I have got the Hermes
ipl:1.01 spl:1.06
I have got the olipro's customruu
I have got the WM6 custel rom.
I only want to flash OS.
Steps:
1. put the customruu and nbh(only OS) in the folder
2. Flash the rom using SSPL option
Coz i dont want to change the SPL version, and i think flashing only OS will not brick my device.
Plz confirm this steps.
AND if ill flash the hardsplv7 will i be able to go back to spl 1.06and how? Please tell.
You can return to SPL 1.06 But i wouldnt recommend it, 1.06 is also known as 'the brick maker'. LOL
Seriously flash HardSPL v7 BEFORE you try ANYTHING else.
mrvanx i have read your guide, its awesome.
But if at all i need it for warranty reasons, can i get it back(IPL and SPL).
Thanks
YES, relax dude.
get flashing
Thanks really appreciate your help.
And to say another thing my company (imate) hasn't released any official ROM for my phone, i have checked the wiki there are roms similar from which i can extract the IPL and SPL and OS which i will need maybe in future.
And i have read that to change the IPL and SPL i need to make a .nbh containing only IPL and SPL and flash it using SSPL option of custom ruu, am I right on this.
Thanks
Yes the procedure is:
Split the .nbh (from an imate ROM...or ANY with IPL and SPL that you want)
into the component .nb files using duttys NBH tool (v1.1 i think).
Then rebuild a new .nbh using ONLY the IPL and SPL bits.
Then flash it with customRUU and (yes correct) select the force SSPL option.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much i think you have helped me alot.
Thanks again, for being so freindly.

NOW it is possible to downgrade SPL. Just flash HardSPL, after that you can DOWNGRADE SPL to any SPL you want!!!

When you first flashed HardSPL, which verson of the SPL was shown after reboot? That, what you had before, or the new one, of the HardSPL? I am asking, because I managed to keep the original O2 2.15 SPL and I really dont want to channge it (for repair reasons
After flashing the patched HardSPL I see 2.G4.4PDA (I have a G4 XDA Neo)! But the good news are that you now can flash all SPL versions you want, like the original 2.15 when it's inside of your ROM image and you can see it after rebooting!
How to use Hard SPL if a can't pass bootloader?
I tryed hard SPL, but after upgrading it back to 2.20.001., and I can't pass even to "Windows mobile" screen and it is frozen this position.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
OK im not a new to windows mobile, i have flashed before many times but with wizard.
I want to upgrade my brother hermes,
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
Im quite familiar with wizards "shelltool" (if you know) which just boots the OS and nothing else.
So can you guide as which tool i should use to just upgrade the OS and leave IPL and SPL and GSM as it is. I think SSPL should do??
Check out THIS MOST AWESOME GUIDE. MrVanx is the best and his guide will give you all you need.
But im in warranty, and i dont wanna lose it by overwriting spl,
Is there any other way to upgrade.
I think SSPL will do but not sure do i need to check for CID also??
Thanks for quick reply.
If your warranty is important, then I would read it very closely.
Probably only upgrades available from your manufacturer or your service provider would be allowed, and in that case you follow their instructions to the letter and if something goes wrong, it's up to them to resolve.
If you go loading WM6 and it's not supported, then you'll be on your own so you might as well load best/safest IPL & HARDSSPL as the experts have so wonderfully published for us lesser experienced people.
If it was my brothers phone, I wouldn't touch it because he'd either hit me or be bugging me for weeks about different versions & software etc, etc, etc
That's just my 2cents anyway.
Good luck! Oggy.

I would suggest not flashing a radio if you don't flash Olipro's HardSPL.
But SSPL will allow you to bypass the CID check for roms, similar to the shelltool for Wizards.
I have learned now to decompile and compile the nbh file.
So i can compile now any rom with OS only and flash it via SSPL.
Can anybody guide me to a guide to use SSPL. OR can u say???
I have one more confusion regarding SSPL that it does change the SPL for time being(for flashing) or for always??
Again if anything goes wrong while flashing the rom(only OS) will i be able to flash the original rom directly with original SPL.
I have upgraded my 838pro to IPL - 1.04, SPL- 2.10 Olipro , Radio 1.43.00.00, OS is Black Majik .
Is it possible to upgrade from officially released wm06 rom from dopod (when its released), will it work, or give me problems.
I am newbie to upgrades. so i dont know technical things like hardspl etc.
Thanks

Yes it is possible, but your SPL will be overwriten..
If you want to keep HardSPL, you need to extract the official SPL from the official ROM so it doesn`t get flashed onto your device

INCORRECT sir.
HardSPL will not allow a retail SPL to flash over it.
The RUU which HTC will no doubt supply it with will probably not detect your device correctly (since you are using a superior SPL hehe).
Copy ther nbh file contained in the update to a folder and use RUUWrapper.exe which will flash it no problem (use autodetect).
One more foolish question
Is my device super CID bec of hardspl, if not, if i make my device super cid, will it give me added benefits.

The only benefit of SuperCID is you can read/write to the ext_rom in windows mobile.....so not really a great benefit.
HardSPL reports itself as SuperCID.....but your device is NOT. Essentially your device is virtually SuperCID.
Thanks
Thanks a lot sir.

When I have gone back from a WM6 ROM to the Official (WM5) AT&T ROM I flashed the older (1.04 I wanna say?) version of HardSPL and it works fine and gets overwritten to the 1.11. Then if I go back to WM6 I just reflash HardSPL v7 and it works fine. I'm not sure if that actually does make it official, but I know based on the startup and bootloader screens, after going to the old HardSPL then using the AT&T Updater, everything says 1.11 and looks the same as it did before I started putting cooked ROMs on my phone.
What if its exe file
how do i extract the nbh from exe file.
How to extract nbh from exe
how do i extract nbh from exe to flash it to hardspl, i dont want to downgrade my spl
Use winrar.
Right click on the file and "open with winrar"
Question?

Hi mrvanx,
Just a quick question regarding your answer to Shamanix...
You said here that all he needs to do is copy the their nbh file in the update and use the RUUWrapper to flash it... Surely he needs to extract only the rom, ext rom, and radio? Then recompile to a nbh file to flash?
The original nbh file is still going to contain the spl & ipl which will cause problems not so?
Sorry if i am butting in here
Regards.

The flash will go ahead as normal but the SPL and IPL will NOT be written over.
Either that or just use the repackaged version of the official WM6 dopod ROM ive posted in the WM6 section.

Hi!
I'am a noob in this stuff and my english is also not to good
I have to give my TYTN to warranty service. and I have to downgrade my SPL to original version (1.11), because I'm worried that they will not accept my warranty.
Please help me to downgrade to SPL 1.11 from HARD SPL
I've got original HTC rom 2.11 with hard SPL
I've found some instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
But here is only downgrade to 1.06 or 1.04. Is it possible to downgrade to 1.11?
Thank You very much for Your help!

Yes. It is possible and easy.
Get a copy of the SPL 1.11 and use it instead of the 1.06 or 1.04 mentioned in MrVanx's guides.
Now, assuming that the reason you wrote this is that you do not HAVE a copy of it, then I will tell you how to get it.
Download a full ROM from the wiki LOOK HERE that has many shipped ROMs (including some with SPL1.11 LIKE THIS ONE )
Use WinRAR (or equivalent) to unrar the EXE file of the ROM you just downloaded
You will get an .NBH file and an RUU file.
Use dutty's good nbh tool to decompile the .NBH file.
You will get many .NB files, including one called SPL.NB
Use dutty's good nbh tool to build an .NBH file from the SPL.NB file.
Now you have an SPL1.11 .NBH file that can be used in place of the 1.06 and 1.04 files referenced by MrVanx.
Maybe a request is in order
This seems to be a recurring post. Apparently many folks would like to go back to an older SPL version (likely for warranty reasons). How about somebody build an AT&T or better yet Cingular SPL that came shipped with the 8525s branded by Cingular. Mine ran WM5, but I haven't had any luck finding that ROM online. I suppose the warranty would be covered with WM6, but I would no doubt need the orignal SPL if I want anything covered. So I guess, all we would need is a Wrapper bundled with the .SP file that would restore the orignal SPL. We could load an original AT&T / Cingular ROM, followed by installing the SPL.
That might cut back on some of these posts asking how to...
Well, probably not, but it would be a nice sticky.
Thanks for help.
I've downloaded all the stuff. But the ROM is RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe
It's exe file and i dont know how to get Ruu...nbh file.Could You help me?
Another option, assuming you have 2.10 olipro spl now- use mrvanx guide to downgrade to 1.10 oli, then reflash factory rom from htc america site, this will also flash the bootloader to the most current, spl 1.11 worked for me....

Use WinRAR (or equivalent) to unrar the EXE file of the ROM you just downloaded
You will get an .NBH file and an RUU file.
with the new CustomRUU, if you select the "Unsafe SSPL" you can flash any SPL you wish.
It's patched SPL 2.20
1. Run SSPL (SoftSPL) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347348
2. Flash HardSPL for your DOC
Yes, really was not hard to patch.. glad it worked))) so, this disables CID and some other checks, so you can flash any custom rom
i have hard SPL/IPL 3.08 will ir work?
newbe here.
What does device root mean?
is it my prophet?
is root windows directory
Looks promissing.
So, as I understand, you don't have to "downgrade" your firmware everytime you want to try a new ROM?
This looks great.
You made our life much easier I think this should be a Sticky
for those of you who dosen't really know what this does.
follow the procedure (soft SPL then hard SPL) and you would never ever need any extra steps before upgrading to wm6.
EDIT: Okay I made it easier. I made a batch file to do the work. (Soft SPL then Hard SPL)
just run the Upgrade_SPL.bat from your PC. It will do the Soft and Hard SPL
Thanks Prislav for this great work
Test to patch a G4 prophet : ok
IPL and SPL version seem differents
IPL : 2.10.00
SPL : 2.G4.4PDA
Test to flash my proper ROM : ok for the moment.
Whaô, WM6 update with progress bar, Fantastic.
Reflexion :
Rom update launched from WindowsMobile synchronised with ActiveSync with patched RUU for Wizard.
My Prophet seems to be reconized by the RUU like a Wizard but upgrade work.
Finally :
Perfect job Prislav it work like a charm, our Prophet are now like other recents HTC devices. It rock : only 10minutes to flash a ROM with special SplashScreen
Now :
Flash just finished, all is ok Prislav, you are the BOSS
Question :
Do a patched RUU for Vista exist ?
Perfect for G4 Prophet...
Wooo! Done!
WOW!
I just tried this, and it's amazing! I tried flashing my Original ROM and it worked. Even the SPL was updated. The only thing that it didn't change was IPL. If you broke your phone and have warranty, this is THE easiest way to get the Vendor ROM back. I would even venture to say this is the best tool yet for Flash-a-holics. Thank you so much!
Sounds great, but what about warranty?
Do we lose it if we change hard spl?
worth to try....
This is really an evolution (or is it revolution? ).
lol this removed my spl 3.08,really amazing tool,thanks prislav,big thanks.
IS HardSPL necessary if CID Unlocked ???
I CID unlocked my G4 M600 with the known paid service.
So do i need to HardSPL my phone and why???
Please somebody explain...
as i think,if you have hardspl,you will never be able to brick your phone.correct me if i was wrong.
Can a G4 be bricked? I was under the impression that the G4 was unbrickable. All the bricks I've ever heard of were G3 devices. I mean one can get stuck at bootloader and the like, but I've always got my phone back. Even had a Wizard ROM on there, and even that didn't brick it (although that time I thought it was toast!)! Like zeroed said, it will help you get your SPL back if you have that problem, and I think it's just an amazing tool for flashing in general.

Anyone pleaassseee ?????
I just need to be totally shure about this.. If i run this hard spl thingy patch on my G4 prophet i do not need to downgrade to wm5 everytime i want to try a new wm6 rom, if i currently are using a wm6 rom ?
And how do you guys flash a wm6 rom with the RUU utility ? I haven't seen any WM6 rom yet using RUU..
Just a little confused, sorry!
You wont need upgrading to wm5 - i recommend that you never flash full roms to avoid spl reflashing after hard-spl. the best practice will be to use nb2nbf to generate nbfs for your os, splash and gsm separately
Wait a second. Why should we avoid SPL reflashing after HardSPL??? I already flashed back to my original SPL and re-flashed HardSPL without any problem. What is the danger of doing this?
