hi guys..i have a qtek 9100 g4 unlocked by hard spl...can you tell me what means downgrade before upgrade and how can i do it because wm5 contains ipl/spl?daca imi poate explica cineva in romaneste ar fii perfect /thanks !
This downgrade means reverting to your stock ROM. You stock ROM can be flashed to your device. (However you should remove HardSPL first because I don't know if it will cause RUU to treat your device as a G3).
However if this is your first time of HardSPL and you are already using stock ROM (i.e. never flashed), you can go ahead to flash WM6.
sorry...misunderstanding

1.i already patched with hard spl and i have a wm6 rom but before change wm6 roms i must downgrade to wm5 but i don`t know what is my old wm5rom and i suppose(but not sure)it was in german language so if i want to remove hard spl i must know for sure my old rom or there is another way to do that?
2.i don`t understand why i must downgrade everytime before upgrade to a new rom ,so if you enlight me i will thank you very much.
3.do you think the hard spl solution for ``unlocking``g4 wizards will brick my device?
....regards..
I want to back to the original rom too but im not sure i have already a cid unlocked g4 o2 mini s but the strange thing its when im in device info it says its wizard100 but im sure its a g4 so thats matters? thanks for your help.
so its there a problem if i go back to original o2minis iplspl or i have problems because in my device is wiz100 at the back of the battery said it is wiz200 what can i do please help.
Hey all, this is NOT a "howz to git to Windowze Mobiil 6.!!!!" post, but rather a question about "upgrading" a ROM. I am currently running TNT's Windows Mobile 6.1 Proffesional ROM, and I have just learned that there is any upgrade to that particular ROM, and would like to know if I can safely upgrade to it from WM6.1, or do I have to downgrade back to the Love ROM and then upgrade again. Heres my device history if it helps:
Device=Cingular 8125, SIM Unlocked(using Lokwiz 3.0)
Original ROM=Cingular WM5.0
Current ROM=TNT WM 6.1 V1
Heres how I upgraded it originally:
Got it home, used the HardSPL method to make my IPL/SPL 2.26.XXXX(so my device IS a G4), tried to upgrade to WM6.1...no luck. Discovered that you have to upgrade to the LOVE ROM first, so I tried that...again, no luck. So I then used the SoftSPL.exe to temporairily CID unlock my device I guess, and then proceeded to upgrade to the LOVE ROM, then to the TNT WM 6.1 V1 ROM.
Now, my device is working fine, and I would just like to know if I CAN upgrade to the new V2 ROM, and if what I did to get this far is correct. ANy help is appreciated!

My opinion is that flashing the LOVE ROM was a unnecessary step. I never do anything like that before changing ROMs (flashing a stock ROM and the like)
That almost answers your question except that having used SoftSPL your CID block is still locked and SPL knows it so you must either:
1- Flash SoftSPL before flashing the TNT
2- Flash the HardSPL to not worrying about it ever again when wanting to change ROMs (my option - if i had a G4)
hope it's clear
cheers
PS:
Use WST to check if you SPL is HardSPL'ed or not with "Device Info" option
"G4 SAFE" What does that mean???

I have a question about What G4 safe?
I uploaded a rom with HTCLogo.nb+Splash.nb+OS.nb (I assume that because there is no IPL/SPL it should be safe for G4????)

Absolutely right m8
As you can see from the pics only the IPL and SPL have versions depending on the DOC chip (G3 3.08 in this case )

Thanx So much!
FOR THE NON EXPERT USERS like me this is not a tutorial it's a question i wanna know if it's possible , cuz it's logicly possible
G4 G4 G4
i wannted to mention that i think from reading that the soft spl and hard spl is the same but the soft spl every time i flash i have to use and i don't think that it is hard or boring so
tell me experts what will happen to my G4 k-jam if i did this
copy the nk.nbf from the RADIO rom and put it in the soft spl folder like we do in Regular Roms to flash it
the nk.nbf from the rom only has a gsm i checked no spl or ipl or extrom or os or splash nothin just gsm
so what will happen to my runing rom TNT 19209 pro
i wanna know if it will addition the gsm only or it will brick my Wizard
Its probablly going to corrupt your current ROM. It wont brick your Wizard exactly, but youy wont be able to start your device....thats what happened to me when I tried something similiar anyways.

thx for respond in my stupid posts and i'm sure u think that i'm just noob and don't accept any new ideas my proplem that i just want to leave my spl and ipl the way they r
by the way
i can solve my proplem by flashing an imate official rom but i'm afraid to do that
cuz it have all spl and ipl and os and every thing and waht i should do to flash just open the exe downloaded file and proceed or what
a stupid question as useual da the official roms require a cid unlocked device in g4 or what and is there is any way that the official rom can be harmfull to my g4 Wizard
if this official is great for me and not harmfull it has a radio version that works fine with me after i flash the official rom i 'll soft spl to tnt again but this time with the old radio that works for me
what do u say ?
Yes, you can use SoftSPL to flash a new GSM ROM to your phone.
No, there's no way an official ROM can hurt your phone. They check your hardware and flash appropriately. For best results, stick to the original provider's ROM.
There's no reason to be concerned about leaving your IPL SPL unmodified. Even if you use HardSPL, you can still revert back to an official ROM, after removing HardSPL.
If you do a HardSPL, you can flash pretty much anything that doesn't include IPL/SPL, including new boot screens, new radios, and almost every recent ROM in the Wizard Mobile 6 thread.
The phone must be CID-locked to flash an official ROM. If you used HardSPL, you would have to remove it (read the sticky-ed thread in the top of the G4 board) before going back to an OEM ROM. If you try to flash a G4 with HardSPL in place, you risk bricking it.
The newer TNT-based ROMs do not (and should not) include a radio as part of the package.
Don't use older ROMs, they are less reliable, and more likely to brick a G4 than newer ROMs are. Use this thread to choose a good ROM after you flash back to the OEM ROM and HardSPL your phone. If you like TNT, you should probably use one of these versions.

Be carefull!
There are official pre-G4 ROMs, they do not contain a G4 IPL/SPL therefore a pre-G4 (G3-only) official ROM most certainly will brick your G4 device.
Several members have reported bricks due to this!
BTW soft-SPL was designed to flash anything, including Radio.

Just remove all the IPL/SPLs from the ROM.
No problem in flashing an stripped ROM.
Radio only flashing won't result in a corrupted ROM, but why with soft SPL?
Just flash hard SPL and feel the freedom of flashing with a RUU without using the sspl.

You better use your own brain rather than relying to an invisble friend, but yeah, the procedure should work.

I know the feeling!
I was really nervous when I first tried to reflash the bootloaders, however radio and OS ROMs aren't critical.
If the bootloader still works in good order you should be able to recover from almost any mishap.
Good luck!

Hi! I read the guide, for the locking the SPL for the warranty, but they provide the 1.90 version of spl. But my original SPL version is 1.94. So, my questions are:
Using the 1.90 on the htc that was sold with 1.94, it can make any problems? (for the daily use)
Can I upgrade again at 1.94 for the warranty? If yes, where can I download 1.94 original?
I've read also other posts.... wich ask the same: "How can I backup my original SPL vendor?"
But they havn't any answers. So ok, I'm a noob, but I DON'T find a guide to this... so plz help me about it, link me a guide, 'cause maybe I've searched in a bad way... this is a big forum, and there's a person who know the answer XD
And did you try wiki?

Use the 1.90 spl in the guide, then flash your stock rom. stock roms include spl so the spl will automatically be updated to 1.94 or whatever version of spl your stock rom has. for example the latest official roms 5.XX have spl version 5.XX also.
Best regards,
Alc
@alternativ: sure, but I don't find what I really search.. or maybe I did an insufficient search
@alcadeias: really? thanks! There was a missing piece in the puzzle

mhmmm thx a lot, but are you sure? If I don't installa an official SPL I can't install the rom, and if I put the original 1.90 the rom cannot recognize the spl, so, about your answer: re u sure?

yes i am sure. i know you want to be extra careful, so if you need extra reassurance you can ask Da_G or hilaireg. i recommend sending a pm or searching for a thread managed by hilaireg. he is very nice and to me at least he always replied even when i had noob questions . also he is very very tech savvy.
later edit: older versions of spl recognize newer versions. how do u think stock rom users upgraded from 1.9x roms to 5.xx roms. so you should have no problem upgrading from the 1.9 spl in the recovery thread to any newer version of rom (spl).
regards,
alc
It's normal if I upgrade to official HTC ROM, when I recover my data with Sprite Backup, (only) the version of the rom became the old version? But radio and protocol still remaining at the new version... it's only a bad indication or the rom is "switched" on the old rom? (after restore I don't need an hard reset, the phone just have an automatic soft reset)
Hi everybody,
i get a problem when i tried to flash my second HD2, flashed the first one without problems
i searched for spl 3.03 and i found other threads saying that we have to flash with stock ROM but the serial number doesn't match with the mskip list...
S/N is : HT01KNW03882 is there anyone who can tell me it 's from where ?
i bought it to a guy who get it with a contract it's under Orange french ROM and i'm in france so i get this french ROM:Leo_HTC_FRA_1.43.406.2_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2
but i get this message error during a sd card method (card was formatted in FAT32), after showing me the bootloader screen, in the grey back :00028002
Not allow
and then it returns in the tri color screen
sorry for the bad english and thanks in advance
Hello sir, honestly it isn't complicated.
You mention that it is a device who came from a contract under Orange.
So it is a Orange branded device.
So conclusion; you need this ROM: RUU_Leo_S_Orange_FR-B2B_3.14.73.2 Download!
And for your info; I have verified it with your S/N
thanks for reply !
this is the ROM i had already and the only one i can get from HTC whith the S/N you'r right but i tried that and it do not change spl
i just flashed it now with SSPL and a 1.43 french stock ROM but i just want HSPL on it

Mate, Im confused..
You said you have that rom installed/flashed but didnt change the SPL?
As I know, the stock rom version 3.14 contains SPL 3.03.0000. So, your hd2 should have had that spl now.
Try to check again in case you missed something.
Also please keep in mind that SPL 3.03.0000 are not compatible with HSPL at the moment. It will cause you trouble if you install HSPL over SPL 3.03
Cheers

that's the ROM i had when i get the phone and the only one i can get via HTC and the spl was only 3.03.0000 and do not change with flashing this ROM
now i have 1.43.french ROM and still this $&!รน^* 3.03.000 spl
ok i have successfully flashed the device with darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 using jayceooi's video because i saw the spl 3.03 in it

First of all I'm confused, If you already have this ROM; way your question about that you card find your stock ROM based on your S/N???
And secondly, way would you install stock ROM over SSPL??? Just use the normal installation proses. But in case you have HSPL on your device, remove it first. (HSPL isn't compatible with stock ROM 3.14)
was afraid when i saw that no S/N was like mine and i want HSPL because it's easy and i use it since Trinity without any probs.
flashed with SSPL because i really don't like Orange's ROM
If i understand correctly, you flashed with sspl and can't go back to hspl even after going back to stock rom. Its very easy to solve but difficult to find the required rom. All you have to do is download different kinds or should i say download an older version of the orange stock rom and install it on your device. That should solve your proplem, at least that how i was able to solve mine.

hehe, and that little piece of info is the cause of confisuion this mildly amusing thread,, , you see the only orange rom that has been released by HTC directly is the 3.14, (there is an earlier orange FR rom about, but i remember lots of people hunting high and low last summer for it) but the OP wants to downgrade to apply hspl.
@OP - give the one in post 2 a try HERE.
