Phone 7? If not this is probably your pro.lemons as WP7 cormates your card in a funky way so the phone tvinls the SD card is the enternal memory, I forget what it is called. But this is the same in WP7 native devices as they actually use SD card for memory and not enternal chips.
The best way to do this is to either vet an adapter and put your card in a digital camera and format it. Then reformat it again to Fat with your computer. Are you can just use your computer, but I suggest the digital camera as it will 100% remove the funky format.
Go into bootloader and flash a correct stock rom from USB. If it doesn't take confirm it's correct for your phone and try again.
sticking at 8% means a problem with installing the radio.
Put it in a plastic bag and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes. remove and reflash.
I would recommend extracting the 3.14 installation file (using winrar).
Rename the RUU_signed.nbh to 'LEOIMG.nbh'.
Copy this file into the root of your SD Card, and pop the card in the phone.
Boot the phone whilst holding in the volume down button and let it flash.
If cooling the phone helped, send it back under warranty (you have got rid of HSPL, so all is good now.
I got mircosdhc to usb today, copied LEOIMG.NBH to sd, tried to flash but getting 28002 error not allowed
i then throws me back to spl 1.42
I have tried both 3.14 and 1.66 official roms...both sdflash and romupdateutility.
When I try sdflash with leoimg.nbg it gets to 1% then shuts down.
Is my hd2 dead? it doesnt even get orange led charge :-/

Is that ok, I dont remember if being that
update
cant flash radios either, shows the progress bar then restarts.
I tried :
2.15.50.14
Gutted, its my best phone ever
hmm, quite a rash of stuck radios this past week or so, , hardware coming to the end of its flashable life?
@OP, some people are recommending (myself included it seems, by passing it on) chilling the phone in a sealed bag in fridge freezer, no sim no sd, then when its cool, put sd in and try to flash real quick, try a few times, keeping it sealed and cool.
Aparently the theory is that the hardware is overheating, and the cooling lets it work well enough for a little while.
There are one or two what look like success stories, it has to be said, but i wouldn't put a bet on it myself just yet.
Good luck.
(oh and i wouldnt put the phone in the bag in a warm room either, , take it outside for a while first, let it be cool before it goes in teh bag, less chance of condensation.)
It doesnt look good...either get a black screen with a triangle!
or if I get into the tri colour bootloader it says:
upgrade rom code error please try again
everytime i try flash a radio it goes either 0% or 8% reboots phone.
I wish I stayed on sd...never had any problems ever...ever since win7 my phone hasnt been the same.
Any more advice or links would be great, keep em coming. I dont want to give up on my hd2 just yet...Im mean its still (imo) one of the best android phones about

upgrade rom code error please try again
should i change my spl or something? its currently:
hx-bc
spl 1.42.0000 xe
micro (led) 0x05
microP(TOUCH) 0X40
do you know if that is ok?
this might be overstating an obvious that you've thought of, but are you sure you are using the correct stock ROM for your region? Have you tried flashing a custom ROM just to see what happens?

that would be a stock spl then,, and with the rom update error, that means you have flashed the wrong stock rom from sd card. It has removed hspl, then the flash failed because you had (have) stock 1.42.0000 spl.
enter bootloader - usb - hspl4 - 2.08.hspl HSPL not 0000 - into bootloader again, has the spl changed? if not, then flashing is stuck, and you are in the stuck radio situation, if it HAS changed, now try flashing a rom or radio, , , flash from usb, see what happens.

not at all, keep me coming...I honestly dont see any other phone just now that I want (in the uk at least)...maybe the artrix but thats not for a few months...so need to get this baby back working!
I tried both 1.66 and 3.14 wwe (i couldnt see a uk one...

Are they ok?
You could go to HTC's website, and search for HD2, and then go to downloads, and try downloading the newest rom that the site offers. You need to enter your serial number which is located under the battery. With some luck you will end up having a shipped rom, which has the same cid as your phone, and you will then be able to flash your phone via usb cable (from the tricolor screen).
If for some reason the HTC website won't accept your srial number, try to select another country from the top right part of the website.
I live in Serbia, and the Serbian HTC page has no rom downloads for HD2, the International page won't accept my serial, but the polish page did accept it. So keep trying, until the webpage accepts your sn.
If you are in no luck, you could try downloading roms from http://www.shipped-roms.com/.
Hope you will succeed in your quest to resurrect your phone.
Best of luck

Ha, funny you should say mention that about HTCs site...but my S/N didnt work either. I wasnt sure if it was something to do with me/my phone or just the site was rubbish!
Im currently downloading an o2 rom frmo shippedroms (great site, thanks) so all my fingers and toes are crossed.
Funny thing is, I can flash hspl and hspl2, I managed to flash radio but not rom...keeps rebooting.
Did u take out sim and SD and try flashing?
@samsamuel
Well, I managed to get hspl4 on ok (2.08hspl) and then flashed a win6.5 rom it worked...but doesnt boot (stuck at flash screen)
When I downloaded official roms from both htc and shippedroms...they are corrupt. I used winrar, 7zip and tried to just run the packaged exe file...doesnt open.
Can anybody help me test these files and see if its me or have a good office rom they can upload?
@milli
when i managed to get an win6.5 rom flashed, sd was in, sim was out (i used hspl usb flash method)
EDIT - Found some o2 shipped roms on xda...extracted and going to try usb flash via hspl4
well i can flash radios and roms via hspl4 usb flash method AND usb via pc...but still cannot boot. Stuck at inital splash screen.
Any ideas now? We have made progress
edit - i have tried both custom roms and shipped o2 (uk) roms
Did you try hard reset after you'd flashed the rom(s)??
tried it once or twice, but not everytime. redownloading another rom
RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship_WORKING.exe (191,374 KB)
i hope this works...im getting desperate. Im still unsure at whats went wrong. Is it something wrong with my nand memory?
I can now flash radio, roms but yet cannot boot (Stuck at white htc splash...the red text sometimes appears...sometimes it doesnt).
edit - that rom failed to flash
I was running froyo off my SD card and was wanting to go with a NAND install. I was following steps in a HOW TO here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939682
I had 3.14 installed, but my SPL was 2.10 (not 3.03 noted in the How To) so I didn't think i needed to change my ROM. I installed SPL-2.08.HSPL (and confirmed that it installed - all was fine) and then read further that android may not run right if I'm running 3.14. This may or may be true and I cant go back and find where I read that, but thats beside the point now.
SO, I download 1.66 as it instructs in the HOW TO, install it and it looks like it installed fine, but my phone shuts off and Windows 7 tries to install the driver and cannot find it. I try to reboot my phone and its dead/blank.... nothing. I'm pretty sure its bricked as its non-responsive to any button mashing and battery removal. I cant reinstall 3.14 since Win7 wont recognize the phone (no driver). What do I do? Thanks very much for any help!
FYI, I'm with t-mobile USA. Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you in advance!!
Yep, dead. 1.66 rom contains a ..51.. radio.
Sadly, you didn't need to do any of that, simply switching spl from 2.10.0000 to 2.08.hspl using hspl3 would have done the trick.
(For info, the tmous does NOT require spl 3.03 to run 3.14 roms, unlike the regular hd2 which is hugely unstable on 3.14 without spl 3.03, which is why its not uncommon to see tmous phones running fine with 3.14 and spl 2.x, )
So WHY is it in that Definite Guide?? Arg!
There is nothing I can do? Is it basically a very expensive paper weight now?
JTAG / new mainboard are the only options now.

Contact me and I can put you in touch with someone that can JTAG your HD2.
Also I thonk what you read about Android not running good if you have the 3.14 ROM was concerning SD card builds cause if you flash to a NAND Android ROM Wimdows Mobile is not on the HD3 anymore at all.
The guide is really good but that part should not have been put in there as HSPL 4 supports SPL 3.03.0000. Which SPL 3.03.0000 is the reason HSPL 4 was made.
Probably just an older guide then... live and learn i guess. I located the JTAG guy from another post. Seems like the best option. Thanks!
whats a JTAG?

JTAG is a means of having a direct connection to the processor and NAND chip on the main board. It os,the only way to reserect a truly bricked HD2. A truly bricked HD2 will not even turn on or allow you any kind of access to the device via USB port. The JATAG is used allong with a Riffbox, ORT, cables to connect the ORT to the Riffbox, a power suply if you do not use the battery to power the main board while JTAGing it,and special software for your computer to reserect the SPL of bootloader so uou can once again reload software onto the device. You have to take the main board out of the HD2 to do thos though so it is not for everyone.
Can anyone help me please... I'm trying to upgrade the rom to the latest HTC HD2 rom for O2. I connect the phone via USB, sync it and then run the RUU program from HTCs website. The phone starts the process and boots the phone to the 4 colour screen and then to the black HTC progress screen and then it hangs on 0% for a few minutes until the utility finally tells me its lost connection with the phone (Error 262). I've done soft resets and hard resets. Disabled firewalls. Tried on another machine. Even ran the utility under XP SP3 compatibility. Still no joy. Can anyone help?? Thanks
Sounds like you might have a bad USB cable or that you are having timing out problems. First forget about the ActiveSync. All ActiveSynce does is help insure hour HD2 is ready to be flash by checking the battery level and such. Power your HD2 on but hold the volume down button down while powering on. When you see the tri color bootloader screen connect hour USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then right click the RUU of the ROM and select run as administrator. If this still does not work I would try another USB cable.

Thanks for this... i followed your instruction and used 2 different cables. No joy.
Anything else I can try that doesn't involved the device suffering a sudden impact with the nearest wall??
Cheers
could it have anything to do with the phone being locked to O2... its the latest ROM for O2 that I'm trying to install.

hmm....if you are trying to flash stock rom which is not intended for your device, you need HSPL or Gold card.
There are threads in Windows Mobile 6.5 section that will guide you on installing HSPL or making a Gold Card.
Good luck

Well here's the thing, my phone is locked to O2. I'm trying to install the latest ROM from HTCs website for O2 customers. For the life of me I cant get it to install. I did install HSPL a few months ago when I tried to run Android from the SD card. That didnt work either. Like I say, I've done a hard reset. Could the HSPL thing be causing an issue. How do I get rid of it.
I hate being a noob sometimes!!

To get rid of HSPL you just have to run the HSPL Utility avain and choose the correct SPL version for your ROM when it asks what version you want to flash. Remember HSPL has the stock SPL versions to, click on the link in my sig to download HSPL 4. Hint thecstock SPL versions all have four zeros at fhe end and the HSPL version do not.
You said you are getting error 262, this usually means you don't have the right SPL or HSPL one of the two atleast that is if I remember correctly. What ROM are you trying to flash and what does it say in bootloader right now?

Hi... Been away so only just got this reply.
The rom I'm trying to install is a stock rom update from the HTC website:
O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
For the record, my phone is an O2 phone.
As for Bootloader? It currently says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Hope that helps. Really bugging the arse off me this is.
get hspl2,
put phone into bootloader manually first and connect usb lead
(thats why it was timing out on you ((error 262)) because the connection takes too long to reconnect when it reboots from winmo into bootloader, , if you do it yourself first, that solves this error 99% of the time.)
when 'serial' changes to 'usb' run hspl2, choose 1.66.0000 (i recommend this because 2.08.0000, whilst stock, is a tmous stock, so 'may' give problems, , totally unconfirmed, but i had issues recently removing android/magldr whilst spl was 2.08.0000, i switched to 1.66.0000 and it worked straight away, i have a slight hunch that spl 2 doesnt like to be downgraded in some circumstances, , if you preffer you could use hspl4 and go straight for 3.03.0000, since that is whjat your 3.14 rom will install anyway when you flash it)
when it reboots saying its done, immediately hold voldown to re-enter bootloader
when serial changes to usb, run your 3.14.exe

Ignore that..
Mate - you're a genius. Followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Cheers pal. You saved my brain
Erm, not sure how much more basic i can make it. (Ignore my descriptions, just follow the steps)
Power off, hold voldown,power on keeping voldown held,, see multi striped coloured screen, that's bootloader, you can flash from this screen.
First you should try without bothering to change the spl.
Enter bootloader and connect USB, run the 3.14 you downloaded. That's it.
If it doesn't work, try changing spl as in my previous post by entering bootloader, and instead of running the 3.14 you run hspl instead.
As for writing a guide, you already read the various "how to flash.." guides (there are several) and watched the (also several) YouTube guides before you even started this thread,,, didn't you? Didn't you?? If not then shame on you!
Post back and ill check tomorrow.
