please help me!
A quick google search on the board returns THESE RESULTS. Or you could look at the spl downgrade guide HERE.
I'm having trouble downgrading too.
Following mrvanx's guide, I downgraded to Hard SPL 1.10 with no problem. But when I try to downgrade to either 1.04 or 1.06, I lose the ActiveSync connection, the phone never enters bootloader, and I get an error message from the RUU saying that the connection was lost.
After several hours trying everything I can think of, I'm officially stuck.
Any thoughts?
I had same problem yesterday. In CustomRUU you need to set Unsafe SPL it is the only solution for downgrading SPL. ATT: SPL 1.04.nbh

Thanks! That did the trick!
I am here to help,

I downloaed the Custom RRU file, but what is the next step?
(I copied the .nbh file as "RUU_signed.nbh" and the .exe file to the PDA, and I run it, but with the colored sreeen it freeze.)
Now can I run the ROM update?

I've read and reread various posts about this. I just want to make sure I have the steps down before I go forward.
What I have now:
Cingular 8525
Rom: 1.34.502.1
Radio version : 1.16
SPL: 1.06
What I would like achieve:
Rom: 2.06.502.3
Radion version: 1.27
SPL: 1.04
Ext Rom: 2.06.502.3
1) Downgrade to SPL 1.04 by flashing the 8525 with file RUU_HER_Cingular_1.30.502.1_1.11.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe. This is because it matches my CID CWS__001 and it has SPL 1.04. I guess I simply run it without any other preparations. Is this correct?
2) Super CID and simunlock using HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a.zip
3) I choose the ROM RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe
4) Use NBExtract to decompress the above ROM to get files OS.nbf and Extrom.nbf file
5) Flash SPL 1.01MFG using mtty.exe. Is this necessary? Can't I flash OS.nbf with SPL1.04?
6) Flash OS.nbf file extracted using mtty.exe
7) Flash extrom.nbf file extracted using mtty.exe
8) Flash radio from file RUU_Hermes_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe by simply running it. Is this correct?
Am I missing something in the process?
Lastly, Is this the best COMBINATION of ROM, radio, and ext ROM? And how does RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2[1].06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship compared to 2.05?
Thanks for any input.

I guess there isnt really any need to do that, if you flash SPL 1.01MFG to it then theres no need to do this step.

This part is beyond what i did, my process was that i upgraded to radio ROM 1.27.00.00 using the signed .exe because i originally had SPL 1.09.

You seem to have it figured out, but dont go on what i say here, wait for it to be verified by more than just me
My process (having already got superCID and unlocked a while ago) was to upgrade to radio 1.27.00.00 before anything else, then to flash SPL 1.01MFG using mtty, then flash the OS.nb file from the ROM i chose, then to flash ExtROM.nb (again from the ROM i chose). By using radio 1.27 you will have radio loader 107 which is recommended still.
Once some other people have looked over what you posted then you should go ahead (if they all give the "all clear" )
You combination of rom and radio is a good idea (the ROM and ExtROM is entirely up to you but the radio is the highest that doesnt have loader 108?)
It's even easier than that;
get my Custom RUU kit and you can skip the reflash;
take the 3.3AKU and extract the RUU_Signed.
extract the RUU signed with NBHExtract or my GUI tool (make sure it's all in the same directory) then you can create a NEW RUU with SPL 1.04, whatever radio you like (if you want a new one) and the 3.3 OS AKU.
remember: if you do it this way, you can have whatever components you want; ExtROM, OS, mix and match anything.
however... if you don't think you can manage doing this, tell me what you want and I'll happily assemble it for you
1. SuperCid and Unlock with POF VERSION 3
Website:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Install Instructions:
Easy auto-install Instructions:
Unzip unlocker and run AUTO_Unlock_v3.bat
If you don't want to install automatically, or for some reason the process doesn't work for you, here are the manual instructions:
Transfer SSPL/SSPL-HERM.exe to your phone and run it
Tri-color screen will appear
Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
Run RUU/ROMUpgradeUt.exe
Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)
Allow your phone to reboot.
Transfer HERM_Unlock_v3.exe program to your phone and run it
Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.
Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.
When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.
2. Then Run this cooked ROM (Cooked w/Olipro software)
http://uploadingit.com/files/8194/RUU_CINGULAR_2.06.502.3_1.27.00.00_SPL1.04.zip
Rom: 2.06.502.3
Radion version: 1.27
SPL: 1.04
Ext Rom: 2.06.502.3
I think radio 1.33 or 1.34 is better then 1.27. I do not see a difference between 1.33 or 1.34 though.
You pretty much had the process but this will be easier for you.
just to point out; SuperCID and Unlock (unless using a different SIM) is unnecessary and *could* potentially invalidate your warranty.
SuperCID is pretty much redundant nowadays with the new SSPL; the only real advantage to having your device SuperCID is if there isn't a ROM for your CID with old version stuff to revert to.
Thank you for all the replies! I appreciate it.
@mrvanx and wpbear
The reason stated using unlocker v2a was because, from what I understand, if I use v3 it would put a patched 1.08 Radio BL (which I thought we want to avoid). Which means that I won't be able to "downgrade" to a lower version radio. Am I wrong?
@mrvanx
You said that I didn't need to downgrade to 1.04 BL because I could use 1.01MFG. I thought that I couldn't do that with 1.06 or higher. I had to downgrade to 1.04 first.
@wpbear
I assume in order to use your custom cooked ROM, I have to SuperCID right?
@Olipro
Thanks for the offer of cooking up a ROM. I think wpbear's ROM has everything I wanted. But again, if I wanted to use your ROM, I would have to SuperCID? Also, where can I get your GUI?
But what is the best combination right now of OS, Ext, and radio?
Thanks again!
anubus12 said:

Nevermind, I found your GUI. Thanks!
The only advantage of real SuperCID is being able to write to extrom once you've unlocked it.
You did a real nice v1.0 upgrade set of instructions btw They were perfect. In fact that's exactly what I did to upgrade my 8525.
However, the recent explosion of NBHtools that take advantage of Des' SSPL technique (nicely done Olipro btw )have opened up much better ways to accomplish this now.

no, you do *not* have to SuperCID at all with my RUU since it uses SSPL.
if you use the custom RUU (and you can tell, it has the XDA Dev logo on) then your device does not need to be SuperCID

You SHOULD be ok, i downgraded to SPL 1.01MFG from version 1.09 by just flashing it using mtty.exe. I followed the instructions on the How to Flash AKU3.3 Update thread (the first post) to get my new ROM onto my device. I used the HTC AKU3.3 Test ROM and it worked just great.

I do not think Pof unlocker put BL 108 on your device, but it doesnt matter anymore since SSPL bypass this and you can now still do radio only changes.

No, the bootloader bypasses this now, but as someone else pointed out, if you want to change your Ext_ROM with the hack in the Wiki later, you will need to SuperCID still.

Are you SuperCID with POf unlocker?
SuperCID/unlock yes. POF no.
Wiki and numberous posts indicate if the unit is SuperCID, it is SuperCID period however there is a v2 v2a and v3.
Is there more to SuperCID than just SuperCID?
Sometimes it sticks and sometimes it does not?
Can v3 be run over top of an existing SuperCID/unlocked unit without risk?
True you are either SuperCID or not, but we have seen people loose SuperCID for no apparent reason. Use mtty and check if you are still SuperCID.
Still superCID, still 1.06.

I have upgraded my 838pro to IPL - 1.04, SPL- 2.10 Olipro , Radio 1.43.00.00, OS is Black Majik .
Is it possible to upgrade from officially released wm06 rom from dopod (when its released), will it work, or give me problems.
I am newbie to upgrades. so i dont know technical things like hardspl etc.
Thanks
Pramod Naidu
Yes it is possible, but your SPL will be overwriten..
If you want to keep HardSPL, you need to extract the official SPL from the official ROM so it doesn`t get flashed onto your device

INCORRECT sir.
HardSPL will not allow a retail SPL to flash over it.
The RUU which HTC will no doubt supply it with will probably not detect your device correctly (since you are using a superior SPL hehe).
Copy ther nbh file contained in the update to a folder and use RUUWrapper.exe which will flash it no problem (use autodetect).
One more foolish question
Is my device super CID bec of hardspl, if not, if i make my device super cid, will it give me added benefits.

The only benefit of SuperCID is you can read/write to the ext_rom in windows mobile.....so not really a great benefit.
HardSPL reports itself as SuperCID.....but your device is NOT. Essentially your device is virtually SuperCID.
Thanks
Thanks a lot sir.

When I have gone back from a WM6 ROM to the Official (WM5) AT&T ROM I flashed the older (1.04 I wanna say?) version of HardSPL and it works fine and gets overwritten to the 1.11. Then if I go back to WM6 I just reflash HardSPL v7 and it works fine. I'm not sure if that actually does make it official, but I know based on the startup and bootloader screens, after going to the old HardSPL then using the AT&T Updater, everything says 1.11 and looks the same as it did before I started putting cooked ROMs on my phone.
What if its exe file
how do i extract the nbh from exe file.
How to extract nbh from exe

Hi mrvanx,
Just a quick question regarding your answer to Shamanix...
You said here that all he needs to do is copy the their nbh file in the update and use the RUUWrapper to flash it... Surely he needs to extract only the rom, ext rom, and radio? Then recompile to a nbh file to flash?
The original nbh file is still going to contain the spl & ipl which will cause problems not so?
Sorry if i am butting in here
Regards.

The flash will go ahead as normal but the SPL and IPL will NOT be written over.
Either that or just use the repackaged version of the official WM6 dopod ROM ive posted in the WM6 section.

Yes. It is possible and easy.
Get a copy of the SPL 1.11 and use it instead of the 1.06 or 1.04 mentioned in MrVanx's guides.
Now, assuming that the reason you wrote this is that you do not HAVE a copy of it, then I will tell you how to get it.
Download a full ROM from the wiki LOOK HERE that has many shipped ROMs (including some with SPL1.11 LIKE THIS ONE )
Use WinRAR (or equivalent) to unrar the EXE file of the ROM you just downloaded
You will get an .NBH file and an RUU file.
Use dutty's good nbh tool to decompile the .NBH file.
You will get many .NB files, including one called SPL.NB
Use dutty's good nbh tool to build an .NBH file from the SPL.NB file.
Now you have an SPL1.11 .NBH file that can be used in place of the 1.06 and 1.04 files referenced by MrVanx.
Maybe a request is in order
This seems to be a recurring post. Apparently many folks would like to go back to an older SPL version (likely for warranty reasons). How about somebody build an AT&T or better yet Cingular SPL that came shipped with the 8525s branded by Cingular. Mine ran WM5, but I haven't had any luck finding that ROM online. I suppose the warranty would be covered with WM6, but I would no doubt need the orignal SPL if I want anything covered. So I guess, all we would need is a Wrapper bundled with the .SP file that would restore the orignal SPL. We could load an original AT&T / Cingular ROM, followed by installing the SPL.
That might cut back on some of these posts asking how to...
Well, probably not, but it would be a nice sticky.
Thanks for help.
I've downloaded all the stuff. But the ROM is RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe
It's exe file and i dont know how to get Ruu...nbh file.Could You help me?
Another option, assuming you have 2.10 olipro spl now- use mrvanx guide to downgrade to 1.10 oli, then reflash factory rom from htc america site, this will also flash the bootloader to the most current, spl 1.11 worked for me....

Use WinRAR (or equivalent) to unrar the EXE file of the ROM you just downloaded
You will get an .NBH file and an RUU file.

Hello,
Because I have to downgrader in 1.06 in my SPV M3100 but I cannot since 2.60.
I would like to pass in 2.10 to follow the indications found here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
Thanks for your help.
Try this:
Download 2.10
Run RUUWrapper.exe
When it says flash 2.10 click next
Now look in the folder that you ran RUUWrapper from and you will find EnterBootloader.exe and Rapitool.exe
Copy both these files somewhere safe and then cancel the rom upgrade.
Next copy both files to your device and run EnterBootloader on your device.
You should now see your device reboot and you will be in bootloader 2.10
Thank you it is OK ;-)
Now, what is the rom radio of origin Orange?
I have to reset everything to send to repair with the guarantee
Still thanks and sorry if my english is not good

Thanks markafreeman for your guide. I've tried this, but when flashing 2.10, there's no Rapitool.exe in the folder. I found only EnterBootloader.exe. So where can I find this or am I doing something wrong? And if I find this which directly in device's folder should I copy to (Windows folder?)?
Many thanks ahead for your reply.
