How to Install HSPL3 on HTC HD2? (Video)

I thought that I can run away from HSPL3 after getting Android 2.2 Froyo running on official HTC HD2 3.14 ROM. But I was wrong. The latest NAND Android build requires HSPL3. So here is the video and step by step guide to install HSPL3 on HTC HD2.

Prerequisites

• Windows Mobile Device Center installed on Windows Vista / Windows 7 or
• ActiveSync installed on Windows XP
• You must have 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

You should have this SPL version unless you are using the latest 3.14 ROM with SPL 3.03.0000. No worry, just downgrade your Windows Mobile ROM from v3.14 to v1.66 will do. Download HTC HD2 v1.66 ROM. Then follow this guide ~ How to upgrade Windows Mobile ROM on HTC HD2? (Video) to downgrade your phone from SPL 3.03.0000 to SPL 1.42.000.
