I read somewhere in the forums that the first step is not nessesary to run...If i do a hard reset only and then flash the WM6 os will it work?
It will work.. but is not advisable...
And why is that...?I mean if i do a hard reset and then flash the wm os is the same as flashing the wm5 os from step1 and then flashing the wm6 os from step2. In both situations we have a clean rom.

Step 1 is a NVID ROM, that why it's used...
I forgot to mention that my prophet is a G4.So why should i install the NoVENDOR rom? Sorry if i ask too many questions but i'm trying to understand why should i install the 1t step?
You need to run step one because the update.bat process uses utilities that are not supported by wm6.
So step one downgrades your device first so that the tools are compatible.

Follow THIS guide. You will be able to downgrade to WM5 again but it is not as simple as running the RUU.

Dear Friend,
I read all posts about HardSPL
But the question is:
What's the differ between Old Method and New Method(Hard SPL)?
If I install PDIViet_Temp rom first and Install new WM6 or WM6.1 or 7 after it hanging in boot screen and freezing is apperar and IF i use HardSPL method the problems not occur?
Thanks
WHy is needed ?
* More STORAGE area ! the smaller the os.nb the larger your storage!
I encourage all of you who haven't tried this method yet, to try this method. Specially if your favorite rom is relatively a clean rom and consequently has small os.nb. If you want to know how much extra storage you will get by using this method subtract the size of the os.nb (in kb) from 58,368. the difference will be the amount of storage you will gain when you try this new method.
* Faster and safer Rom Upgrade.. If you do install PDAVIET first and overwrite its Data later. It takes more time.
Without HARDSPL. Big Storage mode can't be use.
hma4 has wrote it. Why no one read it??

You can always revert your spl by flashing an operator ROM such as teh Orange WM5 ROM available on the FTP server.
Or O2 ROM Germany.
Info on O2 Germany Website HERE
Download XDA neo original ROM.Version 215447 2154140 021921 (ca. 50 MB)
HERE
or XDA neo RACE Edition.Version 215448 2154141 021921 (ca. 51 MB)
HERE
Different between them?
Nothings different, just first and second SPLASH Screen. And Price Different for XDA Neo Race Edition.
Race Edition is more expensive.

Old method needs to downgrade before you can upgrade. It needs batch files as well as ROM files etc.

This is because HardSPL prevents certain checks being performed, so that the ROM can boot without being an official ROM. Without it, the SPL part of the loading mechanism refuses to boot the OS and instead reverts to bootloader.
The official way to upgrade your Prophet is to use the Rom Update Utility (RUU) provided by your vendor. The RUU is very convinient; it has all the OS files packed together in one archive, so nothing can be misplaced and it is executed just by connecting your device to your PC, no preparation needed. This RUU has the nasty habit the check your Prophet by using the SPL. If your device isn't the same brand (like Q-tek, Dopod, O2, XDA, etc, etc,) it just refuses to work. Because of this it was practical unpossible to post a universal upgrade overhere.
Some genius people developped a way to replace the OS through the "backdoor". With the help of this set of hacking tools it became possible to upgrade your Prophet with a universal, homemade ROM. However, because of the complexity of this method (now refered to as the "Old Method") it was very funurable to errors an needed a lot of preparation. Also the OS-file cannot be combined in one single archive as with the RUU. The cange of loosing or misplacing one is there.
So the challenge became to find a way to use the RUU without the check. So other genius people find out a way to manipulate the SPL so the RUU will bypass its check and will work as if it was released by an offical vendor.
This SPL manipulation can be done for one time use only use SoftSPL (JumpSPL), the original SPL will stay resident but is bypassed prior to running the RUU. If you flash a lot this method is time consuming, but the advantage is that it won't interfere with your device (except upgrading the OS ofcourse...)
An other way is to use HardSPL. This will replace your SPL with a manipulated version wich will stay resident until you install another SPL. This way the first flash-cycle will be a bit complicated but the following atempt will be as easy as connecting your device to a non-Vista PC and run the provided RUU.
The downsite of this successtory is that it installing the HardSPL seems to be a tricky procedure where a lot of people obvious are making a lot of mistakes.

First backup anything you like to keep. Installing HardSPL will erase all data
Install HardSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
to install HardSPL you need to download:
SSPL 1,16
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=63902&d=1199210757
HardSPL 1,15
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=73353&d=1204286404
and Flash-uspl-niki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=63944&d=1199227284
and then just follow step 1-9 (skip 7)
when this is done, it will enable you to flash any rom of your choise
After flashing my charmer with wm 6.1 it was stuck at the Boot Screen and my phone no longer made a hard reset as it give formatting failed error.
Then i went to download an official WM5 rom from Tmobile, then I went into bootloader and successfully flash the official ROm. But again format error
Now it just shows
IPL 3.08
SPL 3.08.0000
GSM 02.69.21
OS 3.8.2.21
I tried the prophet ROM flashing as advised somewhere else but it failed at 95% giving me invalid nbh error
In the past I had successfully solved the problem by flashing the prophet ROM but this time .......
Any complete help or specially cooked Prophet ROM for this type of recovery...
You better not to flash Prophet ROM to charmer. Charmer wiki, compatibility section

But this is for recovery puposes as described somewhere else
Nobody seems to be interested to take pains in solving my problems
I do.
You have to flash with a SDcard. Search the Propet and Wizard section to find out how it works.

Thanks Mr ChrBeck!!!
But I think that some way of downgrading the the SPL to 2.?? from the current 3.08 would allow me to install the PROPHET ROM for recovery and then it would be possible for me to upgrade to orignal WM5 ROM and then upgrade to your lovely ROM that I had before your latest upgrade.
Am I right or if not then can you give me the necessary files and instructions for the sd card recovery method.
Please help me as no one in my locality knows much about CHARMER and simply unable to help me in this aspect.
Thanks again.
Dr.Zia ur Rehman
I'll try to help you. In the Wizard forum there is a sticky whitch tells how to do the SDrecovery. Just search it. With the SD Card you can just fully flash a ROM. You can't downgrade anything because downgrades are looked.
If I'll find the sticky this evening I can post the link here.
Cant there be some kind of HARD SPL for this ..... charmer that would allow me to flash the prophet ROM fully. In this way I had recovered my CHARMER but I think that at that time it had lower version of IPL or SPL so the full PROPHET ROM was sucessfully installed and I was able to hard reset and flash the orignal T-Mobile ROM that I think upgraded my SPL too!!!
There is no hardSPL. Noone ever designed one. And if the Prophet trick doesn't work you can try it with a G3 Wizard ROM too. But if that doesn't help to search for the SDUpdate!
To do an SD update you must have a ROM dump on SD card from bootloader.
Method can be found here. Section 8. OS, GSM Image Reflash Procedure
Thanks for finding it for us. There was a time I read this manual completely but I don't know much of it anylonger.
Charmer needs to be CID unlocked to perform SD card flashing.
I agree. I just forgot to mention this.
Then forget it. You can't CID unlock a 2.x or 3.x. So this method is out.
How can I confirm that my charmer is CDI unlocked???
Any if this is the case then what to do with my poor CHARMER....
ANY HOPES OF ITS RECOVERY in some other manner???
Also can you post link to the wizard ROM you mentioned in your post for recovery ???
THANKS IN ANTICIPATION !!!
Well, you have a boatloader over 1.x right? If so your device can't be unlocked. But you can try to flash any WM5 ROM for Wizard. But be sure it is jast the ROM. No phone or bootloader in it.
Maybe that works.
Would you be kind enough to post a link to the proposed ROM to which I can give a try?
Is this would be possible to flash any specialiy cooked Prophet ROM only with OS as the complete Prophet ROM (with no ID RUU)gives me error at 95%.
Further isn't there a way to downgrade my spl that would allow me to flash prophet ROM that confirmly worked for me in the past.
Please help i am in great trouble.......
