Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Monet SSPL (SoftSPL) which allows you to flash a special USPL (UpdateSPL)
Once you have installed (flashed) the USPL you can flash any Monet ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any official or cooked ROMs.
This SPL is based on original Monet 1.05 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Monet after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. I can make you a reasonable offer to SIM unlock your device.
See here
Note that the USPL is overwritten after you install a full rom. It's not recommended to install a full rom, normally you only flash a rom component such as the OS or a splash. To check if the USPL is installed enter bootloader mode (tricolor display) there should be written "SPL-1.05.USPL".
Some users tested the SSPL and flashed a splash and two users (kioo and pptapple) succesfully installed the USPL
Anyway the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
Instructions to install USPL:
1. connect the phone with a usb cable to your PC and make sure Activesync is ready (green icon)
2. run the file SSPL.bat on your PC, it will transfer the SSPL to your device and start execution
3. the display of your Monet may turn dark, just ignore that
4. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Monet USPL - RUU.zip): this will flash the USPL to your device
The attachments include:
Monet SSPL-JumpSPL.zip : SSPL
Monet USPL - RUU.zip : USPL
Splash.zip : original Monet splash screen (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
Radio.zip : original Monet radio (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
monet-backup.zip : you can make a full backup of your Monet with this script (run monet-backup.bat)
Darksimpson htc romtool.zip : you can convert any rom part in .nb format to flashable .nbh format
OS.zip : Original Monet Lobster WM5 OS (if needed you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe) Download link here
Now it's your turn to cook some great new Roms
Update: Strik3r can develop a WM6.1 for Monet. See here
Have fun,
JockyW
User kioo wrote me a PM that the USPL installed fine. Thank you very much
So the only thing which needs to be tested is to flash the original OS.
Who dares?
Once that is tested it is possible to always recover by flashing the original ROM (if the USPL is installed of course)
Thanks jockyw2001 the endeavor, what a pity my MONET has become the brick, already nobody dared to test.
The only method waits for my MONET returns, tests your great work.
Thanks!!
TEST OK!
Update: Strik3r can develop a WM6.1 for Monet. See here

thanks alechy & a russian

just see this and post...
USPL installed fine. I'd be willing to test the 6.1 rom too
im am also willing to test wm 6.1 rom for monet just let me know
I am happy to trial the 6.1 Rom too, I already have a monet that has corrupted memory and cant boot into active sync (just white screen). Any idea how I can get into bootloader device on the Monet? Since I cant get into Activesync I cant install the USPL.

I want the USPL for Modeo 3389！！ THANKS！！！
any progress?
now the lobster can update the ron
I would like to ask all of you if someone can supplement the original WM5 rom.
By the way the chinese have newer roms, but I haven't registered in there yet, the link to the forum (translated) is in the other topic, hope more people test the 6.1 )
great tools they did the trick
anyone have a new splash screen that can get rid of that annoying virgin one?
i have been trying to get rid of it since i 1st app unlocked my lobster..

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
There is a way to flash your StarTrek. It is a way using pdocwrite utility from itsutils.
WARNING! Your startrek must be application unlocked and SuperCID!
itsutils can be downloaded here.
You can flash only a OS part of rom! (OS.nb)
So, there is command:
Code:
pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000
After complete, make a hard reset (Hold record and camera button, and press power (red) button) or Clear Storage (Start Menu->Accessories->Clear Storage)
P.S. Thanks to sp3dev for giving me a pdocwrite command
THAT IS AN OLD INFO, SO HEAD UP FOR UPDATED (IN RUSSIAN):

This needs it, but allows unsigned code))
It`s not the only way, the others are but need to be developed (like patched spl)
Can flash to WM6?
So can we flash our startrek to WM6 using the OS.nb of the VOX rom?

offcourse! ^^ but by his words, it is better to port tornado rom to startrek, and not vox rom
Let's wait for the Tornado WM6 rom
The Tornado WM6 rom may be out by end of this month. Let's hope our startrek will be compatible with this rom.
we will need to port it for our device
A noob question here
If we only flash the OS.nb part while keeping the rest as it is, won't it give us compatibility problem? May be a noob question, but just wanted to clarify.

Occassionally yes, usually no. The IPL and SPL part are not at all likely to be a problem if they are older versions but the Radio ROM might need to be a certain version for a later OS to work correctly.
But so far, such Radio incompatibilities have come up rarely...
Huh, this is my most pervert dream! Thanks a lot for this! ^___^ Now lets pray for new AKU, new Radio........ ^_____________^
pdocwrite doesn't work for me
I'm getting the following error.
"Copying C:\itsutilsbin\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
CopyFileToTFFS(06_OS.nb:0, 0, 02600000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed."
What's wrong here? Any idea?
your startrek must be application unlocked
WARNING! The command is "pdocwrite 06_OS.nb 0x0 0x2600000"
Please note that 0x2600000 is size of your OS.nb in hexadecimal value. You may calculate it via standart windows calculator
If the device is application locked, we can't even get to the "CopyFileToTFFS" phase. Since I passed this stage, this confirms my startrek is application unlocked. My device (Dopod S300) is CID unlocked too. I was using the Cingular rom for a while, but currently running Dopod rom. I tried to flash to Cingular's OS.nb from my Dopod rom, just to check if this pdocwrite method works. I tried few times, but can't get past this "ITWriteDisk" error. I verified and confirmed the Cingular's OS.nb is of exactly 38MB (0x2600000) in size. So the size is not the issue. So have any other idea?
May be itsutils.dll library not compatible with your rom... I dont know why you have this problem...
Anybody tried this flashing so far?
Has anyone tried this pdocwrite flashing so far? successful??

Fyi, I tried this command even from the latest cingular rom and it failed with the same error, so the problem is not only with the dopod rom. However I've already PMed sp3dev on this. Waiting for his glue.

have you try a custom writed or or only the cingular rom?

HTC Wizard SoftSPL (sSPL) For G4 Wizards
FAQ:
What is SoftSPL?
-SoftSPL is a patched SPL that will temporary unlock your CID (untill reboot).
-It will be copied to your device and loaded (BUT NOT FLASHED!), the device is tricked to believe it has SuperCID (More accuratly g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel will be 0 ).
Why Temporary?
-1st because of warranty, since there is no CID block written, warranty isn't void
-2nd with this tool it's not necesarry to have a permanently unlocked CID.
-3rd it's safe, it doesn't flash CID block or IPL/SPL by it's own, but choose your ROM you want to flash wisely!
Isn't shelltool the same?
-no shelltool will strip the rom, and then flash it with pdocwrite, where sSPL is a bootloader which says it has supercid, thus tricking the RomUpdateUtility.
But can I make it permanent?
-Yes it can make it semi permanent, with HardSPL (it's the same trick, but now a patched SPL is flashed to device).
What does Soft SPL change on my device?
-nothing, it's loaded into memory. Only the ROM you choose to flash with the RUU will change your device.
USE AT OWN RISK
How To use?
If you don't know what a G4 safe ROM is, don't even try to upgrade!
WILL NOT WORK IN VISTA
-Unzip SoftSPL.zip
-copy the nk.nbf file from desired G4 safe ROM to the SoftSPL folder
-Fully Connect to ActiveSync
-Run START-sSPL.exe
-the Screen of your Device will turn white, don't panic, this is normal
-SoftSPL will now run the RUU, proceed as usual (the screen of the wizard will stay white during whole process, again don't panic!)
DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip
G4 Safe means:
-No IPL/SPL and no Extended ROM.
Many Thanks Go to:
Olipro: For patching the latest SPL
SAA044: For testing all the versions, and keeping his head cool when the first hardSPL killed his Wizard (beyond repair!), and for keeping on testing the new versions with his brand new Wizard!
Whiterat: For all his technical and moral support, without him it wouldn't have excisted.
Pof & Des: From whom I took the idea, and some of the scripts.
NB. This sSPL is not for G3, it will proceed with updating, but in the end OS will not be written, tested it with my own G3. Beware of the SPL/IPL (there is danger to flash G4 spl on your G3 due to the fact you are using a G4 sSPL, the RUU will probably think it's running from a G4 device!).
NB.2 If you want to mtty in stead of flashing a ROM, place mtty in the folder and rename it 2.exe
[EDIT:12-september 19:54] I updated the file for a confirmed working RC1 (v0.1) WITH the missing dll [/EDIT]
[edit] 23.09.07
Some people reported that enable rapi does not always work, if that is the case for you, you can try to replace the original enable-rapi with the one attached here.

Well Done Eqx and Well Done to everybody else involved.

First, you're welcome.
2nd Please keep in mind you need IPL/SPL 2.xx.00001 for WM6 (use the latest officcial one from your provider)
3rd It's not different from an ordinary flash, you can go back to any ROM that is G4 safe.
4rd G4 safe means no IPL/SPL (Extended ROM hasn't been tested yet)
Thanks bro
thanks bro for ur quick reply & i will try it as soon as TNT5 release.(inshaa-allah)

[solution] G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked device
Thanks!! I wil post the results a soon as i flash a new ROM
Thanks!! It's 2:33 in the morning where I live and I just found this. Am trying now. Will report results.
I tried it and it didn't work. But it was probaly my fault.
Would anyone be so friendly posting some G4 Save-Roms. I think a lot of us guys aren't sure wich are save and wich aren't.
Thank you
thomme
My way
For anyone interested i did it like this!!!!
1. Flashed back to latest origenal rom.
2. Copied the file into shelltool directory to verify the ipl/spl status. (Normally most roms here dont have ipl/spl in it, never hurts to check though.
3. Used wizard service tool to make sure the enable rapi command is installed on device.
4. Copied the desired nk.nbf file into softspl (root) folder.
5. Ran the main exe file without errors and had wm6 flashed successfully.

I tried and it didn't work at all. I tried 3 times already from the time I downloaded the rar and still no success.
First time I tried it I had Titanium 2 installed and it was a no go even though the IPL/SPL were 2.26.0001
Then I tried twice using the official T-Mobile rom with IPL/SPL 2.26.0001 and followed the directions provided to a t and no success...
I am going to try once more tonight since it is 3:25am and then im giving up for the night.
Oh and I am trying to flash faria's rom. Think that might have something to do with it?

Here is exactly what my device is doing:
I flash back to the official T-Mobile WM5 rom for the 2.26.0001 IPL/SPL adn then let customization finish and then try to softSpl but with no success. On my MDA, it asks me to confirm something and the screen never turns white like it is supposed to do.
I have tried this several ways and on 2 different roms.
I have tried flashing back to T-Mobile official but skip customization 2 times and use softSpl to flash faria's rom and it failed. I tried once after waiting untill customization is complete and installing faria's rom and it failed once again.
I also tried installing cert_SPCS.cab and installing enablerapi.cab prior to running softSpl 2 different times, once before customization and once after customization. both times failed. this time I was using Black Diamond 2.0 instead of faria's rom to see if it was just the rom.
Not once did I ever get the white screen and not once did it flash successfully using this method.(At least not for me)
Hello friends,

I want to use Maxniper Roms. so i have some question:
1- Can I install new WM6 or WM6.1 or WM7 Roms to my PPC witouht Hard SPL?
2- WHat is Hard SPl? is it needed for new ROMs or for all WM6 roms such as TNT4 or TNT5 or Aserg AKU3.13(WM5) ?
3- Can i come back to past SPL?
my device is I-mate Jamin

Dear Friend,
I read all posts about HardSPL
But the question is:
What's the differ between Old Method and New Method(Hard SPL)?
If I install PDIViet_Temp rom first and Install new WM6 or WM6.1 or 7 after it hanging in boot screen and freezing is apperar and IF i use HardSPL method the problems not occur?
Thanks
WHy is needed ?
* More STORAGE area ! the smaller the os.nb the larger your storage!
I encourage all of you who haven't tried this method yet, to try this method. Specially if your favorite rom is relatively a clean rom and consequently has small os.nb. If you want to know how much extra storage you will get by using this method subtract the size of the os.nb (in kb) from 58,368. the difference will be the amount of storage you will gain when you try this new method.
* Faster and safer Rom Upgrade.. If you do install PDAVIET first and overwrite its Data later. It takes more time.
Without HARDSPL. Big Storage mode can't be use.
hma4 has wrote it. Why no one read it??

You can always revert your spl by flashing an operator ROM such as teh Orange WM5 ROM available on the FTP server.
Or O2 ROM Germany.

Download XDA neo original ROM.Version 215447 2154140 021921 (ca. 50 MB)

Nothings different, just first and second SPLASH Screen. And Price Different for XDA Neo Race Edition.

Old method needs to downgrade before you can upgrade. It needs batch files as well as ROM files etc.

This is because HardSPL prevents certain checks being performed, so that the ROM can boot without being an official ROM. Without it, the SPL part of the loading mechanism refuses to boot the OS and instead reverts to bootloader.
The official way to upgrade your Prophet is to use the Rom Update Utility (RUU) provided by your vendor. The RUU is very convinient; it has all the OS files packed together in one archive, so nothing can be misplaced and it is executed just by connecting your device to your PC, no preparation needed. This RUU has the nasty habit the check your Prophet by using the SPL. If your device isn't the same brand (like Q-tek, Dopod, O2, XDA, etc, etc,) it just refuses to work. Because of this it was practical unpossible to post a universal upgrade overhere.
Some genius people developped a way to replace the OS through the "backdoor". With the help of this set of hacking tools it became possible to upgrade your Prophet with a universal, homemade ROM. However, because of the complexity of this method (now refered to as the "Old Method") it was very funurable to errors an needed a lot of preparation. Also the OS-file cannot be combined in one single archive as with the RUU. The cange of loosing or misplacing one is there.
So the challenge became to find a way to use the RUU without the check. So other genius people find out a way to manipulate the SPL so the RUU will bypass its check and will work as if it was released by an offical vendor.
This SPL manipulation can be done for one time use only use SoftSPL (JumpSPL), the original SPL will stay resident but is bypassed prior to running the RUU. If you flash a lot this method is time consuming, but the advantage is that it won't interfere with your device (except upgrading the OS ofcourse...)
An other way is to use HardSPL. This will replace your SPL with a manipulated version wich will stay resident until you install another SPL. This way the first flash-cycle will be a bit complicated but the following atempt will be as easy as connecting your device to a non-Vista PC and run the provided RUU.
The downsite of this successtory is that it installing the HardSPL seems to be a tricky procedure where a lot of people obvious are making a lot of mistakes.
I want to upgrade my Oxygen to WM 6.0 or 6.1, but I'm not sure of how to do it without screewing up my phone (I already did it on a tornado..).
Could someone check if I've understood what I need to do ?
Starting point :
brand new HTC S310, just flashed by HTC, english (Italiano, English, french, espanol, nederland, deutsch), No Sim lock, no app lock, System 5.1.1.195, Radio 4.1.13.20_02.41.90, RTL 2.002. On the bootloader, I can read "Oxygen, ONBL 1.05.0000, SPL 1.05.0000".
First , I need to change the SPL, using http://rapidshare.com/files/65732449/hspl.7z.htm :
1. Copy spl.nb, spl.lnk and jumpspl.exe to the root of device, hold camera and launch spl.lnk - you`ll see the white screen
2. Connect USB to pc
3. From the flasher folder run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow instructions to flash the Hard-SPL
Then, reboot the phone in bootlloader
Then, I can flash the rom contained in http://rapidshare.com/files/114457795/wm61OxygenUpdate1.rar, using the same usual RomUpdateUtility. that would bring me to WM 6.1.
After that , I'm done.
If I'm not satisfied with this Rom, i Could reflash with Oxygen/RUU_Oxygen_1.5.401.2_R3_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_HTC_EUR_Test.exe, which is a WM 6.0, or some others found elsewhere. For that, I don't need tochange again SPL etc..
If i'm missing a point, thanks for helping me !

It would be better to flash a rom with the flasher from the unlock tool. Your phone/bootloader will remain unlocked that way.

Sorry, but as I said , I'm not familiar with all this : you mean to modify the 6.1 rom to include the unlocked bootloader ?
If I don't do this, I will have to flash first the free bootloader before flashing any other ROM ?
Thanks for your help.
Thank You vary much.
finally i successfull upgraded my oxy!!! (reading this few lines and the others in wm 6.1 release thread)

Hi ady

Do you have a HTC athena or variant.

I didn't used that. if i will, i don't need anymore athenaunlocker? what's the difference between athenaunlocker and hard-spl from that link?
You have to explain WHAT HTC wm6 ROM you want to install First
If you have and old WM5 x7500 just register on www.htc.com and download the HTC OFFICIAL WM6 update for YOUR language!!
ONLY
If your X7500 is SIM LOCKED you need to UNLOCK it first(wrapper isn't for SIM Unlock) and ATHENA UNLOCKER meets your needs

If you want the AP3 0r other roms in the sticky made for SPL 1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
then you should run the athena wrapper that Olipro has made to be as much foolproof as possible
As he says "your device MUST BE RUNNING WINDOWS MOBLE and MUST BE SYNCED WITH THE PC.
to recap: IF YOU ALREADY HAVE 1.20/1.25, DO NOT USE THIS."
It seems that you must use the same USB port as well.
i have allready downloaded that rom, all i need to know is the difference between that 2 files: activeunlocker and hard-SPL. And, as I saw on a post of that link, i can use one or other from that files. now, tell me, activeunlocker should I copy on PPC? (i will receive it tomorrow, and i want to know what i have to do) Because from PC doesn't work, it gives me an error.
ATHENA UNLOCKER is needed ONLY if you have to unlock the SIM too.
E.G. If your phone, WITH ORIGINAL ROM, can use ANY SIM, you don't need to run ATHENA UNLOCKER
As CMONEX said here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2030747&postcount=81
wrapper is hardspl + customruu
unlocker is hardspl + sim unlocker
SPL means a part of "bios" used ALSO for defining your device language and vendor (HTC, T-Mobile, DOPOD,...) and avodi flashing a "non original" ROM
To flash ANY rom you need to overcome those informations. You can do this running an application, but if something goes wrong during the FLASH and your device doesn't start anymore... you are lost. You can't run the application again, because you haven't the OS!
HARD SPL has been developed to avoid this problem. It is a NEW SPL (1.2 or 3.x) developed from OLIPRO (and CMONEX too for 3.xx) flashed into your device. it is IN the "BIOS" so, even if your OS doesn't start, you can flash ANY ROM
Both, WRAPPER and UNLOCKER will flash HARDSPL. You need only the WRAPPER if your phone can use any SIM!
When you choose the ROM some are build for the SPL 3.x and other using the 1.2 SPL.
With WRAPPER or UNLOCKER you have the 1.2 SPL release, if you want to test a 3.x ROM you need to flash the AP4 rom.
The only differences between SPL 1.2 and 3.x are the "partitioning" of the device. AP4 needs more space for the system files, then the 3.x SPL was developed to increase the System Partition. SPL 3.x flashing IS ONE WAY ONLY, (since Cmonex relase the tool to go back): if you flash AP4 you CAN'T flash any origninal HTC ROM

Listen to what Sergiopi said.
You will always get an error running these programs unless you have an activesync connection to the ppc when you run the program.
The way you were talking I thought you had already tried to run it on your PPC
sergiopi thank you soo much. you are so kind. thank you.
