I allreyd flashed a lot and did use a soft spl, but I do not find a proper
explanation what it is.
So, i Think it is the Bootloader ?
Can anyone tell me what a soft and a hard SPL is and does ?
For what do I need it ?
I just got my new Touch Pro bought in UK and now it is here in Germany and I want a german ROM on it as soon as it is available.
Please don´t write your standard answers like WIKI and Search - a forum is here for communication and I did not find the proper answers - only too long threats

Yep your right on that assumption sir The bootloader does alot of the low level handling of the startup process when you power on the device aswell as handling the process when you flash anything to the device...im sure its far more technical than that but thats a starter explanation Essentially you NEED a bootloader for the device to work at all, the case with many of the HTC devices...other devices are different most likely.
Soft SPL: (normally referred to as SSPL) IS loaded into RAM and allows you to perform some of the operations the standard bootloader would do, naturally with some extra functionality (explained later)
HardSPL: Same sort of thing except it is flashed to the device permenantly, so it replaces the HTC bootloader in your devices flash memory.
Both of these tend to safeguard against corrupting the device by having some fancy workarounds and updates to the processes built into the HTC SPL, and the best part is that they allow you to flash ANY ROM you wish therefor allowing us to use Cooked ROMs and various updates like radio updates and etc...frees the device up quite superbly.

Perhaps some mebers feel like adding a general HardSPL page to the wiki for FAQs like this to be answered better than "Search the forum.." since we know its not that good for finding anything.
The Wiki is there for everyone to use and edit so, learn and pass it on
Just a quick question, does any of this interfere with HTC released updated ROMs? Like, when they release a new version on their site, does having HardSPL prevent you from updating?
Hello !
Thank you for your advise.
One more question:
Should I install Hard or Soft SPL ?
I want to try out many ROMS - I think Hard is better, what do you mean ?
Thank you for your help
By the way:
I am a kind of technican - working in IT for nearly 18 years starting fron Novell, Banyan Vines and DOS up to Windows Vista. Also I am a kind of apple Guru, thats why I have certainly an iPhone 2G and 3G.
For business I use HTC devices sind the first MDA. But I lost track a little sind iPhone.
As I am a technic nerc I sstarted with th the Diamond touch again and I liked the device but i swapped this week to the touch pro because of the keyboard, SD Slot an flash light. I love this device.
By the way I also have the new Samsung Omnia 900 here and an unfun Nokia E71 ( I hate this old symbian - looks like last centuty )
So good night and thank you

no, raphael hardspl is unsigned, means any rom is allowed, including HTC official roms.

you can only install hardspl. the job of soft spl is to install hardspl.
do not ever try any of the following:
- with SSPL, do not flash anything other than the included SPL NBH files. as extra protection the diamond and raphael SSPL's require htchacker sign (except the version jocky edited) and will reject anything that's not an SPL.
- and do not ever try to flash SSPL as an NBH, especially if it is a diamond or raphael.
Im sorry to disagree with your "don't tell me to use the Wiki".
But this is a fairly comprehensive answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? straight out the wiki.

When flashing a new ROM, do u lose all ur settings? Like installed programs, and other customizations?
Do you lose these by installing Hard-SPL?

There are several things.
UC is short for User Customisation; it is in all the Kaiser ROM's nowadays. l3v5y's Raph ROMs also have it.
Links: l3v5y's ROMs & Main UC Thread.
I use UC to install programs, Provisioning XML (as part of UC) to change registry settings, my xcopyce application to copy folders and active sync to copy contacts, calender etc.

Dave
Ok, thanks. Seems very complicated. Having to write XML files and such.
when running RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe, it says all information will be lost on my device. Are you sure i dont lose everything when installing Hard-SPL?

I can't say. I haven't done it, what says you will lose all the info, the RUU or the thread? If it's the RUU, then you should be OK, it's probably the standard message that the proper RUU (used for carrier ROM upgrades) has.
UC is good, takes maybe an hour or two to get setup, but once done, you don't have to do it again and it makes flashing so much fun. I started with just installing CAB's and Copying files, then went onto ProvXML for my registry settings next. The latest version of Schap's Advanced Config (3.0) can export tweaks into a Prov XML file for you. It is worth it if you flash your ROM as often as I do.
Dave
I do love this kind of stuff. Any new gadget i get, i like to do this kinda stuff with it. But its a little overwhelming in this case .
So, using UC, i can set it up so that my settings, such as email accounts, wifi networks + passes, notify settings, etc, as well as all the programs are restored after a ROM flash?
To do this i have to manually go through my registry to find the entries for each of these settings though? No way to just extract my current unflashed devices settings to a file that the new ROMs then use? That would be nice

We are getting a little off topic of the OP now but...
Any tweaks done with schaps Advanced Config can be easiler exported using a "export" menu option.
If you export your registry after flashing, and again after you have all your settings setup right, you can Diff then using a Diff Program and copy the changes into your ProvXML file. Most PPC Regedit programs can export.
Any more on UC, I'd have a read of the UC thread and ask any questions in there. Myself and l3v5y keep and eye on it most of the time and should be able to help fairly quickly.

Hello
So my Threat became quite interesting.
One last question foe me.
What File should I download to HARD SPL my Touch Pro.
Is there a file which includes all ? I mean I do not have to modify files inside the cabinet or so ?
Is there a fast link ?
Thank you for all the help - now lets start using the Touch - weekend is near

Is it possible to use those backup softwares? Like Spb Backup for example that say "ROM Upgrade Mode — now it's possible to restore data after the ROM upgrade"? Instead of UC and such?
there is a IPL initial program loader (sort of bios)
a SPL secondary program loader (kinda like the ntloader)
and there is a service mode (3 color screen) (the flashprog)
then we have a RUU remote unit upgrader
mft masterfile table
mbr master boot record
and some other shizzle
the device switches the output of the internal usb when device is in 3 colorscreen to a service mode which allows it to overwrite the internal flashdrive .. pretty neat as what it actually does is switching to an internal flashprogrammer which programs the internal flashdrive. this is the same process as is used for your pc at home to update the bios.
the CID celloperator identification code (used for blocking certain rom upgrades)

Soft SPL quesiton
I have a SPV M700 and it's unlocked. I want to install Schaps rom. I have the folowing SPL version 1.07.000. I have't managed to install hard spl. Can I use soft spl to flash it? Can I permanently brake it?

any ideas guys?
Yeah it doesnt work....Your now stuck with the Wizard Love Rom or you can upgrade to another rom but you cant go back to the original Cingular Rom.

All you have to do is download and install the Ext Rom cabs manually. This may still be available on the ftp. If not PM me.
It worked for me
Thanks a lot ercave1, the ROM flashed flawlessly, however the EXT ROM didn´t came up by itself. The features I´m missing are as follows:
1.- USB switch to select activesync mode to serial or RNDIS is missing, regardless this USB sync to PC (Activesync 4.5) is alive and working well.
2.- ClearVue pdf is missing, not a big loss and I really don´t care since there´s another alternatives to read and diisplay pdf documents.
3.- GetGood and in general all connection settings! I don´t give a s**t!!
4.- MIDlet Manager, big loss... I´m going to keep trying to download Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_ Manager_V11 whenever the ftp be up and running again. So no worries.
5.- Voice Speed Dialing Settings icon in both the Program ans Setting screens are missing, however the software is running when I press the known VSD button.
6.- Cingular carrierlogo! I don´t care I have my own logo.
And I guess that´s it !
Regardless the comments above, I´d like to learn how to "extract" the correspondent EXT ROM cab files, if you guys have and advice on it would be great.
Thanks again ercave1 for the big help

Yes, this is because the Ext Rom was wiped out by the G3 Rom having been flashed on your G4 devices. I don't remember reading about a fix for this, but you may want to search through the forum. The only solution I'm aware of is to install the Ext Rom manually.
I'm glad you guys got the device running again.

Already many know that mun built Shell Of tool, which was capable of pouring axis into Wizard G4 with [lochennym] [Sidom], but to the enormous regret it does not know how to pour with [ekstrom].
Recently it decided to be played a little with the program of nb2nbf and to verify, is it possible by nevertheless any means to renew also Extended Of rom to CID-Locked apparatuses. And which there was my happiness, when I revealed after [pereproshivki] that he renewed.
It decided by the same method to try to flood Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo - everything proved to be very simply.
In view of the small quantity of information on the forum on [devaysu] Of wizard G4, it decided to build brief instruction on its [pereproshivke].
1. We stitch through apparatus by pure piercing - Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.
http://rapidshare.com/files/8651097/Wizard...E_Novii_CF2.rar
2. By the program of typho5 we unpack nbf the file of piercing, which we desire to pour into the beast.
First we fill up into the folder with the program of nbf, and then start with the parameter of typho5.exe - x nk.nbf. After procedure we obtain several files, in number of which is contained OS itself, Extended Of rom, and also as a rule Splash Of screen and HTC Of logo.
([ZY]. For convenience in the use of program made [batnik]. Simply you will place nbf into the folder and will neglect typho.bat)
3. Now we gather our nbf file, each at will can include any desired components in it, naturally, except axis itself.
4. We go in very [progu] of nb2nbf and we make the following tuning:
- We establish Model ID: WIZARD
Language: it is empty
OEM: it is empty
Operator of version: it is empty
CID: it is empty ([ochen]_[vazhno]); remove the numbers, which are contained inside the field
- We establish [galochku] opposite “File of # 1”, we click on the button of survey (button with three points), we find the file Of extended Of rom' and (in the folder of typho5, the exemplary name of 9b000000-Extension.nb)
- In the field “Of start Of address” we enter 9b00000
- In the field “Of image Of name” we enter Extension Of rom (not Extended Of rom, you be attentive!!!)
- In the point “Of file of # 2” we find Splash Of screen, in the field of address we enter 92000000, in the field “of image of name” we write Splash Of screen.
- In the point “Of file of # 3” we find HTC Of logo, in the field of address we write 9d000000, in the field “of image of name” we write WITH HTC Of logo.
- We press button “Translate”
- Extended ROM is ready, it is possible to stitch through.
Unnecessary for you files it is possible simply not to include, but to insert, for example, only one by [ekstrom].
5. We place the obtained file of nbf into the folder [proshivalshchikom] and start. Procedure as with the usual piercing, lasts in all the pair of minutes.
6. We pour the axis Of shell Of tool' ohm from mun' of a.
Finale - valuable piercing

I enumerated the options since each have its own reason
1- Use Winrar to open RUU.exe and use typhoonnbfdecode.pl to extract the 10MB file (0xA00000 bytes) of the extended rom from nk.nbf
2- oops, same as 1 (and its nk.nbf- not nk.nba). hehe, my mistake
3- use pdocread.exe to read BDTL1 - or TRUEFFS_DOC1 (use my Wizard Service Tool as it can be done with a few clicks )
4- Unhide extended_rom and use Active Sync to copy the files to PC (or, once again use my tool to do the same )

Thanks a lot mestrini, I appreciate your input and I´ll give it a try right away!
SoftBank's known 3G/HSDPA flat-rate packet data connection setting that has hacked from old X01HT ExtROM (user name: "open", password started from "oz...") will be unusable on end of March.
The user name of new setting (available at current ROM that released on end of Nov. 2006) has changed as "opensoftbank", and still no one hacked the password itself.
However, finally I found a way to create the connetcion, using some files dumped from current X01HT ROM.
To create SoftBank's connection that can be used continuously after Apr. 1 2007, you need ROM COOKING as follows, because at least the file WIFIwake.exe should be in the ROM to make the connection.
Step 1. Cook your ROM (add following 2 files in attached ZIP) and update device.
For general instruction of Hermes' ROM cooking, see the Wiki and related resouces.
addfile Out.xml
addfile WIFIwake.exe(A.xml and Initial.exe aren't needed)
Step 2. Install ConnSBM.CAB (included in ZIP)
The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.
Step 3. The files are in ROM, so you need to set to "Menu -> Show All Files" on File Explorer to make ROM-attributed files visible (or, use similar option for 3rd party's file explorers, such as Resco or GSFinder+).
Step 4. Run WIFIwake.exe from \Windows folder.
The password will be created into the connection made by ConnSBM.CAB at Step 2.
To confirm whether success or not, check the connection "Internet > SoftBank", and click "Edit -> Next -> Next". If "****************" is shown at the Password field, the password has been successfully created.
If the password is not created, maybe WIFIwake.exe (non-ROM attributed) exists on \Windows. After running Initial.exe, WIFIwake.exe is copied onto storage from ROM. You need to delete it before retry, if you have run Initial.exe before install ConnSBM.CAB or lost setting.
BTW, I guess this way can be applied not only Hermes, but also Universal and/or any other HTC devices those can edit OS ROM (at least, I have successed on WM6 for Universal).
Enjoy AT YOUR OWN RISK !
Great work, a lot of japanese people was pursuing this for long time! Congratulations
Awesome, I had been doing this same thing for 3-4 days no and getting nowhere.
Mad props to you.
I have the Hermes and I'll be going to work as an engineer in Japan from April. I have installed the DoCoMo ROM for the moment (simply because out of the two ROMs, it's the one to have Bootloader 1.0.4, I have no trouble reading Japanese, and I need a Japanese input that's a bit more stable than Bagoj's IME).
However I'm wondering exactly what this thread would enable me to do... I'm planning on getting a subscription with either SoftBank or DoCoMo (whichever provides SIM cards/accepts to register a foreign phone).
If I get a SoftBank subscription, would this enable me to somehow cheat the subscription on getting more Internet for free? Or if that's wrong, what exactly would it enable me to get?
I haven't looked into the phone subscription system at the moment, but soon will. Whatever this thread exactly means could be a huge help in any choice I would have to make.
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Cheers,
Yannick
Hmm, I get the connection added but when I try to run the initial.exe from Windows is doesnt do anything. Using 3DES Custom.

I finally got the program to work. Funny thing is that I could nt cook a ROM with the initial.exe in it of it would not install. I was using the Rom Koch 0.99 release. So if I just copied the files over to a fresh install of a ROM it worked but I had to click initial.exe about 4-5 times before the "loading" graphic appeared.
I am assuming that it either installs a dll with the password encoded in it of he knows the password and didn't want it to become public. Initial.exe puts the connection password in the connection that ConnSBM.CAB creates.
Without the initial.exe running you have the connection with a blank password.
Files
Seeing as how none of these files are in the ROM itself is there any way you can post a list of file to help us re-create the process?
Well done !!!
Finally we'll be able to upgrade to XDA Live of Crossbow without fearing to lose our flat rate !!

Every time I cooked the "addfiles" the initial.exe would not run properly and create the connection. If I cooked the other files minus the initial.exe and the cab it still wouldnt create the password. I could only get it to work by copying the files after flashing.

and that should be it i hope!!!! also, i think i remember needing a codec to play xvids through tcpmp but i cannot find anything that i have archived on my computer... so if anyone has that please let me know.
if there are any other precautionary measures that i can take PLEASE let me know. i 'somewhat' understand how the hardspl works, is that the only protection i have? should i clear up my phones memory? i doubt there is anything like a 'scandisk' or anything for the type of memory the phone uses but i just want to be 1000000% sure that this flash will be successful thats all. thanks guys up front for a great community and any help is GREATLY appreciated.
yeah, do HardSPLv7 first... Then do the Unlocker... then do whatever you want.

No do the unlocker first...it loads HardSPL (1.40.oli) onto the device....it will downgrade the SPL if you run it second.
Once that is done...load HardSPLv7 onto it.
Then follow the list you said.
great!! i just wanted to verify that my particular build (i know there are herm100, 200 and 300 now) would fit the bill.
few more quick q's...
if i ever wish to, can this phone be put back to factory settings and be completely untraceable, or am i making permanent changes to the spl?
also as far as i am aware, overclocking is not available (hopefully i can use the word 'yet' here ) for my device is this correct?
lastly- without outlook (on my computer), is there any way to back up my contacts. not just the sim card, i mean email addresses and everything? i am sure there are some encrypted files somewhere on the device that i can just manually copy and paste when i am done.
and after that, ill be flashing it all over and post the results.. and thanks both of you for the quick responses!!! i will do the unlocker first, thanks for deterring me from that hiccup

OK.....i will answer these qs but you do need to read the wiki so you DEFINATLY understand the different aspects of the hermes...
The device can be downgraded to normal (like factory settings)....see the guides in my sig for more info.
Overclocking....dont even bother...the restriction is in the ROM....later ROMs use the cpu much better.
If you want to backup contacts etc...either use PIMBackup (search this forum for it) or get an exchange account which will sync contacts/emails/tasks etc..
the IPL is still 1.01, can this be upgraded or does it not make a difference?
ok i am trying to run Hard-SPL-V7...
when i run the file 'RUUWrapper' on my mobile device i get this message:
"File or assembly nme 'System, Version 2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089,' or one of its dependancies, was not found."
I just installed microsoft.net framework 2.0
from what the previous screens told me, the SIM and CID unlock was successful and my current IPL is 1.4 from using the programs in 'HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.rar'
please help!!!!!
**edit**
Sorry, that is when i try to run it from the phone itself. when i run it on the computer it says 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

You need to install ALL the latest .net framework packages from Microsoft on your PC, the file is meant to run on your pc NOT your hermes.
you guys are the best and so is this site!!!
last question...
i downloaded the 'vp3G's WM6 v2.0' ROM and added the patch for 'vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.cab ' but i still cannot watch videos on youtube or any site of the likes? the page gives me an error saying 'Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.'
i cannot find java or macromedia that works on windows mobile... what can i use??? i am finding some stuff on javaME but nothing i can comprehend or download...
lol, when I tried to do the Unlocker first it temp-bricked my phone.. I had to reflash old rom, then run hardspl then the unlocker in that order.
Use google and search for 'Flash Player for Pocket PC'
it will give you the link to Adobe Flash Player
Hey all -
If you are looking for build 23025A, please see Post #3.
Here's 23017B. On my initial boot, I have over 29.5 meg free after running Oxios.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS BUILD:
A new splash screen (thanks to eigerzoom)
Replaced psShutXP with PowerOptions - this has a functioning shutdown feature, and a few other neat tricks
Replaced Oxios Hibernate with the complete Oxios Suite - this also include Oxios Close-Apps, which will free up even more memory (but will close all of your open apps)
DOWNLOAD LINK:
Click here for 23017B (with white taskbar icons)
Click here for 23017B (with a colored taskbar theme)
Here's a list of some of the things I have included:
Memory and battery meter
Updated video drivers
Stock start menu
HTC Task Manager
Advanced Configuration 3.3
Total Commander
nueLED
Oxios Suite (Hibernate and Close-Apps)
PowerOptions
PocketRAR (automatically set as default for .zip and .rar)
AutoRun (UC)
Bluetooth Explorer
Fixed Comm Manager (both in button assignments, and Systems menu)
New splash screens
Built carrier free (see note below)
And a few personal tweaks - skinny scroll bars, ClearType enabled, larger fonts, the old IE set as default, ReplyAll fix and a few other things.
PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM was built carrier free. You MUST install a carrier cab for this to work. Find your carrier cab from here:
Carrier cabs
TO ENABLE MMS:
Here are a few cabs I have found on here and ppcgeeks that should help you enable MMS (multimedia messaging - pictures/video messaging). If any of these do not work, or if you have a better cab or a cab for another carrier, please post your information and I will update the catalog. I cannot vouch whether or not these work and am relying on you to verify. Please make sure you only install the cab designated for your carrier.
MMS cabs
I have also put together a few of my favorite programs that I install afterward to share. Please look through and enjoy!
Ivan's Collection of Handy Programs
Many many thanks to bbsandkm, mattsm, TPlane37, Joojoobee666, the PPCK team, the authors of all of the cabs linked from this post (I take no claim or responsibility for them) and everyone else who helped me along the way.
Click here to chat with us on our IRC Channel if you need immediate assistance.
Any changes either major/minor now that we've moved to the 23xxx build number?
Any fun screenshots or just the same old stuff?
Until I feel these latest builds have become fleshed out enough to become stable, I will keep them here in the third post. Please keep in mind that anything from this post is not entirely functional and meant as a preview only. I recommend having a stable ROM handy to revert back to after you are done testing.
The current build is 23025A. I have 4 different versions available for you. For the most part, the builds include the exact same programs and tweaks as the builds in Post #1. Here are the links and differences:
23025A - white taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - white taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
Please keep in mind that having the HTC Task Manager in these new builds is a double-edged sword. It works partially, but causes some distortion in the top taskbar; that is why you have the option to use it or not.

Good for you Mr boner.
While the chef's keep changing, thankfully they pass along their recipes. So the final meal keeps getting better and better.
Welcome to the cooking club!
Here's my 23003 build! It's includes very similar programs and tweaks from my previous, but I have removed the Adobe PDF Reader. Download, flash and enjoy!

I agree it sucks. I'll look into a fix and see what I can do (but I was under the impression it is actually built in to poutlook.exe, so I'm not sure if there is anything that I actually can do).
OK, I fixed the Reply All issue. If you want to replace the left softkey in Outlook from Reply All to simply Reply, it's a simple reg edit that will go into my next ROMs. In the meantime, here's the edit and a cab which will do it for you:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
"Dll"=""
Enjoy!
Good find and good share man! I will be throwing that in as well. Who wants to reply to all lmao. What a dumb feature. I could see if you could select a few messages then click reply all but..

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, I have been searching the forum trying to find out what to do with this .nbh file. But I cant figure it out... I found some things on google but Im not sure and I dont want to brick my phone. please advise.

No problem. If you have never flashed before, please be sure to read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
It has some fantastic information and will guide you through all the necessary steps to unlock your phone, upgrade the radio (if needed) and load a new ROM.
I have the .nbh named TITAIMG.nbh because that is what's needed for an SD card flash. If you'd prefer to use the ROM Update Utility (available in the link I pasted above), you will need to rename the nbh to RUU_Signed.nbh.
Also, if you are a carrier other than Alltel, you will need to install the proper carrier cab for your provider. You can pick that up from here:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/titan/carriers/
Hope that helps!
Ivan
So does this rom that I got at the beginning of this thread have the radio included? If not, which should I get and from where...
I read that thread you sent me to but theres alot of information that just makes me confused.
I have an alltel ppc6800 with WM 6.1 stock. I only want the rom with 6.5 that I found in this thread.
Im not sure what chef is or a kitchen, except for the obvious...

First, a "kitchen" is a program used to create ROMs. A "chef" is a person such as myself who uses the kitchen to create ROMs.
Second, custom ROMs do not contain radios. Make sure you have a 3.x radio. Personally, I use the 3.42.50 (the latet radio made available for our phones). You can check your radio version in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information. If you need to upgrade your radio, go here and download the latest Alltel ROM (which does contain the radio):
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=63&cat=2&dl_id=114
You will need to re-unlock your phone afterwards.
Third, make sure you understand everything on that wiki I sent. It is extremely important that you understand what you are doing to your phone when you unlock/upgrade. There is the potential for this to either go great and you will be very happy...or for this to not work out well at all and damage your phone if you make mistakes. I'll do what I can to help explain things, but we need to make sure you understand.
Here is another important page to read:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanForBeginners
Also, please note that you will lose all of the data on your phone. Make sure you backup any contacts, calendar items, etc by using available programs. I prefer PimBackup (http://www.dotfred.net/). Also, make sure you have any cabs you may need to re-install your desired programs after upgrading.
I started the Bootloader update utility and now im stuck at the tri-colored screen. it says SPL-2.40.Olipro CPLD-9 the dos window dissapeared at this point...
I read somewhere I need to disable activesyne and run a program ~ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229 ~ and that should take care of it but i cant figure out how to disable activesync in vista.

That SPL means your phone is unlocked. Congratulations. Now flash the radio (if necessary) or the new ROM. You're on the right track! And don't disable activesync.
Edit - Vista doesn't even have ActiveSync. We Vista users have Windows Mobile Device Center.
I cant get it to go past the tri colored screen though...
I haven't updated my bootloader in almost a year, so I'm a little rusty. But here are a few things to try:
If you are flashing from the USB, take out your SD card. If you are flashing from SD card, take out the USB cord. It's preferable to flash via SD card if you have one that is compatible.
If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to run the exit bootloader program from the thread you linked?
Ok, I figured it out thanks to you. It was just waiting for the new Rom..
Thanks for your help..
Hi all; I am new (here that is) but am fully capable microsoft certified & mvp coder.
Who is or want's to be or can help working on magldr compatible wp7 Kitchen and initial live-activated dwi rom?
1st goal here to make a kitchen then for hello_world just rebuild leo70 with live activated. Maybe get together here and setup proper dedicated irc. This may not be normal way to go about but I am not interested in social netiquette distractions. Just want to work on this and get it done. I have been using dumps (both my own and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915978 ) along with jtag, and everything at my disposal.
I am doing this now with progress already made and have been working on this since prior to leo70 public release.
if interested or have news or info please post here or pm me- thanks.

Anyone use trivial ftp for FUU? anyone called these DLLs or used/moded these keys?
also: per Da_G partition layout and comments for wp7 hard spl: for FFU/RUU: is it serial or usb/kitl/ethernet?
I think injecting a certificate into leo70 and rebuilding dump up will then allow an ffu to be flashed; debugging this then leads to a lot; hspl, kitchen, new roms.

Where is all the action/info !?
I wish you all the luck to make this a wonderful experience. Hope people with relevant knowledge and skills join you for this cause.
first there need to be some tools to be made , like Reloc , rebuild imgfs , maybe a platformbuilder like bepe did.
after that you could make a kitchen.
Da_G have posted some interesting information in WP7 Development & Hacking section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649914
maybe this would also help to understand the structure of the (our DFT) rom.
Sounds good guys. Potentially integration of the android set up could be good bypassing the need to copy partitions across etc.

Cool.
we can at least discuss it all here maybe: put all relevant info together.
I agree with u ceesheim, with tools required etc.
What about 7/CE platform builder though, modify, plus existing tools for imgfs etc? I was thinking also: for now anyway: just disassembling dwi.exe and figuring out all of the other partxx of this build which gets around non-wp7-spl. its a great hack and bears with it some interesting methods which may lead to other things.
I am really just exploring all options for now; any ideas, thoughts, discoveries? To be honest I am only reverse enginerring it all and have not yet tried to rebuild flash.store.bin (part04.bin = os.nb). Was going to try a few os.nb in there and just see response of magldr etc. Been lazy last few days lol.
But point is seems FUU/RUU and then Cotulla,DFT,Bepe' DWI give us two different paths to explore here!
What are exact known problems & current states on that: trying to do dump to (re)-build+flash?
I think that is where I will work - figure out other partxx.bin and magldr and disassemble dwi.exe to make flasher.
Thoughts?

Hope wp7 kitchen ppl can get together more so and get this done!
leo70 said:
Ok.........
Anyone looked at rgu for serviceapp.exe or got anything on this? calls to DLL for Trivial FTP for FUU? Also: questions if any wouldnt mind:
anyway to tweak dwi.exe just like daf.exe and use switches like |ro| and other switches and set part layout size etc? originally thought could force magldr to convert-extract by putting other partxx.bins on part(0) user then do userdata dump to .img but layout! and prob it just dump in original .bin anyway? not quite sure how dwi places converts- containers, fs, etc?
What IS known about magldr, partxx.bin(s), dwi.exe?
Yeah, im being lazy, maybe too hopeful here on these ones, but worth asking. I will fully disassemble dwi.exe later on .
If problem with rebuild .nb/.nbh perhaps use another kitchen like zero or visual osbuilder with wm6 and just rename .nb to part04.bin to even see if it will load at all; debug this and watch this strap up; I might try this with stock os.nb made to fit to size. CRC?
it may fail totally but I want to see why and where/when/by what. ie: interaction with wp7 hd2 spl emulacrum and other parts+magldr. Will cotl' spl etc get wm6; should 'understand' wm6 os.nb?
Might lead to exploration of other partxx.bin from within wm6 or mtty. another thing is mtty. Mtty brings other ideas into play; if we know Cotulla and DFT layouts etc and truly understand magldr, partxx.bin, dwi.exe, and emulacrum spl, then we can go another way: that is all I am really saying here.
Especially considering how it is built and lack of tools/info on this ***particular*** wp7 build.

Yeah, im being lazy, maybe too hopeful here on these (ffu/ruu) ones etc, but worth asking. These are what I will figure out/we need to. Also noted "wph" string in daf.exe for droid. interesting. so yes, bypass option seems real.
edit: going back to what I said above, replacing part04.bin COMPLETELY with equivalent size os.nb (rename back to part04.bin) and flashing with dwi.exe? there is a plethora of things that could be attempted this way. crc? size? errors? not sure, but there is that hd3/hd7 experimental leaked "hd2 wp7" rom that wouldn't flash to hd2 under normal spl. and a lot of other things here to do; I am just interested in this as it bypasses all normal known spl mechanisms completely! You can flash anything you want without checks etc. And then explore interaction with Cotulla' spl (wp7hd2LEO1000) and other partxx.bin etc. Thoughts?
As far as orthodox methodology goes, so, bepe_cotulla_dft made a complete new platform builder and bsp? thoughts on where to start without this?
Please note I am a windows (nt) kernel coder and getting my head around phone7, ie bsp/oal=hal (!) so please bear with me! Who is working on Transaction Safe exFAT? any progress towards cracking? what is Encryption used in TexFAT? Along with kernel/drivers (nt x86/x64) also have cryptography experience. Sorry for all the questions! umm, in summary:
I am also assuming other partxx.bin(s) of DFT release are SPL, OEM, OEM RO, etc.
***Anyone got up KITL and/or can debug this leo70 release? (please answer with instructions etc!).***
edit: with above factors being case, I will fully disassemble and reverse magldr, partxx.bin, cotulla wp7 hd2 spl, os.nb, dwi.exe later on . edit: am doing now. whilst reading architecture for windows 7 phone! Kitchen will be done, but ability to just flash and part layout initially required imho! I am going to take control of magldr, cotulla wp7 spl, dwi.exe first: doing this now .
Sorry to spread over few posts!
Ultimately thus, concluding, I think key here is to reverse engineer all (cotulla' wp7-hd2-spl emulacrum, magldr, os.nb, all other partxx.bins, dwi.exe) then create new open set of each these and new flasher: anyone explored this, disagree, agree?
This is what I am doing now .
Got IP address & can see what is being done.
i like your work
keep up what u doing and i hope to get it done so we can finally use wp7 unlocked and activated
thank you...
@Leo70
I'm a coocker (for windows mobile 6.X) so if you need some help i think i could help you. Just PM me if you need
Why don't you ask Cotulla? Reverse Engineering will be much more longer?
I think they are working on a new MGLDR so why do your own thing on your side?
Can you put a file in the installation process where we can put our Live ID Code?
If every one have the same market ID that will possibly be a problem in the future?
I'm not trying to teach you anything don't really now about dev stuff just wanted to share my thought and opinion.
looking forward to this kitchen....
ok, after 3 days of attempting to download RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed rom i had finally been successful so i thought i should try out swapping stuff to determine what each part**.bin represents.. started off with the basic os.nb swapping and tried flashing magldr to see the changes..
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but it seems partition size & info are hardcoded into DWI.exe so the file size change doesnt allow for a successful flashing..
so lets hope it will be more flexible when magldr 1.13 is released (which is going to be released "soon" as in no specific eta) otherwise this kitchen might just serve the purpose for building nb's/nbh's for other devices..
But im sure this issue is only present in magldr 1.12 dwi.exe as the wp7 rom wasnt released officially in xda, however only time will tell
Only time will tell, fingers crossed
this project sounds great. a already tweaked rom would be awesome and an pre activated rom even better.
keep up the work. maybe you should contact cotulla and ask him rather than reverse engineer everything. maybe he will help you and save you a lot of work.
