Flashing 1.56 custom when Blackstone has 1.54 SPL default

I am about to buy a Touch HD that has already the stock 1.56 ROM therefore, has 1.54 SPL in by default....
What is not perfectly clear is... do i still need to downgrade, hardSPL, upgrade to 1.56 and then use uSPL or do i simply use USPL and flash as it is?....

2nd option. Run USPL first, everytime you want to flash a ROM/Radio/etc.

USPL and flash

If your device already has 1.54 SPL, USPL is your only choice. Also, unlike HSPL, USPL is NOT on your device all the time. So every time you want to flash a cooked ROM you would have to flash USPL to your device before the cooked ROM flash.
Now if you want to try the cooked ROMs that have 1.14 SPL, you also have an option to downgrade your SPL and then flash.
There are 2 kinds of ROMs out there (both cooked and ship) The ones that only work with 1.54 SPL (you would get this SPL if you flash Ship 1.56 ROM) and the ones that do NOT work with 1.54 SPL (these ROMs have 1.14 or 1.19 SPL).
HSPL is only good for NON-1.54 SPL ROMs.
USPL works with All kinds of SPLs.

Little Problem

Hey Guyz
Ijust flashed SPL 1.54 on my blackstone via uspl. now I got the problem that I can't flash another spl like 1.56 olinex or anything else cuz the communication between blackstone und PC via USB breaks every time.I'm sure my USB devices are fine but what happend to my blackstone? I can't even flash ROMs with my the spl 1.54 cuz it freezes in "Loading..." screen in the bootloader...(SD flash)
here is the link to the spl I tried to use,
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_touch_hd_forum/72426-htc_touch_hd_spl_1_54_a.html
I precicely followed the instructions in the Video and my bootloader actually shows SPL version 1.54 but only in that screen, when I'm in the installer of another SPL (tried 1.14 and 1.56) the version isn't displayed.
anyone got an idea what to do? The Way it is I ruined my guarantee and can't even flash Roms :-(

If your SPL is 1.54.0000 then you need to re-use USPL before flashing. USPL is only temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash
Read this guide and post any further queries within that thread.

what SPL am i? or do i even have one?

hey guys i was looking through the forums and id like to know what SPL i am or why i cant see it all i get is this stuff.. is my spl seen in baseband v? Kernel V? or build number?
thanks in advance

You can tell what SPL you have by booting in to it using home+camera. If you haven't flashed a new SPL you'll be on the stock one (so you wont be able to flash Hero/Rodgers ROMs or use Fastboot).

IT says Hboot- 1.33.0009
then cpld and radio
so can i root this phone?

You didn't mention that you were unrooted. Ofcourse if you're unrooted you will be on the stock SPL. All HTC Dreams (sometimes branded as G1's) can be rooted.

HardSpl mod

I'm just wondering if the 1.33.2005 spl was from the magic and was not made for the g1. What if the current hardspl or engspl is hex edited to allow space like the 1.33.2005 spl so the phones won't brick.

Anybody???

[Q] CID Problem

I have HTC Wizard AKA WIZA200
ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE original, not branded
Radio 02.07.10
IPL/SPL 2.17
and I can't unlock CID.
aWizard shows error
WST say's: SPL version is 2.17.0000
DOC chip is write-protected!!
I thought that I have G4, but hard_SPL says it's G3
I must update ROM cause my Wizard is horrible slow, but how to unlock CID ?
