So yeah im completely new to all this stuff
I wanted to install android on my phone, i found a guide to do it (i'd link it but i cant post links since im new) but i need spl 2.08 and my phone has 0.87, i tried to use the hspl4 tool to update it but it works only for 1.4 and above.
So i started investigating and found a way to install the 0.87 onilex, then i searched a way to get it o 1.4 or something but i dint found anything useful
After that i tried to install a rom, for that i used the RhodiumWAdvancedRUU, i used task 29 to clear the whole thing but after that i wasnt able to install any rom, it gets stuck on the boot screen
Any advice would be really apreciated
Nvm i figured how to install roms (i got a really cool one working right now)
But anyways i still need help to change the slp from 0.87 onilex to 2.0 or something like that
Can someone lend me a hand with it please?

Why do you need that if you are able to install custom ROM's...?
If you can flash ROM's, don't worry about it.

Do you have a TP2? If so please let us know where you got a working copy of something newer than GB which works.
If not, you are in the wrong place.

um, ya. That is a HD2 phone.
So the question once again is do you have a TP2 phone, because what you linked to will not work on this phone. HD2 ≠ TP2.

Ya. The title "Install Android Ice Cream Sandwich On The HTC HD2 In Minutes" kind of gives that little secret away.
Good luck finding anything newer than GB for the TP2.

I'm going to say something that's likely to land me in the doghouse but every one of these threads are here for a reason; legacy or new. I don't mind folks asking questions and I've sure asked my fair number of them too. I get the tutorials may not be well written and can be somewhat "over your head" in nature but many of you need to take the time and read them. Don't just jump in and fire away asking questions that are available and answered...please do your homework. Many of you expect an automatic quick fix...it simply is not that simple. If you need SPL0.85.OliNex...it's been asked, answered and here. One more thing...take the time to edit your signature or let us know what you have, attempted or for the sake argument what is under the hood of your device...you got to tell us otherwise we don't know. I apologize up front for anybody I've offended but all of you newbies need to be more thorough when posting. You need to begin by telling us which device you're using. SPL2.08 is the HTC HD2. You might be in the wrong thread but it too makes my point; please take the time to read these threads. A lot of folks put a tremendous time into their efforts. We expect all of you to do the same, no shortcuts; take care!

Don't know about "need" but we all want it!
Looks like we'll have to wait quite a while though.
Guys.
PMing a moderator is NOT the way to get this rom.
A lot of people have the rom. It will get out, you can't hold back the flood. Just be patient. A number of people are stating that they've used it. You know who they are [NOT ME].
This board will not host this rom at this time.
V
Quite right V.
XDA-Devs is far too important to be inviting legal trouble as a result of this (or any other) issue.
I'd suggest that anyone who wants this ROM should either wait patiently (easier said than done - I know - I'm in the same boat!) or get searching somewhere else. It'd be a disaster if this forum was brought to it's knees because of a few impatient people!
hey you!... yes you!...
I know you have WM6, so... please send to me: [email protected]

Just been given a Vodafone u.k 1605(hermes),the digitiser was trashed so ive soldered in a new one.I would love to install Black 2.5 for T-moblie u.k which is my sim network.Do i just install this to the phone or do i have to take any other action first?The phone is unlocked.
Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.
Many thanks Tony
You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.
A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.

Here is the list you wanted:
Read the wiki
Read the installation guides.
Read the threads concerning the threads on available roms.
Understand what you have read.
Flash your phone.
Here you go... step by step list of everything you need to do to upgrade to the Black 3.0:

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.
Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony
Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.
Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!
Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!
...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.
Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.
Hey guys,
I was using Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex to flash b4 installing the new rom. it is showing 100% done and my phone reset, and all look fine...
however when entering bootloader screen it is showing me the version as 1.34.00 (sth like this), and check from the rom in the setting of the phone..it is still 1.34.xx (the original rom).
I was following the steps from some posts in the forums...but still the same..
Can anyone please help? sorry i am a newbie to pda phone...
Thanks again guys
can you follow the steps here exactly and let me know the result?
hard-spl upgrade guide
I have a similar problem. When i made HARD SPL everything is ok, but when i try to make a ROM update there is an error massage on the screen. I tried with 2 or 3 ROMs and always the same ****... I downloaded the official one and it's the same... I made printscreen here it is ---> http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/7/2/f_gggm_0346e0b.jpg any ideas ?
maybe you installed the rom using sspl and hard spl did not install when you tried to install it. Not sure if this is possible.
Let check the Hard-SPL installed:
press volume down and soft reset (small red button) together and keep until comes out the 3 colored band in the screen, read the Hard-SPL version, it must be 1.40.
Let us know, ciao.
that's the windows error message saying it needs to close.. what's the error message the RUU gives.. it should have a number, or description of what happened. sure your download is not simply corrupt?
Well I have downloaded it 3 times already and every time i tried to make ROM update after HARD SPL my device cannot make upgrade and this error massage is on the screen.. I made soft reset after HARD SPL and there was no 3, but 4 colors on my screen...I thought that I ****ed up the phone, but for my luck I'm not hehe. BUT The f***in version is the same:
ROM version: 1.34.831.1 WWE. ROM date: 05/25/08. Radio version: 0.93.25.NS16. Protocol Version: 52.24.25.08H.
Please help, I don't know WTF!?!? That version is just NO COMMENT!
Thanks...
yeah can you please state the exact error message that comes up?
also, can you confirm you have Hard-SPL on your device.. if so, which version? (signed or unsigned)

Yea after i followed the steps it is working all fine for me. I think my original problem is the way to enter boot loader screen, but then during the flash of the signed rom (1.37.456.2) i found that the version for boot loader is SPL-1.40.OliNex .
Now all is working fine, thx guys!!!
1 more question, if i have the hard spl installed, flashed a new rom. What should i do if i wanna flash another rom? (let say, after RUU-1.37.456.2 i wanna flash 1.37.401.3). Should i sspl and hardspl and install the new rom? Or i just simply install the new rom without hardspl again?
Thanks again!!
no, hard-spl is 'permanent' on your device unless you manually revert to stock SPL or something..
just flash another ROM without flashing Hard-SPL again

Could you please stop flashing your site all the way here? Here at XDA there is a lot of info how to flash your phone, it is not needed to flash your site all the time here. One time is enough.
i'm not 'flashing' my site.. if one time was enough he would have already gone through the guide. i didn't even MENTION the site, either, simply gave him a link to the guide. if you take time to read the thread you'll find that it actually helped him get hard-spl on his diamond which is why the site was created so we can minimize these kind of questions and threads in the forums.. if you spent more time actually helping people instead of writing ridiculous posts like this maybe we'd have a cleaner and more productive forum

Hello everyone ..
I need your help , I I installed the arabizer and rebooted ... and never reach home again! phone is jamming at BT LOGO and doesnt go any further.
took battery off , same thing! cant get activesync see the phone either
BTW, I recently Upgraded to WM6 Standard !!
any ideas?
Appreciate your time guys!
check the sticky for the unbricking your phone thread and also the hard reset bootloader thread. they should allow you to unbrick and reflash your phone. upgrade to ookba's 6.5 and you'll encounter less problems. im guessing your phone wasn't unlocked to apps since you're just hitting WM6 standard. you might wanna do that next time and prevent this problem again
Thanks dude,
I will check it and get back to you

Was your BT not already WM6 as they have been dispatched for over a year with WM6.
B.T.W if you after a nicer looking better functioning device update to 6.1 or 6.5, the BT official ROM is posted in sticky too just incase you have to return phone ever "not that i thnk BT would even turn the phone on to check lol they pretty useless @ everything they do" yep i'm an ex BT subscriber

Sure I want, what do you recommend??? I will eventually need to have some Arabic support thought!
I bought it over Ebay with WM5, but got it upgraded to WM6 (still BT, and yes it looks stupid )
one your phone is properly unlocked for apps and you are settled in with a rom that works well for you, installing arabic support shouldn't be a problem. just make sure the Arabic support program you install will work with the rom you choose. search the forums and find all the info on the roms and find one that will suit you best. don't be scared to ask questions.. but diving head first without all the research can be sketchy. really really sketchy
tried few threads but I still cant flash any new roms !
okay i'm still working on no sleep but you seem pretty desperate and i think i know how you feel. A bricked phone sucks. So here's the threads and i'll explain as i give em to you. If you phone is locked up (bricked) and wont boot up past the Windows screen go here and follow the instructions to get your phone working again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493266 if you had to use that to unbrick your phone and prepare it for flashing flash your phone with one of these factory roms from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726. once your phone is working and you can access your home screen and start menu install this program to unlock your sim and applications from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789. this will allow you to flash through serveral of the new 6.5 roms such as the 3vo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718 and the NRGhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527496 rom series. If you absolutly can't getting it working messages us back and one of the makers of these roms will help you because im going to sleep. good luck
EDIT: if you absolutely can not unbrick check out this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540492

go to the touch pro 2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile Rom development forum and read the Hard-SPL unlocker sticky thread and make sure your device is hard-spl'd, if not then do it. Then read the Flashing your first GSM Rhodium Rom (also a stickied thread) [this is assuming ur device is gsm (at&t or t-mobile)] and go through the roms and flash whichever one you please. NRG's Energy roms seem to be the most popular for the rhodium but its all up to your personal preference.

Wait a minute, you already burned a ROM and you don't know how to burn a new ROM? If you are asking what ROM to burn, take a look at the ROM development forums.

There is an issue with SAVING sms - it slows down the phone a lot. But it should be no problem to view them and then delete the old ones. I use the NRG ROM. But I would go over to the ROM Development section and read up. Start by discovering if the phone has Hard SPL.
