here is AP3 version (based on latest Dual) I made that will work properly if you upgraded to new SPL but want to go back to AP3 from the AP4 beta.
(only the kernel needed changes. the rest is the same.)
download:
http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
IMPORTANT NOTE: this will only work if you ran the AP4 package (prerelease, final (when it comes out) etc.) and your SPL now is version 3.xx.OliNex
if you are unsure about your SPL/bootloader version then check in bootloader/tricolour screen by pressing and holding the camera button (as far as it will go!!) while doing a soft reset - keep the camera pressed until the tricolour screen appears.
Not sure why people would want to go back to AP3 - but I'm sure someone will and this will help them.
Did you have a good time in London?
how safe is it? im thinking about going back to ap dual. I only really like the homescreen. I miss the high res mode in ie
well flashed it back and all went well had no problems

just 2 questions:
- which is latest SPL version?
- in case I haven't, where to download?
thanks.
Does this mean that if I wanted to go back to AP3 I will not get the extra 20MB space back, and I can not install any of the existing athena roms without risk?

my understanding is that the olinex3.xx spl stays with the same available memory .
I and other people tried installing other roms but was unsuccessful and that is why Cmonex had to alter the ap3 to install with SPL3.XX.
I gather it would be possible to alter the other roms to install , but I dont know how to do this

if you want an old rom, Cmonex correct me if im wrong, all you need to do is extract the nbh file and take the os.nb from ap3 or what ever rom you want and it should work. I am not a pro at cooking roms but thats how i got ap4 on my device and i still have spl 1.2
note: i had to mod the os.nb file so it would fit on the old partition jsuk
can we only have the exe that turns off the auto rotation for the screen?
this is my only problem with the prerelease, it is the best rom i ever had.
thanks boys great work.
thanks for the ap3 for the new spl mine is 3.20 olinex, but no thanks, pre ap4 is the best.

here is a easy way to to fix it from self rotating. go to file explorer then windows start menu programs, system, then copy the vue orientation go back to windows then copy the file into start up folder exit the explorer then soft reset

Will there be a way to install AP4 and still go bo back to factory ROMs if and when needed? e.g. for warranty purposes? I know we've had the usual reasons that they do not check the spl at all, etc, etc but is it possible for it to be an option? In vanilla, perhaps?
@ Irus maybe when AP4 is released you give us a tut on how you did it! (That might help make amends.............. )

dear, don't tell people to just go and flash the OS part of AP4 without the new SPL. unless they know how to delete files from the IMGFS to make the OS.nb as small as the original AP3.
your responsibility for making misleading posts where only a small note says what to do to avoid problems
oh and no, you need to do more than just extract the OS.nb, because the old kernel on new SPL will hard reset instead of soft reset.

correct, the partitioning stays the same. one day I will figure out how to do repartitioning at will but until then to get back to an old rom, you will need to change the NK.exe as I said. only the one from AP4 will work - I patched that one to work (x7510 nk.exe would boot and soft reset properly but would have problems with keyboard interrupt handling).
unless someone wants me to patch another nk.exe, but I don't think that it'd be a problem with warranty, they won't really be able to check the nk.exe version (i.e. can only be done manually).

no 20MB, for that you have to downgrade the SPL - there will be a package to do that after AP4 final comes out
by the way there is no risk, just the roms will not be able to do a soft reset (just hard), and other small problems such as RUU won't be able to put your device in bootloader (you can still do it manually of course). unless, of course, the RUU enterbootloader.exe is customized to run an SSPL such as in AP4 package - that's just to be more precise before someone chimes in that they've been able to flash back to AP4 from an unmodified AP3 with new SPL already flashed.

well the AP4 that was released was still beta, so if someone wants to go back to AP3, they can do it right now, no need to wait.
or if the device has a corrupt OS, they can reflash to AP3 with this, then flash whatever else they want. (though that works already with unmodified AP3 but it's a pain in the ass because of the reset loop thanks to the silly customizations)
oh, yeah, we did have a good time there, thanks for asking

thanks a lot friend.
hi i have read through the forums as much as i can i have a htc hermes that i want to reset back to original, i have done this before with older pda.a with no problem but when i run the program to flash it etc, it gets as far as the point its about to start flashing then reports its lost connection to the device does anyone have any suggestions whats going wrong please
.net framework needs to be latest, 3.5.
Change the RUU_Wrapper.exe with another off a newer cooked rom. Might be causing problems if you have Hard SPL installed.
Cheers...
When i upgraded to the Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 from DCD's 3.4.3(?) my mogul now when soft reset will actually hard reset and run's through the configuration of M2D and such over and over again.
This happens even if i let the phone finish the customizations, install the Sprint Carrier CAB then if i do a soft reset it comes up like it's been defaulted. It seems like it never fully finishes. and when it's reset thinks it needs to reconfigure. I've re-ran the 1.3.4 RUU again, but this time it came up to the normal today screen but if i click "Start" there are no options there. Please advise.
reflash and ask this question in the reloaded thread those guys really know their stuff

hi, i went to install hard spl v7 onto the phone (windows 7) and next next next.... installing... and im like AHH i have a herming.nbh on the SD card there STOP!!!! so i panicked and closed the hard spl v7 windows on the computer and then the phone said 'starting HERMING.nbh upgrade' and the bar went along and now its stuck and inline with the E and has been for like 10 mins.
HELP WHAT DO I DO
this is what it says on phone
HERMING.nbh -
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -
OS -
Update In Progress...
||||||||-----------------------|
EDIT:
it has been like 20 mins since this happened and the bar is now moving along i neerly had a heart attack there... now GSM is OK
EDIT 2:
UPDATE COMPLETE
UPDATE SUCCESS
EDIT 3:
soft reset.... sweet as....
someone delete this before i look like a jackass
too late.....
haha, it must have been changing radio firmware right?
Yep, that is the process that takes the longest and is the most dangerous. Was it a rom you put together yourself or a cooked rom from th wm06 section? Most (if not all) cooked roms have the radio rom removed.
Also be a good idea to install Hard SPL V7 too if you don't have it. CCID can be a ***** and is an unforgiving one at that.
Could be a miracle happened if Hard SPL V7 wasn't installed... - see, they can happen at christmas....
haha, yeah i have 2.10 installed (i believe is the latest)
the rom WAS an official one =) (dopod, found on here)
on another note, is it possible to strip the IPL+SPL and RADIO from roms (if a user-made rom had these for some reason) ?
What would be the benefits?
Would it effect the new OS?
thanks
Most, if not ALL cooked roms don't have the radio rom cooked in. Visit the WM06 section for the latest of those roms...
It is possible to do "surgery" on the rom but you need to download a program called ROM KOCH. Do a search for it, it has all the info in the thread on how to use.... (very old thread)
