Hi,
Am I correct in thinking that the Hard-SPL will not replace the IPL or Radio Parts of a ROM? If so, is it possible to flash a dumped OS image with the Hard-SPL installed and then re-flash the original SPL? The reason I ask is that I'd like to be able to create a backup of my ROM and as I understand things this didn't used to be possible.
yeah... but why exactly do you think it's necessary to go back to a retail SPL?
Thanks for the reply. I'd like to be able to reinstall the retail SPL in case I need to return it for a warranty repair at some point in the future.
oh right, yeah, not a problem
I assume it's still not possible to dump the IPL and SPL from the device?
This thread is a supplement to the HardSPL thread, in the unfortunate case that you need to return your phone to Stock specifications (including Stock SPL), and the SPL that came with your phone didn't happen to be the 1.90 version included in the HardSPL thread. I've included the few that I have here, and as I come across others, I'll add them to this post. If anyone else has other versions, feel free to post them here as well.
Each zip file includes the Stock SPL nbh file ONLY. In order to restore Stock SPL, you WILL need the HardSPL package from this thread.
SPL 1.95 - Extracted from AT&T HTC FUZE Stock ROM
SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)
SPL 5.08 - Extracted from AT&T HTC FUZE Test ROM
SPL 5.07 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English
SPL 1.90 (from HardSPL thread) - I added this one just so they're all in the same place.
EDIT: I have tired flashing several of these to my device with no success. It appears there is more that I need to do to extract these SPLs properly. In the meantime, I recommend that you use the 1.90SPL from the HardSPL thread for your warranty purposes. If you would then like to get the stock SPL on your device, re-flashing the stock ROM should accomplish that.
Thanks
Thank you so much. I have been looking for the 1.95 spl for weeks. In fact that was the only thing stopping me from flashing Da G's Windows mobile 6.5 ROM. Also could you send me a Pm with Instructions on how to flash the wm6.5 rom and the 1.95 spl.
Thanks.

Before we do that, let's stop there. If you want to flash Da_G's WM6.5 ROM, you need to have HardSPL on your device. You should only be flashing a stock SPL if you are returning your phone, for warranty reasons. Can you clarify what it is you're trying to do?
Also, have you reviewed this thread, so you know how to flash your phone properly?
Thanks for compiling this. Sticky time!

Yea I have looked at that and I know about having the hard spl. I just don't know how to flash the 6.5 rom. Thanks for your concern though.

I have HardSPL and it says version 1.90Olinex. I think my stock was SPL 1.95 but i'm not sure. I have the ATT Fuze. I'm having a problem with the G-Sensor and need to send it back for replacement. Can anyone confirm that I need to flash 1.95 for ATT or anything else? Also If I have upgraded the radio, should I downgraded it before send back for replacement or its ok?
Thanks

When you flash the stock Fuze ROM, your radio will also be flashed. Be sure to follow the instructions in the Hard-SPL thread for returning your phone to stock specifications. When you get to the part about flashing back to Stock SPL for warranty purposes, the 1.95 SPL from the OP here is the one you should use (if you purchased your Fuze in the US after it was officially released - that's what mine came with).
Well, lucky me . I kept shaking the phone and my G-sensor works now. It was stuck on one side and would move. I think I will hold off with the return to stock for now, i really dont want to get refurb replacement.
Thanks for the reply.

Please... for your own sake and ours... please read. This has been covered many, many times... I don't want you to end up with a bricked device, and quite frankly, I don't believe this question needs to be answered yet again. Please read, I am not trying to be rude, but if you read, you won't have to ask this question.
Hey Captain,
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but for some reason the 1.95 SPL file doesn't work. The SPL remains as HardSPL. However, the Stock 1.90 SPL file provided by Onlinex does work. Any advice?
Thanks!

I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. I'll look into it. In the meantime, if you just re-flash the Stock ROM after flashing the 1.90 SPL, it should upgrade your SPL to 1.95 (since that's what's included with the Stock ROM). I'll try and figure out what I did wrong.
Great, I'll try it.

SPL extract attempts unsuccessful
I have tried to flash almost all of the stock SPLs I extracted, but I can't get any of them to flash using the HardSPL wrapper. I'm not sure that any of them will work. I've updated the first post with the only method that will probably work to restore stock SPL (unless someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried htcRIE, NBHExtract, NBHUtil, & yang, and while all of the SPLs I extracted appear to have been done successfully, when I try to flash them to my phone, none of them are working. I'm getting a connection error with the wrapper. Maybe its not the SPL, but an issue with my phone, I don't know.
At any rate, I believe this thread will probably not serve the purpose for which it was intended, and should perhaps be archived & closed.

As you already suggested, it's probably best to flash back to the stock 1.90 SPL following Onlinex's guide after which one should just install the stock ATT Rom or the other stock roms with the latest stock SPL. This worked for me.
Thanks!
About the stock SPL, i am not sure which is mine. As i am from Asia (Malaysia) , which one should i get?
1) SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)
or
2)Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English

So as far as i understand, it is possible to flash 1.90 SPL to my device although it had 1.69 SPL as a default by T-Mobile!?
To your problem: shouldnt you just restore your stock Radio and stock OS before flashing stock SPL ?

First of all, if you need to restore your phone back to stock, as tvaril noted, you MUST first flash your stock ROM/radio. Once you do that, then you should flash the stock SPL (1.90) provided in the HardSPL thread using the method indicated there.Then, re-flash your stock ROM, and it should restore your stock SPL.

Yes, you should be able to flash the stock SPL 1.90 provided in the HardSPL thread, using the method indicated there, and then re-flash your stock ROM, and it should restore your 1.69 SPL.

i believe you misunderstood his question. he's asking which SPL should he download given that he got his phone in malaysia
i believe that it should be the asia-singtel one. i'm in singapore, and that is the rom that was recently released for our devices. so my guess would be the singtel spl.
Hi guys,
I´ve read a lot of posts here at xda.
But i have few questions before i try to upgrade.
First of all, my RADIO version is not listed anywhere here. It is 1.58.21.26. So if i SuperCid it, is there a problem to put another radio version?
2 - If i install another ROM(original or cooked), is there a way to go back to the default rom that it´s in my phone? even after i installed other radio version?
3- supercid, hardspl, sspl or uspl? wich one is better or keeps my original rom and radio??
Thanks!!!!
1. If you CID, and use HardSPL (1.22 latest i believe) you should have no problems flashing new Radios or ROM's.
2. When you flash a new ROM your current one is over written (after you have flashed it you have to set up the OS again - all data stored in phone memory will be lost).
3. They are all different Things. HardSPL permanently updates the SPL on your phone allowing you to flash a new ROM when ever with bricking your phone. SSPL (SoftSPL) allows you to flash a new ROM (or radio, or hspl) 1 time then returns to the normal SPL. uspl, I'm not sure about I have never used it before. and CID unlocks the device to all networks and allows you to flash any ROM (rather than just ones from your carrier or official HTC ones. NONE of these will preserve your ROM if you flash a new one. however if you just flash these bits they should not effect windows or your radio.
DO NOT put a new ROM on your phone until you have unlocked it and put HardSPL or SoftSPL on it. If your brick your phone its near impossible to get it working again!
Questions before proceeding.
My HTC NIKI100 was unlocked for any carrier through the IMEI code, it also has the original radio 1.58.21.26. Perform the installation process of HARDSPL 1:22 as the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 and got success! now I can put a new radio or need to do the procedures as SuperCID here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395945 ???
Due to display flickering issue which is worse and worse from day to day. I decided to restore stock rom for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV to make a complain.
My device is Security Unlocked, with different Radio and ROM so i would like to know if my steps for reverting is ok. I do not want to make my device bricked!!
I have EXE file with ROM from T-Mobile www which includes all like SPL, RADIO, ROM etc.
So my conclusion what i have read is that i have to:
1) restore stock Radio
2) remove security lock
3) remove Hard-SPL
4) flash stock ROM from EXE file i have already downloaded. It will overwrite 1.90 SPL to 1.69 which was my default and overwrite ROM too.
Can anyone experienced with this stuff tell me if i am right? thank a lot.
With the steps you have listed you will be good to go. Just follow your steps and you are good.

I am not a noob i have read this many times, so i know what is the "official" routine. But this (official) routine was, i think made, for people who had no choice (as me with original exe) and they had to dump their ROM first, and than reconstruct part by part. And because the dumped ROM will never be CID safe, they had this tutorial 1. Radio, 2. OS, 3. SPL and it rally does make sense for me.
But i am lucky, because my operator (T-Mobile) shipped the device with EXE, which contains all the stuff (Radio, SPL, OS, RUU) and it is directly for my CID. So that is why i think my tutorial in the first post will work. And i think it should work though if i only remove Security unlock and Hard-SPL. Because it will overwrite all partitions in device even restored Radio, OS etc.
So am i right ?
your right and to save you step dont worry bout radio removal since its in the stock rom pack like u said just load the 1.90 for warrenty in the hard spl thread and relock your phone as an extra precation(some carriers care some dont) the run the exe and ure golden
ps. PimBackup is your friend (just in case u forgot)

Dear not a noob,
You asked a question, and you were given the "official" routine. If you knew the "official" routine, and you were going to do it your way anyway, it kinda makes your question unnecessary. I remind you that you are not the only person who reads these forums. In fact more than a hundred have read this thread. Some of these people "noobs" or not may want to know the "official" routine.
I personally don't care what you do or where you put your phone. But if anyone reading this thread follows the official routine they will not have any problems.
I understand why people don't like answering questions in these forums. No good deed etc etc......

Dear Ray,
you did not understand my question. That is all that i can say about it. I know about official routine to restoring stock defaults, but i was asking if my routine could lead me to same result. Because as from what i have learned in this forum this routine should lead me to the same result more easier way because i have RUU with stock ROM direct for my CID.
Your way i have to first extract nbh image from exe. Second i have to extract each nb from nbh. Third i have to make nbh from each nb, radio is not necessary, because it is already here. And for fourth my SPL is 1.69.0000 which is different from SPL contained in the Hard-SPL removing pack and it does not work for me just to replace the SPLs. And until now i did not find out why. Someone few months ago told me that i can use the SPL from Hard-SPL removing pack (1.90.0000 i think) and then overwrite it with my stock ROM package, which will restore my stock SPL and Radio, OS again as well. So official routine works for those who had to dump their ROM to backup their stock ROM, those who were not as lucky as me to have stock ROM with RUU for their CID. This procedure, i personaly think is OK, is not covered here on the forum, and that is why i was aking for blessing from someone more involved in this problmes...is it ok now?
PS: anything i can flash after removing Security Lock and Hard-SPL is my stock ROM and that is what i have. So it should work if there are not some any other things which i have missed somewhere!
Tom
bah dont worry bout them crackheads say i can speak from experience that your way work since thats exactly what i did last week only att exe pack and it did overite the 1.90 stock spl,changed to 1.95 in my case,like u say along with the radio and os. only diferance is i never security unlocked my phone sincei was happy with the raphel radios . now im happy with my new(well refurblished ) fuze.
p.s. i had defective screen too incase you were wondering
Everybody play nice
Ok, that being said, since you have the "official" exe from your Carrier, all you really have to do is:
Run the .exe from your Carrier - this will replace the stock Radio, ROM, and boot splash.
Install the warranty stock SPL 1.90 from the Hard-SPL thread (using the Hard-SPL RUU, of course).
Re-run the .exe from your Carrier, which will overwrite the 1.90 SPL with the stock version.
Other methods will likely work too, but IMHO, that's the easiest .

Are you sure that running EXE for the first time, before removing Hard-SPL, will not corupt the device ?

Positive. That's actually how I used to "flash to stock" in between custom ROM flashes.
Search for a HowTo ... to deactivate the HSPL for warranty ...

Just flash a STOCK Rom via sd card and you're good to go. It flashes everything back to its stock values (spl, radio, bootloader, etc). Otherwise you can flash a stock rom via CustomRuu just like you would with any cooked one, and then proceed to remove HSPL by executing hspl2 again and selecting SPL 1.42.0000 from the drop down menu. =)
Here's the official flashing guide anyway, it's all explained in there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
