do i always have to use hardSPL prior to changing rom? or just once then i will just flash any rom using the ruu?
As soon as you didn't reflash another SPL to the ROM, the HardSPL is still there.

I have official BL 1.04 and an very old (1.03.03.10) radio rom. I want to update my radio and to xda live. Is the following procedure correct:
1. flash olipro 1.04 SPL to prevent bricked device
2. flash Extracted Radio Roms using Des SSPL (1.34.00.10 from wiki page)
3. flash xdalive
But I read that flashing the radio using Des SSPL overwrites the olipro 1.04 BL. IS this true? If so, how do I prevent that flashing the Extracted Radio Roms overwrites the olipro 1.04 BL (in step 2 above)?
Thanks
don't worry about it. You can just flash the olipro BL back afterwards.

no, flashing the radio will only overwrite the bootloader if there is a bootloader contained within the NBH file itself.
.VIBE: I thought it is basically not possible to downgrade back to BL 1.04 from BL 1.08?! And I think I would flash BL 1.08 on my device with the 1.34.00.10 SSPL rom from the wiki at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms, no?
olipro: I assumed that the extracted radio roms for SSPL in the wiki (see link above) do have a bootloader in the NBH file. At least that's how understood the sentence "These files are bundled as an NBH with the modified Hermes installer (using SSPL by Des)". So this is not true?
The one that I did (1.35.00.11) doesn't have a bootloader in the nbh. Only the radio rom itself. It will leave whatever bootloader you have intact. Olipro's RUU factory sends Des' SSPL to the device first then runs it. That's why an activesync connection is required.
so i can flash SSPL radio rom 1.35 and xda live and keep my original 1.04 BL? then I dont see a benefit of using hard-ssl for me...

The benefit of Hard spl bootloader will become apparent if something goes wrong during the flash process.
Also, don't confuse SPL bootloaders with Radio bootloaders.
but even if something goes wrong during flash process and i cant get into wm: since i have BL 1.04 and o2 cid, i can flash a shipped o2 rom with my cid without SSPL, no?
correct. loading this "hard SPL" bootloader just makes it even safer all kudos to Olipro, he da man!
I have flashed the LVSW HARD-SPL-1.30 VERSION. And I understand the benefit of Hard-spl. So I wonder if I switch to another rom, e.g. a SA shipped WM5 rom, will the spl be changed?
no, just make sure that the flash isn't done with SSPL and that Hard-SPL is running.
I've done some experimentation with custom ROMs but now I would like to return to my original ROM.
I have a CID-locked G4 and this file RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe which I thought would return my Wizard back to its original state. However when I try to do the update it aborts with an error, which I think is due to the fact that the ID of the current ROM (or something else) is not the one expected...
I noticed that some custom ROMs have a special noID RUU. Can I simple use this with the official nk.nbf?
I also noticed that the official nk.nbf contains IPL/SPL. Will this brick my device?
Thanks!
What SPL Version have you?
If you have a SPL 3.08 you cant Flash you Provider Rom, if a IPL/SPL is included in the Rom File!
My IPL/SPL is 2.18.0001.
If it's ok to flash this ROM, can I do it with the noID RUU?
Hi,
If I load HardSPL onto my Touch Dual, and I want to load a ROM - will I need to go through the SPL (soft/hard) process each time I want to try a ROM or if I load HardSPL once, that's all done and and I never need to do it again?
Thanks
yes,, HardSPL mean you never need to install another SPL again to keep flashing ROMs
Thanks for your help!
I currently have a MIUI android ROM installed but want to go back to WinMo 6.5 (stock). Now when i try to flash the ROM like i did before, its says on my PC USB Init failed, connection problem. The bootloader screen does say usb. Also when I try to flash trough the MAGLDR flash modus there is USB standing but i cant flash. I've also tried flashing the stock ROM from my SD card as an NBH file but it wont work.. Also repartitioning and all the stuff dont work because they all have te connection problem. I have tried multiple USB cables. Anyone know a solution??
you say that the SD flash doesn't work, can you elaborate a bit more?
explain everything you did, what ROM did you try, if you can give me the whole step by step you tried to SD card flash, including and file name changes etc
SD flash is usually the last resort and if you tried it with a genuine original Stock ROM it should work, albeit it will change the RADIO, SPL and ROM at the same time...
Hello,
I intend to downgrade my hd2 Europe version, from Android with Magldr, to stock Rom,
because of some bootloops i encounter after trying install wp7, so i want to start from scratch and try flashing wp7 or Android again!
I have HSPL 2.08 and i want to flash a Greek Stock Rom
(RUU_Leo_S_HTC_ELL_3.14.482.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship)
OR
(HTC HD2-RUU_Leo_HTC_ELL_1.66.482.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship_2).
My radio is 2.15.50.14.
So far i have made some research and i understand that:
1st. i must flash a stock Rom from SD.
2nd. The hspl will be replaced with stock SPL. Do i need to flash HSPL 3.03, as 3.14 ROMs on HTC HD2 Eu require SPL 3.03.0000 or HSPL 3.03, before flashing stock Rom from SD? What about 1.66 Rom?
The stock SPL version depends from the Rom which i would choose, or will be the same?
after that I just need to run HSPL4, install HSPL2.08 and continue with Magldr as i have done in the past?
Is there something I should be extremely careful so as not I have a fatal problem?
Thanks in advance everyone who will help a confused man!!!

just follow the guide on the relevant ROM that your interested in
but if your playing with WP then use HSPL 2.08
if your flashing a stock ROM via SD as you pointed out it will replace the SLP with the one that comes with that ROM, so it doesn't matter what you do, then you can use HSPL4 to install the required version for the ROM that you want to use. You can use HSPL 4 to revert back to a stock SPL as well, but if you have any doubt at all then just re flash a original stock ROM, you cant go wrong at all then
Well, if i try to flash anything from my pc it says connection error. When I use flasher modus the HD2 freezes and i need to pull out the battery. I also tried flashing the stock ROM from my SD card but that also doesnt work. I use MAGLDR 1.13 and HSPL 2.08 i think. The current ROM is MyMIUI V11.
i managed to install the stock rom but now i cannot install magldr. When i start the installation the hd2 shows bootloader, then goes into the installation screen but after 1 second it flashes back to bootloader.. any help?
are you putting the phone in to the tri coloured bootloader with the word "serial" at the bottom? plug in to a USB port and the word changes to "USB" then install MAGLDR?
just so im clear what you have tried
