I'm sure you could have come up with something a little more intelligent\thoughtful\useful as your first post to the site if only you'd tried a little harder... ;-)
Smiffy.
Hi, Im sorry but I did really search before posted this question. It is because there are many threads and become scattered n chaotic...
Therefore I need to ask and expect information is post under my thread...
THere are too many articles of upgrade and some are old tech or SPL..but it is just as simply as just
SPLv.7
rom
Therefore, I wish you can understand my point and also thanks for the guys to be patient to non-techy users like me

You need to downgrade the phone first to root, then you can install which ever Rom you like, search the forum there is a guide

You will lose everything, and you do not need a goldcard.

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .

As far as I know you CAN'T root the new 4.22.651.2.........There's about 300 threads on this very subject, did you even search for your answer before you decided to post or did you not read the rules over here at XDA?
If you didn't then take a look at rule#1....

Yes but I didn't know what to search, I'm sorry.

You search for things such as "Root OTA Update HTC EVO" or "4.22.651.2 ROOT"....is not that hard!
Take a look at this link if you don't know what you're doing on here....

Downgrading the HTC EVo 4G
MazdaRider23, u really need to unglue urself from the forums, because when u start bitting people's heads off for asking a simple question, this means that either ur an ass or u have been do this too long. The kid simply ask if he was able to downgrade to a more subjective OTA update, like 2.2 or something, but u wrote more chewing him out than it would have taken to say "No u cant" three little words. Maybe u need to start reading as u type so u can hear how u come off. Remember, not all people know the rules and wont know them, because they are happy to be able to root their phones and are too excited to read 10 pages of rules. Just remember that ok?
Here you go dude. Dropped a few hours ago.

[Q] A noob needs some help here...

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.
I need spl 2.08 ni order to install android ice cream, i could use Hspl4 but it only supports from 1.42 and above while mine is 0.87
btw i'd place all the links im getting the info from, but i cant post links yet

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!
