Okay, flame away.....I've searched 9 ways to freakin Sunday but cannot find my way back, I know I have seen a posting here somewhere that had all the shipped SPL's available, dang if I can find it now. I am downgrading for a warranty hit and need SPL 1.11. Checked the Wiki but........my keyword generator (that m/t space 'tween my ears) is not coming up with a search string that is leading me back to the light.....have already taken it back down from 2.10 olipro but must get this back to 1.11 b4 the new rig arrives Monday....apologies in advance
Thanks
Try The wiki
Just d/l a ROM that has the SPL
Use rar to decompile the exe
Use dutty's good nbh tool to disassemble the nbh
Then, you will have an SPL.nb file
Use dutty's good nbh tool to rebuild the SPL.nb file back into an nbh (do this carefully)
THEN, flash that with the custom RUU that you have been using to flash.
MrVanx Guides may help you to.
Read the wiki? ........read it, searched it, didn't find it. Really not asking about how, but about where. Course I could have my head way up my a$$ but I swear I have seen these already broken out and in a list or table.....
I do appreciate the info on one way to get there, will go that route if I cannot find it already parsed.
Anyone seen this table / list I am talking about, it had all the different SPL listed.......

Did you click the like to the wiki in my previous post? The words "The wiki" are a hyperlink.
Yep, I had that one bookmarked but was looking for a posting that had several SPL already broken out. I appreciate your effort to help and am beginning the process you laid out in your initial response.
Thanks, I will post here if I run into any probs, the new (probably refurb'd) unit should arrive tomorrow. I have taken it back from 2.10 olipro to 1.10 oli and back to the shipped WM5 version, all third party apps removed as well.
Solved
Reflashed HTC/ATT rom after reverting from 2.10 olipro to 1.10 oli and voila! back to original SPL1.11.......finally dawned on me why I had to use 1.10 oli as a go between 2.10 and the factory SPL, because 1.10 oli will allow you to flash 1.11 whereas 2.10 would not, so easy enough to re-flash.
Thanks todd_jg

What I have now:
OS: Black 2.0 Cingular edition
Boot Loader: 1.01
Radio BL: 108
Radio: 1.38.10
what I want:
OS: WM 5 from the 1.34 cingular release
Boot Loader: Loader from the 1.34 cingular release
Radio BL: AFAIK you can't downgrade these so staying at 108
Radio: 1.16.00.00
How I plan to get there:
take the .nbh form the 1.34 cingular package and use RUU to flash the device.
Questions and concersion:
I'm looking for input on possible incompatabilities and hang-ups with varios BL versions and what not.
comments / feedback on my plan would be greatly appreciated and I will build a monument in your name if you help .
This has been covered before...
But, since you're well on your way to brick-ville, I'll buy your phone off you for, say, $100? It'll be worth less after you brick it...
Read up on the W*I*K*I and Oli's 1.40.Olipro bootloader before you do something dumb.
I did read it.
And thats the plan I came up with.
I was looking more for a confirmation.
The wiki has a ton of great info but its laid out reall crappy and not very cohesive. So I figured I'd post what I've came up with after reading it to see if I missed something. And from there maybe get more specific input on where the issues/dependencies are..... or maybe not.

I really appreciate the feedback. At least you're letting me know my plan wont work. Which will prevent me from trying it. But it would be kick ass if you could be more specific about what in the wiki i missed like :
-you can't flash the entire .nbh file cause it will try to replace your boot load and break it.
or
- Re-read the THREADS about 1.40 SPL because *something useful here*
Either way I'm still thankful cause I know my plan is a **** sandwich.
Very good.. You're getting there! It's nice to see someone read some directions..
You have it mostly right.. Flash the HardSPLv6 first. Then, grab the .nbh from the cingular rom and combine it with CustomRUU. Choose 'Autodetect' (we're looking for a hard-spl flash)..
Then, once that's done, you'll have the right radio, OS, splash, etc.. The only thing left would be to down-grade the bootloader, which I would advise against.. But, you can do it.. There is a seperate thread on HOW to do that, as it isn't just a one-step process.. Search and ye shall find.
Thank MAn!!! That kicks ass.
I need to send my phone back because the radio dies every 5 mintes.
So I want to get it as close to factory as possible.
So after I downgrade the BL i won't be doing anymore flashing to that phone.
Sometimes when I soft reset the phone is says "No GSM" even when sim is there. Soft reset it again and the radio is detected.
Very irritating.
Check out:

Flash your original IPL & SPL versions.
F-ya! That last part about down grading the BL is the part I was having trouble pinning down.
One last question:
Can I use the cingular NBH or will it try to flash the RBL and crash because you can't down grade the RBL
the the new mrvanx page is dope. found the donwgrade guide.

Pof,
I did it this way but after flashing the radio rom I get no GSM and then I'm stuck in the Windows Mobile Screen.
I have looked in the Wiki but how can I actually unbrick?
My SPL is still 1.40 Oli. But I can't get activesync to work.
Should I flash the new radio via SD card or any other way (mtty?)
I would be very gratefull for any help,

I have been there mrvanx guide. but he don't have the solution to this problem. Just to downgrade the rom to wm5 not the SPL.
mysharif i think we have to shout again.
Help us anybody there we are stuck here.
OK guys the SPL downgrade can be done by downgrading to SPL 1.10.oli then flash any ROM with SPL 1.04 in it.
The only reason i can see that you wish to downgrade to 1.04 is because of a warranty issue. What is the problem with your devices??
You are great. I hope it will work for my Imate JasJam. Last night I was flashing my ROM with the original ROM but modified with NBH decomplie too by dutty. Before that I wrecked my device as I used the flashing of ROM using the latest sensation of loading the SSPL to RAM by des. That was my mistake that I used the original ROM. Then I removed the USB cable as it was taking too much time and because of danger to my imate I did that. Anyhow I got the NO GSM error but then I ran the Dutty's WM6v2 cooked ROM and it fixes all the things I am using it now.
The reason for my Imate JasJam degrade is my jog is not working according to its function. You know jumping from field to field. I didn't found any of that problem solution till the page of 30 in threads and posts. I am searching but if anybody knows the link. Kindly help me. So that I will save a trip to see the warranty people. (here we don't have ladies receptionists )
Sorry for the stupid question, how do I downgrade from Oli 2.10 to Oli 1.10
Il write a guide on it...too many PMs about this.

I have the same problem. My touchscreen is dud and Softbank is very anal about the bootloader and warranty. im stuck with Olipro 2.10 and tried flashing the latest softbank rom. When i try via USB/Windows it gives me error 260.
Flashing with MicroSD works, but after a few attempts, its still Olipro bootloader...any ideas?

Ofcourse...because flashing an original RUU it doesnt recognise the new bootloader (Hence your 260 error), and HArdSPL doesnt allow itself to be overwritten by a retail RUU. IF you read through the HArdSPL threads you would know this.

Hmmm, just yesterday (Thursday) I was asked by a VP at our company if that could be done. I was reluctant to say yes, but mrvanx comes thru with a fix.
The VP is in fact worried about having to return some devices to Vodafone, and he want to make them look "original" when they go back.

Just flash SPL 1.10.oli.......................then flash a vodaphone ROM, dont use 'force SSPL', just use autodetect.
well to get spl 1.04 all u have to do is take rom koch and the wm5 rom u are downgrading to. first downgrade os. then take that rom and using rom koch split it into parts and just take the spl and make it into a nbh and use the custom ruu on here. select force sspl and itll make ur spl 1.04. this is a quick guide and do this at own risk. using this method i got my first 8525 to aku 3.5 att and original spl. if marvanx comfirms i didnt make any mistakes i can make a new thread with pics and all so we cna add this to resources and stop the questions.

Hi mrvanx, some input to go into your guide (in case you havent come across this yet).
While flashing 1.10Oli under Vista, users may run into a problem where after loading SSPL and the phone goes into (SSPL) bootloader mode, the RUU program cannot detect the phone and returns an error.
This is due to the Vista drivers for HTC USB Sync. The driver needs to be manually "updated" just like in your Vista flashing guide. In this case, while the phone is in SSPL bootloader mode, go into device manager, replace the default HTC USB Sync driver with the USBAS one from your Vista flashing guide.
Then soft reset the phone, and try again. Worked for me.
For some reason, SSPL bootloader may appear as a different device to Windows than the hard/standard bootloader, so even if the Vista procedure has been performed before, it looks like it needs to be done also for SSPL.
I have a new (refurb) Cingular 8525. Ihave been doing a lot of reading and research. The amount of information available here, Is damn near intimidating. The first thing I need to do is flash the radio. The shipped version is 1.16.00.00, and the signal strength is terrible. Since everyone here, sends the newbies to Mr Vanx tutorials that is where I started. I flashed to Olipro 2.10. And my bootloader confirms the flash worked. The next step is to flash the radio. But his instructions say to use autodetect. This does not work. So I went to the Olipro post for v7 and he says in his instructions that autodetect will no longer work, force SSL. But later in that thread when this question is asked, the person is told that if he knows that it is 2.10, then check that box and the one that says is it hard SPL. When I try that it warns that it is for version 1.11...etc. I would really appreciate some good advice. Thank you in advance, for reading this far.

The conflict is actually that the custom_ruu has been updated to properly auto detect. You can either A) get the new Custom_RUU (and that should work) or B) just select Oli2.10 and check the box for HardSPL and keep going.

Thank you for your prompt reply. And forgive me for questioning your advice. Is the latest radio 1.50 packaged with the latest Custom RUU? I downloaded the one from This Thread in the resources sticky. And it still could not query the device. And if I try the method you suggested it gives me the following warning:
"Please be aware that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and you MUST have 1.11 Hard-SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned files."
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I have flashed my "Wizard" literally (see my signature) hundreds of times. With only a couple of minor errors. I would like to upgrade to WM6, in the very near future. But I paid too much money to brick this sucker!! (Read: My wife would kill me!)
Anyone else have any insight to this? I'm having the same gut wrenching inhibitions about trying out the vp3g rom because of this
"Please be aware that this flasher is intended solely for SPL 1.11 and you MUST have 1.11 Hard-SPL installed in order to flash any unsigned files"
error in the RUU
The RUU from that thread should autodetect, but if it isn't you may have a comm error with your USB. I am 99% sure you can just select and go, but I won't bet your Hermes on it. With HardSPL you are virtually brick-proof. If you use force SSPL, you will bypass HardSPL. I would do the following:
1. While NOT connected to USB, put the phone in bootloader mode
2. Connect the phone to the USB (this will prevent ActiveSync from hogging the port).
3. Start the RUU
4. Manually select Olipro 2.1
5. Do it.

The Hermes Wiki needs to be updated as the old Custom RUU is posted and Olipro new RUU is only available in the thread mentioned above. I discovered this a while back and figured it would be changed by now. Leaving the old RUU on the Wiki is problematic and causes confusion for those not in the know.
My 2 cents..
couldn't agree more.
the wiki is a compilation of a communities contributions... You can update it!!!
I try to correct anything I find!
I'd update if I knew what I was talking about! I don't have the latest version of the RUU, and probably won't for some time. This installation went perfectly for me, I don't see the need to change any time soon! But if anyone else has the info, they should deffinately update the wiki
Thank you very much! It was very helpful. I've met this problem too And now it solved.
For anyone that needs it. First I flashed the Stock AT&T rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410159, under Available Shipped WM 6.1 roms. If you also flashed a differnet Radio you will need to revert that back to OEM also before proceeding. Following the directions on the Hard SPL Sticky, I downloaded all 3 cabs in the first post. I unzipped and extract all 3. I double clicked the icon in the Hard SPL cab folder and watched everything extract. I copied the RUU_Signed.nbh file from the Stock SPL folder into the Hrd SPL folder, replacing the original in there. I then executed the update and my Fuze Blacked out. It would not restart and I freaked. I pulled the battery, counted to 30 and re-installed it. Thankfully it booted back up. I started the whole process over using SSPL Manual process instructions on the Hard SPL Sticky and it also failed. I then tried the first method again, staring with my Fuze on the Bootloader screen (Volume Down and reset with Stylus until it comes up on the tricolor screen) and it worked perfectly. As my fuze shipped with SPL 1.95 I then had to re-flash the stock AT&T rom once more for that to upgrade from version 1.90 to 1.95. I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. Good Luck!
1.95 SPL
Jakedog you Da man OMG how did you figure that out????? Mine worked like a charm no hang ups at all and now I will be taking this Fuse back to AT&T like nothing happened. LOL......... Once again big props to you because nobody on this forum knows how to get the 1.95 SPL back, they do not even know it comes with the 1.95.... Thanks
If you guys read the Wiki you would find all this info there also.. no need to "figure" it out.
Take a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Nice, huh?
Hrd_spl 1.95
I did read the post and used the old zip file:StockSPL_ForWarrantyOnly_SPL190_1.zip but guess what the new Fuse has a 1.95 SPL, so what good does the 1.90 do me So the question is how to get to 1.95 when no one has extracted the stock 1.95 SPL from the Fuse? Now thats not in the Wiki????? Yes check the wiki the new Fuse has 1.95 SPL not old 1.90.
ilanoraa,
Didn't realize that regarding the SPL... maybe you can update the Wiki (anyone can) to include this.
Jakedog you rule!!!
Anyone please confirm I am thinking right?
Here’s what I did:
1.From T-mobile.cz I got the factory Czech T-Mobile Rom (*.exe)
2. I extracted the *.exe with WinRar and got a bunch of files.
3. I took out RUU_Signed and extracted it with NBHtool and got 4 *.NB files:
769.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
SPL.nb
Windows.nb
4. In the meanwhile I extracted my original reconstructed Dutch T-Mobile RUU_Signed.nbh (confirmed working) and took the Windows.nb
5. From the Czech *.nb files I deleted the windows.nb and replaced it with my Dutch windows.nb
6. With htcRIE 0.5.0.12 I put the three Czech NB’s:769.nb (suppose radio), PrimarySplash.nb and SPL.nb together with The Dutch windows.nb together in New RUU_signed.nbh.
7. I put the newly created RUU_Signed back into the folder with files from step 2.
8. Using Winrar I stuffed ala these files together in an *.sfx file that has an instruction saying that after extracting the sfx it should start RomUpdateUtility.
9. So far so good! I clicked the sfx and it would nicely extract and start the Czech RomUpdateUtility. The utility being Czech is no problem as I/we have been using it probably a sillion times and don’t read it.
10. Now I don’t have the guts to test it on my Dutch MDA Vario IV JJ but want to know wether this would work in case of RMA.
I remember that the Dutch factory ROM-upgrade for T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser) would restore everything: SPL, Splash etc) By doing the above I somehow think I have re-created sort of a Dutch “factory” ROM upgrade that will restore everything back to stock.
Suppose this works, will I be able to go back to Hard SPL a second time? (heard some rumors...)
I want you guys to know that I don’t have any education in ICT but consider myself smart enough to figure things like this out . However… I am not too sure about what I have created.
Thnx. For any kind of feedback.
Am willing to upload this for people who want to try.
Free Rapidshare (10 downloads) if needed I will put it in my FTP.
Was it not in The raphael original shipped ROM wiki?
Also if it would help, I think I still have the files backed up at home somewhere. If you want I could look for it.

It was but when reading the thread that goes with it I get serious doubts about that one working well
I have them backed up as well but I never dumped the splash, radio and more important the SPL. and everyone is talking about SPL's lately but no one can answer me wether one of the offered solutions is a working one.
So I was thinking to sort of creating a oneclick solution for whenever a RMA occures to me again
Was this a dumb question?

If you were able to download a factory ROM directly from your Carrier's website, then it would include everything you need to return your device to stock.
Then, all you would have to do is follow the instructions in the Hard-SPL thread to install the stock SPL (if you've flashed Hard-SPL), and then re-flash the factory ROM you downloaded to restore the original SPL.

There is no Dutch T-Mobile factoryrom.. that is the first thing I checked of course even before I had my first Vario IV at home.
And I still think somehow to remember that flashing the stock T-Mobile to my old Kaiser did flash the stock SPL as well... however I am starting to have doubts now..
Besides I haven't found anyone yet confirming that the Stock T-Mobile SPL from the Stock SPL thread actually works...
And the thingy I created should flash back stock radio and splash.. would you know of any safe way to test this Captain_Throwback??

I don't know of any "safe" way, no. I have no confidence that the Stock SPL from the stock SPL thread will work, either - that's why I had that thread closed. After you flash the stock SPL from the Hard-SPL thread, you risk bricking your phone if you try flashing a created ROM to it (even if it is created from parts of stock ROMs).
If you have a stock SPL on the phone, its possible that the extracted SPLs from that thread will actually work; but I'm already on my second phone, so I'm not willing to risk trying it.

That's my issue since tuesday I am dealing with my second raph as well the other one was only a couple of weeks old. The mobo burned and they were not able yet to recover anything. But I have set my goals on a working recoverymethod.
Too bad you had your thread closed as it was going somewhere good. and people not reading or trying unconfirmed things take their own risks as this is a development area.
Would you reconsider asking NATF to reopen it and change the topicname?

Well, I think any future conversation on the whole "flashing back to stock" can be carried on in JZ SmartMort's thread with the instructions on how to do that. He also explains in there why none of the SPLs that I extracted will ever overwrite Hard-SPL. Unless Olipro or cmonex enlighten us on how they were able to modify that 1.90 SPL to overwrite the Hard-SPL, that's the only one that'll ever work.
I did see you posted in that thread, but I think if you really NEED a different SPL than one that's in an existing stock ROM, that if you PM Olipro or cmonex, one of them may be able to help you.

It does but it's for MDA Compact IV, aka Touch Diamond... but still am going to look what's inside
edit: cewl it had the splash I wanted inside.
Had the guts to flash...
...and it works. Exept from SPL...
Next step will be flashing this after OLi en cmonex' only for warranty SPL 1.90..
Just wonder wether I will be able to flash back to Hard SPL after this....
Anuone has an idea??

If you're able to successfully flash your Franken-ROM w/stock SPL to your phone after flashing the 1.90 warranty SPL, your phone still works, and you can connect to a computer using Activesync or Mobile Device Center, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to re-flash Hard-SPL onto your device. The key words in that sentence are "if" and "successfully" . . .
