Hi All
I recall reading a forum entry stating that its possible to install HardSPL or run the unlocker using the SD card method. However it didnt explain what the method involved.
Can someone provide a step by step gyuid to these if it is possible please. I have serached for the info but found nothing.
Thanx in advance
Asif
There is a description in the WIKI for instructions on how to flash from SD card.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
HI Galaxys
I have already read that but I thought it was only for ROMs. Does it also apply to the unlocker and HardSPL ? If so How ?

While I have not done it personally, I understand that any valid nbh will execute. SO, the HardSPL should work.
However, the unlocker is not an nbh file, so I do not think that will work. Much of the work is done by an executable on the device.

Hello guys!
I have read the Wiki, been through whole forum but I still have some questions.
I have a T-Com TC500, the same as Iteq s200. It is a G4 version. with original SW installed on it.
I would like to upgrade it to a newer ROM because I would like to get English language instead of german.
I read on the forum that one option is with the shell tool.
The other option should be directly with the RomUpdateUtility which comes in ie. Fantastic b4 step 1. What is then step 2?
There seems to be even the third option also with RUU but with using only .nbf file from the ROM.
I am totally confused about what I should do first.
I also read that it is reccomended to do the ROM dump on SD card but it is not possible with locked CID - what to do in order to avoid bricking your device.
I know that there are quite a lot of questions in my post, but would appreciate if you could help me.
THX, Zmelkoow
Fantastic Mobiz Step 1 write Splash Screen and new Ext_Rom with a WM5 ... its for 100% cleaning the QTEK. they use this way ... i dont know why ... but it works!
Step 2 write only the WM6 OS!! this type of writeing roms is easyer to handle ... you doesnt need any steps to build a rom ... save time!
you need both steps!
About CID ... you have right! Without CID unlocked device you cant make a dump ... but you dont need them! If you can enter the bootloader ... you can flash any rom. if you cant enter the bootloader ... sd-card is useless!
Tc500 same
Dear guys I have a TC500 same.Could you explain me what I have to do?What you mean for "write Splash Screen and new Ext_Rom" Do you mean that I have to put the part 1 of mobitz in a sd card a into the phone?and launch the installation?is to be the phone switch on or switch of,while I insert the sd card?Or other method?Thank you
Please, CID-Unlock first the phone and secure the ROM!!

Hey,
I'm pretty new here but I hope I can get some help here.
I got myself a HTC X7550 (Athena) and when I connected it with activesync a romupdate started through a mistake by me.
It told me de vendor ID was wrong but instead of restarting,
my ROM image on the device was GONE.
Is there a way to know the vendorID and to find the original ROM image?
Regards FRaccie
Download the zip fiel called: Hard-SPL(2).zip
Than have your x7500 plugged to your pc and make sure you are on the bootloader (the 3 color screen).
Now unzip the file and copy the files to a different folder and than run the file:ROMUpdateUtility.exe
This will get you out of there and you can reset the x7500 once it's done.
After that download the file:AthenaUnlocker.zip and follow the instruction on the screen. After that you could install wm6.
Which Hard SPL version?
Hello, which version of Hard SPL should we use? for the athena? am having the same problem as the above concern. kindly provide full link to the file. tnx.
See attached file (if it uploaded). If not you can search for it here in this forum.
Unlock in Bootloader
Hi JasJarMan. Your attached file was for Trinitiy device. Can this also be used for the X7500 ?
I need to unlock my X7500 from Bootloader if it is possible.
I can not find any ROM that installs on my X7500 and I am stuck in bootloader. My Telephone supplier has not released the original ROM as a flash- file and therefore I am afraid my device is currently bricked.
If I could get it back in original state I would be very happy and try unlock it before flashing again.

Thanks Boinger66 but according to the video / docu in this tread, the unlock are done in x7500's operative system. I am currently at Bootloader because I can not boot the device with any operativesystem.
Can the unlock application in the tread also be used in bootloader "modus" ?

It can't be flashed that i have been downloaded..
to use the PK ROM?
I have searched and searched and not found an answer.
This is an unlocked 7501 from the US. Do I need to use the OliPro Unlocker or something else? Can I just load the ROM directly from a flash card?
Thanks,

Most definitely. Yours is only SIM unlocked. You need to CID unlock with OLIPRO's unlocker.
Thanks..
Used the new 3.0 OliPro unlocker with all 3 steps and had no issues.

No worry mate. Glad that your journey was smooth.
Sorry for the newb question, but what do I get by unlocking it? thanks.
Unlocking enables you to put a new ROM image in place of the factory ROM that is on your unit.
ROM images, such as the PK Dual, can then be uploaded and installed in your Athena/Advantage giving you greatly increased functionality along with integrated updates for your hardware drivers.
While you could manually gather almost all of the updates that a ROM contains and install them yourself, the ROM conveniently packages these together and has been tested to make sure it is stable.
Unlocking using the new OliPro unlocker is a relatively painless and safe process that will open your device to ROM updates while creating a environment that makes it difficult to "brick" the device when you have problems with new ROM loads.
HOWEVER, make damn sure that your carefully read up on the process of readying your device for the unlocker, ALWAYS use the LATEST and CORRECT unlocker for your device and proceed cautiously. IF you aren't comfortable with the unlocker procedure, then DON'T try it. You can literally render your brand new $800 computer unusable with the only choice but to send it to HTC to be RMA'd and get a new one. Believe me, I know!
After the initial unlock procedure, your device becomes practically "bulletproof" for future ROM updates. But during the unlock procedure it IS vulnerable to problems.
Hope this helps!

although u should run the 3 steps on the unlocker,i only ran the 1st and 2nd coz the x7501 is simunlocked from the factory.word of advice,take the proper precautions and read ALOT before doing anything.enjoy!
Cool thanks for the info!

Hey all, since most people are asking for pictures and such on how to upgrade G4 Wizards to Windows Mobile 6 or better, I have gone ahead and made a text guide, with screenshots to follow along with, that also includes all of the files needed to upgrade a G4 Wizard with(along with credits to their coders.). It is uploaded to MediaFire, and the link is at the bottom of this post. Here is whats included:
How-to text guide, written by Myself
The Wizard Service Tool, by mestrini
The ActiveSync Setup.exe, for people that dont have it already
and SoftSPL, by the exuinoxe
PLEASE NOTE!!!-I did NOT include any ROM files with this package, YOU MUST supply the ROM of your choice yourself(this is stated in the guide aswell.).
Yes, it IS a SoftSPL guide, seeing as NO n00b understand how to make the HARDSPL method work. It is(imho) well written, and all of the screen shots are marked with arrows and such as to what to do next...so please, everyone download it and make improvements, criticize whatver. And please note!!

Great guide. I think it might flow better in a html format or posted on the forum here with the images linked offsite?
Hey, I'm a noob(ish) and I've managed to unlock my phone through HardSPL. Didn't think it was that hard.
But of course the 2 and a half years of Computer engineering school plus work experience manually loading roms into memory from the bootloader on an embedded system couldn't of hurt.
Can not find the upgradr guide
Hi ashasaur,
I am trying to download the upgrade guide from http://www.mediafire.com/?hzbx043cglm but it says not available, is there another way to wownload that please?
Thanks,

well, ive just tryed it, and it seems to still be there...try again perhaps?
Thanks
WORKS fine. Nice guide. Easy to follow.Thanks...
WM6.1
Hey guys,
I was wondering where can we find WM6.1 rom??? Also, would it work on an HTC wizard G4? Are there extra steps involved?
By the way, I'm running TNT 1.9199 Rom... If I upgradew to WM6.1, will it wipe out this rom too?
Thanx,
Phil

Upgrade to TNT 19213 series,its wm6.1. Yes ! flashing a new rom will completely wipe out and replace the existing rom and files,its just like formatting the Hard drive of pc while installing a new OS.
can u give me a rom pls i only have my spv m3100 for one day and the guide is very easy to follow but i don't know what rom to use please help
I start Wizard Service Tool an click on [Enable Rapi. and Unsigned Apps].
After this it comes about 20 seconds later that all is ok an i can do the following steps. When i go to Device Info i get this:
On Wizard Service Tool i have got this Message:
Warning!
A device was detected but one (or both) of RAPI
Communications and Applications Policy isn't
enabled.
Use first button for that purpose and try again
Can anybody tell me why?
I have try softreset an do all steps again. Not better.
Engersen
are you using a G3 of G4 device? Again I say, THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR G4 WIZARDS!
I have got a G4.
My Wizard show on start IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.0001.
Any ideas for my Problem?
Thx Engersen
hmmm, I would just go ahead and skip that step then, and start after it, with the SoftSPL and such. Just read and you should be fine.
Really? Without Wizard Service Tool?
I can try it. I hope all works great after this.
WST is not interest because SoftSPL do the temporary CID Unlock. Right?

Sometimes, 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS' doesn't get executed automatically by WST Tool,so its recommended to manually copy and paste these two files in the phone and execute them,you'll find these files in the installation folder of the Wizard Service Tool folder in the 'Files' folder in the Program Files on C:\ drive.But WST Tool doesn't CID unlock a G4 device,so if you want to upgrade,then read and follow the methods 'SoftSPL or HardSPL posted as stickies in the this G4 forum.
Yes i know that WST is not unlock CID.
I use the package from first Post. There is SoftSPL inside to unlock. Right?
Ok, i think i have following steps to do.
Copy both files 'EnableRapi' and 'Cert_SPCS' to Wizard and execute them.
Then Unlock CID with SoftSPL and follow all other steps from Userguide of Package from the first page. Right?
Thx for help and greetz from Germany
It ist possible downgrade back to WM5 if WM6 is not my like?
Engersen
of course, though you will need to follow one of the downgrading guides here on the forums, as I do not know the exact steps.
Ok, thank you for help. In German all was easy for me. Now i want to ask for everything
Downgrading to official wm5 depends on the method with which you upgraded. If you upgraded through SoftSPL,there's no further procedure,just flash the official rom,coz SoftSPL doesn't change the official original IPL/SPL,but if you upgraded through HardSPL,than you'll first have to remove HardSPK revert back to original IPL/SPL and then flash the official rom,as HardSPL flashes the patched IPL/SPL and its changed.
ok guys im not a total noob in flashed but id like to be safe than sorry...so anyone can point the way to a step by step on hardspl hermes? lol this is well my forth fone being flashed(2x wizards,kaiser) killed my first wizard flashed G3 rom on a G4 i knw i knw i suck.lets hope that never happens again.anyway any feedback will help thankz.
Go to the sticky about Hard SPL, download Hard SPL V7 from 1st page then go to page 116, post 1160 for sd card method...
Hope this helps...
yeah thankz will check it out
Check out this link, i think it'll also help u out

ok thanks guys got my hermes yesterday and downloaded hard spl v7,quick question do i need to install sim and cid unlocker v3a or should i just run the hard spl Ruu and flash it?
1 more lame noob question lol do i have to flash my rom with the sd card method?
Sim and CID unlocker is required just to unlock ur ppc to use on any sim, as the super cid function is already merged in hard spl v7.
Try to use the sd card method, as the risk factor is minimal in this method as compared to active sync method. as there are may cases of broken usb connections here.
hey guys thanks i finally did it!!!! i used activesync method because only getting my sd card later on today,my bootloader is now ipl 1.04 spl 2.04 olipro. heres the steps i followed firstly downloaded hard spl v7,then fully connected to activesync,i ran the RUU but instead of getting the red option like everyone descriped it said "force sspl" anyway i continued and followed the prompts and it worked!! so now i got my herm200 ready to flash a custom rom.thanks to everyone who helped and happy flashing guys....one last question though now after i download a rom of my choice can i just run the RUU and flash it?
sorry posted my new spl wrong. its ipl 1.04 spl 2.10.olipro
Cool, yeah you should be able to though I'd use the sd card method to flash - just drop the steps using SSPL.exe... Its a hell of a lot safer and I wouldn't do it any other way for a radio rom, stuff up a radio rom flash you can pretty much kiss the phone functions goodbye...
Cheers...
