I've done a search for .rar and SPL and I couldn't find an answer...also searched the wiki for three days with no answer...and it may just be my ignorance.
I went to the download page to upgrade my radio to 1.38. I've already successfully flashed to Black 1.2.
the file downloaded for the radio upgrade is a .rar file. How do I go about upgrading the radio with n .rar file? Do I need to download some other software?
Thanks in advance and sorry if it is a stupid question.
Jim
I think this might be what you are looking for...

See this guide . You need winrar.

thanks. that's the page I already searched. I upgraded to 1.35 with no problems. it was an exe file and self extracted. The 1.38 radio downloaded as an .rar file.

You're cool. thanks.
I know this is a developers site so I try to tread lightly.
Thank you much,

LOL sorry yeah winrar is it. I totally missed the .rar. It was like my eyes did not see it. Sorry.
Wiki page updated to avoid future confusion about RAR files.

So here it is.. this is an official release, just not officially to the public... I have posted 3 flavors of it... although word of warning, cingular definitely had their fill of bloatware with this one...
1. The original (WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108)
*edit if you have 1.01MFG bootloader the original will fail and your phone will be stuck in bootloader, you can fix this by using mtty and issuing the "set 14 0" command and soft resetting
2. Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom, and 1.40 radio
3. Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom
and as pof mentioned earlier you will need hardspl or sspl to flash #2 and #3
*thanks pof, i forgot to mention that
intentionally left blank
Thank You
Thanks Shogunmark. I downloaded them and will flash them tomorrow after getting some sleep. I've only been flashing roms for a month, but i've learned quite alot reading posts from you and the others who are far more knowledgable than myself.
gracias time to do some snooping
WOW!
Answer to my prayer....been going on here everyday, today the 11th 3am, and here it is waiting for me....thanx BuD-Dy
Yes It Works
ok i downloaded and installed the 1st one (original)
its great so far very stable but it is 335am in NJ...so you never know...but so far its working great....no flaws that i can see boot time is a lil longer..but other then that very stable..time will tell....
The full rom has IPL-1.03
Sounds Awsome...
Now can anyone PLEASE tell this newbie,
(1)
what's the difference between 1st ' The Original ' and 2nd ' Oli SPL 1.40, OS, Ext Rom, and 1.40 radio ' ... (i figured out 1st one is .exe & 2nd is .rar,so possibly more files; but which one is better?)
(2) How to flash / upgrade either of 'em onto Brand New Cingular 8525?
(is it possible to upgrade / flash from 2gb micro sd on the device itself?)
Thanks a million in advance, Jags
shogunmark
Can create one with
Oli SPL 1.40, OS, and 1.40 radio
i.e. no ext rom?
Thanks
Truthfully, if you don't already know the difference, use the first "original" file. Or, read the wiki, then decide. Either way, you got some learnin' to do before you try out #2 or #3. Good luck. If you do read thw wiki, you will become unhealthily addicted to your phone - just a fair warning.
Edit: Oh, BTW, the wiki will answer your other questions too. Too long of answers to rehash here. Finally, try forum and google searchesnext time. Great google search "tool" posted at the top of the Hermes forum.

The original is signed by HTC and unmodified, will upgrade all your rom parts (including radio which can be dangerous if the upgrading process fails for some reason), and will upgrade also your SPL to 1.11.
The one including SPL-1.40 is not signed with the valid key, so you need to start the upgrade either using SSPL or by having flashed HardSPL on your hermes first. These are modified bootloaders which allow you to flash code without the proper signature, and will allow you to flash any rom on your device.

If you want the upgrade as provided by cingular use the first one, you will only be able to flash it if you have a 8525 (or another hermes if you have flashed HardSPL or made your device SuperCID previously). If you are somehow a bit "advanced" user and like to play with rom upgrades, and flash your device frequently, go to one having HardSPL.

yes, all aku >=3.3 have internet sharing.
I apologize for displaying an attitude. I was really just trying to point you to a good source to get you prepared to do the kinds of things that the other versions allow. I was not trying flame you, just help you not brick your device. I do sincerely apologize if I offended.

hi i accidentaly upgrade to a liked 2.1 because i taught these guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646595&page=3 #23
had the correct PB00IMG on he's blog
what does that even mean?
It means the emperor is wearing No Pants.
I could understand mistakenly updated but accidentally? How does one accidentally update their phone?
Is it like, "I was placing a phone call but instead of hitting the '8' I instead hit 'update'"?
I think he means updated accidently because according to Zifna's post, he thought he could roll back. He was wrong though, I guess Zifna jumped the gun on that one, but what can you do? you can't go back to 1.5 now, sorry, I think next time you should read as much as you can before updating and not just trusting one guys word
It looks like he misread the post, so I claim "User Error"
Not development related. Moved.
which one do i have
Perhaps he means he downloaded the wrong PB00IMG? I downloaded the PB00IMG and thought it was the rooted one but I think it is the leaked now??? I installed it as per ivanmmjs walkthrough but it booted up with 2.1 and I dont know how to tell if i am rooted or leaked????? Any help

You have to download the one in my link. PB00IMG.zip is not the name of the ROM, it's the required name for the flash to work.

Yes, but the post/thread/instructions leading to the link would tell you whether you downloaded the leaked version or the rooted version.
If you do not know at this point then it is probably too late since they all have the same file name :\
This is why researching things like flashing a custom ROM to your phone to the fullest extent possible before doing it is always recommended by anyone that frequently posts here.
goodluck

That's what I mean. The file name will ALWAYS be the same since the name tells the hboot that the file is a ROM. What's inside of the PB00IMG.zip is what actually changes. You can't go by filename, unfortunately.
I don't know how much time ago but Asus no longer keep older firmware at their site. But I'm really needed in non-ICS firmware for downgrading.
Who have an actual link on a saved copy of 8.* firmware?
Post it here, please!
I really tried to find it somewere else but all links points to Asus' download section and "File not found" there

I know mate =) It is just that I don't understand a thing. I have been searching and searching for ages, but I can't seem to find a guide/way. Tried out many different things. It would be alot easier if somebody who knew about flashing stock rom would post a thread/guide =)
Cheers,

Maybe you should tell us a bit more about ur phone- att vs euro version, if its att did u debrand to euro version or flashed to dft spl2.05 straight away, what methods have u tried that didn't work?

Believe me, buddy, I searched alot before posting this. I just can't seem to find a way to install the stock OSPL back again. Now I am running HSPL by DFT. I want to install the old OSPL again so that I can have the stock rom(original). I have searched everywhere, but there is no post regarding the stock OSPL. Yes, the program for installing HSPL by DFT has this choice where u can choose downloading the HSPL or the OSPL. I have tried many times to install the OSPL, but I get an error. Besides, I don't know the right structure of this whole process; Am I going to install the stock radio first or install the OSPL first? And what about the Stock Rom, when do I flash That?
RUU stands for RomUpdateUtility =)
hello bud,
pay no attention to the "know it alls" who post just to post, without actually answering your question. Thats what the forums are for, developement and questions no?
But as an attempt to be helpful, what type of device do you have?
Have you tried just flashing the stock rom found on Football's rom thread?
If not try that using a "RUU" because from what DFT's HSPL page says you should overwrite their hspl if you reflash the original Rom for your device.

I have an HTC TITAN(EURO VERSION I THINK). I do have installed ultrashot's rom(dynamic's.......) i don't know what to flash first. What AM I flashing first?
where do i get that RUU? and what AM i overwriting with? I AM getting so confused :-\
You just look in the development thread and download any RUU, like ansar's for example. Then download the stock "euro" rom from football's filefactory. Then you simply put the rom In the same folder as the ruu, run it and follo the instructions! Good luck.
