Please find below the infomation of my softbank X01HT which I bought few days ago. The softbank has been unlocked by the shop and is running traditional Chinese on WM5.
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.09
ROM Ver 1.23.708.4
ROM Date 07/24/06
Radio 1.06.00.10
Comm Protocol 32.37.7010.01W
Please advise if it is safe to run HARDSPL for upgrading to WM6.
Will there be any adverse/damaging effect?
Do I need to downgrade the ROM version before running HARDSPL V7.
Please advise the procedure.
Thank you in advance

I believe you can just put it into bootloader mode and flash the WM6 Dopod ROM. A friend of mine did this recently.
i hv just done it. i did not encounter any major problem except after flashing it with the official ROM, the storage memory is very low ....

yes it is safe... but you need an activesync partner ship setup to installl HardSPL as it needs to push SSPL to your device... for more information read www.mrvanx.org

with updating/installing HardSPL the device needs to be in Windows with activesync connected so SSPL can be pushed to the device...
I trid to install HardSPL Version 7 (2.10.olipro).
I activesync connected and run RUUWraper.exe
I go through all the selection right and on the last page after I click "next" I press yes on my Softbank. but the flash download didn't started and the Softbank reset and go into the engineering mode where I still see :
IPL- SSPL Des
SPL-1.09.ds
All my versions are the same as Ken which are:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.09
ROM Ver 1.23.708.4
ROM Date 07/24/06
Radio 1.06.00.10
Comm Protocol 32.37.7010.01W
Could anyone advise any solution in proceed with HardSPL installation?
Thanks a lot

Hi everybody.
I'm about to upgrade my O2 XDA G4 from WM5 to WM6. I bought this neo on ebay and I don't know if it has already been HardSPled. Is there any chance to know - or - can the HardSPL procedure run again without creating problems?
Are the Radio, the IPL and SPL upgraded as well using one of the last WM6 rom or they should be upgraded manually? Do you recommend to upgrade also IPL/SPL/Radio?
Many thanks
The way to tell if it has been HardSPLed is to see the SPL number.
if it is 2.G3.4PDA or 2.G4.4PDA it has been hard SPLed if not, you will need to do it.
Generally, radio ROMs and IPL/SPL are best left alone (other than SPL for HardSPL).
Thanks for your quick quick reply. I have the following numbers:
IPL 2.15.001
SPL 2.15.001
GSM 02.30.21
OS 2.13.9.21 ITA
So I think I have a "2.G4.4PDA". BTW, while I can understand what 2.G4 means, I have no clue about 4PDA... Can you help?
Thanks again
D.
The numbers themselves (2.G4.4PDA) are meaningless... I think it is 2 (the SPL version) G4 (the device version) 4PDA (sounds like "for PDA").
You will need to HardSPL first, using G4 HardSPL as your device is a G4, then you can flash a ROM.
Done.
Thanks for your support. Now I have the following:
IPL 2.15.001
SPL 2.G4.4PDA
GSM 02.30.21
OS 2.13.9.21 ITA
Now you can flash a ROM.
Hi there, my first posting after reading here for a few days...
I got an T-Mobile Ameo which identifies its IPL and SPL like this (in Bootloader Mode)
ATHE100
IPL-1.00
ATHE100
SPL-1.06.0000
I am a little bit confused since I could not find any other person/posting which reported this SPL version of 1.06.
What do you think about this? Is it just normal or do I have to do some precaution measures before CID-unlocking, SIM-unlocking and flashing?
Greetings, forcemaker
Upgraded to T-Mobile WM6
... with the "original" Upgrade Tool, all fine for me; I also figured out that my PrePaid-Provider "Congstar" is D1=T-Mobile net, so I do not even have to SIM-unlock.
All's fine
So this low SPL version which I couldn't find in combination with "ATHENA" so I was guessing if this was a "too old" version.
CU, forcemaker
Hi
I also have this SPL with small differance SPL 1.07
Have you SUCCESSFULY unlock with OLIPRO unlocker
and this ""original" Upgrade Tool," from where is this
Best regards
just used the T-Mobile WM 6 ROM
Hi GSmart,
I did not unlock the device nor SIM unlocked, so I cannot tell whether it will do the job for you.
I used the ROM from T-Mobile Germany (Deutschland, short TMD). As I did not need any modification - I just wanted it to work stresslessly - I just flashed the ROM with the Update tool that was supplied with the download. As far as I got it, it is the original upgrade tool supplied for providers and customers(?).
You can find the original ROMs in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334512
I myself used "German - T-Mobile Ameo" which is:
http://rapidshare.com/files/73352583/Athena_WM6_TMD_2.35.111.3_By_Agent_Bignose.zip
So, if any modified ROM which needs unlocking, will install fine? Don't know. Maybe you could upgrade with an official ROM and automatically with the supplied SPL version and then do your personal upgrade.
But ask here in the forum, I cannot answer this.
Good luck!
1000 times thank you for your attention
Hey guys, i have just got for a few days an O2 XDA Mini S and its great i have put a wm 6.5 rom on it everything perfect but my ipl and spl are 2.21.0001 and i want to know if it is an upgrade for them and where do i find i have search the entire forum for those and i heard thing like the latest is 3.2 or 3.8 and even if my ipl and spl are 2.21 i found a radio upgrade for g4 to 3.2 and my radio now is 3.2 and works great... and i want to ask help of you all to help me and all users of g4 for them to find fast a list of ipl/spl upgrades and radio upgrades. Thank you.
Hi,
I won an auction for a T-Mobile Ameo and started to do my homework, while the phone doesn't arrive.
I already own a BlueAngel and two Universal, so it should not be that new to me. However, I do have a few questions:
SPL: as I understand it, this is like a second stage boot loader. There is the V1.2 by Oli, which is like patched to allow any firmware to be installed, as oposed to the original one, which only allows to flash signed firmware matching the country ID. Is this more or less correct?
SPL 3.5: there is a new second stage boot loader, which is required for WM6.1 like the AP4.0. Correct?
Downgrade back to SPL 1.2: this is now possible again?
Last question: there seems to be official 6.1 firmware versions from T-Mobile.
Can I just upgrade the WM5 untouched Ameo to the official WM6.1?
What if I have the german WM5 and want to use T-Mobile's WWE 6.1 instead of the german one?
Is there any stupid combination of firmware and SPL that will lead to a brick or a dead end?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
vma
I am newbie with X7500

SPL 3.5 is for ROMs adapted from X7510 (but not for X7510)

You must make superCID in your X7500 (>>>SPL1.2)

I think ROM for SPL3.5 in SPL1.x and for SPL1.x in SPL 3.5
Thanks for the resonse.
So here is the sum up for all Newbies like myself:
****************************************************
The Hitchiker's Guide to understanding SPL on Athena
****************************************************
1) SPL = second stage bootloader
2) Athena 7500 is originally shipped with SPL 1.2
3) Athena 7510 is originally shipped with SPL 3.5
4) for different firmware to be loaded, one need a hacked SPL, that allows flashing unsigned firmware
5) There is a modified SPL 3.5 for the Athena 7500 that allows WM6.x firmware, ported from the Athena 7510 to run on the 7500
6) SPL 1.2 and 3.5 are incompatible, regarding firmware, due to the different amount of memory reserved for the ROM. A SPL 1.2 firmware won't run on SPL 3.5 and the other way around, neither. Trying to do so, will make the black screen or reset loop happen.
7) to get SPL 1.2 Olipro (the hacked one), you need to do the UNLOCKER procedure (search sticky)
8) to get SPL 3.5 Olipro, you need to install AP 4.0 (it's a WM6.1 firmware, that installs the SPL 3.5 Olipro as well)
9) to be able to install SPL 1.2 compatible firmware again, you need to follow the DOWNGRADER procedure (search sticky)
10) if you want to have, for warranty issues, the original SPL 1.2 back, you need to install an official dump. I am not 100% sure about this one...
****************************************************
I hope my statements are correct. If not, please let me know, so this post can act as a beginners first read. Currently I have to confess, that it is quite confusing to understand these 10 points... And I am already familiar with modding the BA, Universal, HP 514, VDA GPS, etc.
Thanks,
vma
PS: Yes, I ask silly questions, but still I try to bring something back...

No, X7500 original is SPL 1.1
Is there a way to go back from i.e. SPL 1.2olipro to official SPL?
Thanks,
