Downgrade Bootloader - is this possible? - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi,
I wanna use mtty.exe and the rtask-command, but the bootloader is not old enough (not 1.04).
Is ist possible to downgrade the loader and if yes, where can I get an old one?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

AFAIK there is no 1.04 bootloader for Trinity.

There is a 1.05 MFG SPL for Trinity with rtask.
Used to be available as a part of HTC test ROM in Trinity firmware downloads section in Trinity wiki.

Thanks for the information.
Think, I'll test the HTC test ROM.
Regards
Sebastian

There's no easy way to downgrade, though.
It's also not necessary... Use Des's SSPL to boot your device with SPL 1.05, not risking bricking it by flashing SPL.

HEEEEEEELPP !!! ROM DOWNGRADE ON XDA MINI S

Hello everybody !!
I just spent about 28 hours reading the threads in order to change my GERMAN O2 XDA MINI S (Wizard) ROM. Into an english one.
For that matter I know I need to unlock my CID, but since i have the latest ROM installed, IPL 2.21.001 and SPL 2.21.001 Lockwiz won't work !!!!
so I tried to Downgrade my Rom in order to make the Lockwiz work, but I am not able to find a suiting German Rom anywhere on the Net.
So I was wondering if nebody would be kind enough to tell me where to find and older German ROM or how I can avoid DOWNGRADING and simply unlock my CID

Since you have a G4 boot chip (the tailing .001 in IPL and SPL tells that) you CANNOT downgrade your ROM to 1.x version.
DO NOT TRY INSTALLING A 1.X ROM: YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PPC!!! DO NOT FOLLOW FARIA's PROCEDURE TO CID UNLOCK 2.X PHONES: IT WON'T WORK IN YOUR CASE ('cos you've got a G4 boot chip).
This means that you will NOT be able to CID/SIM unlock your phone with lokiwiz 0.2b (however you can still use lokiwiz 0.3a to SIM unlock it, but no CID unlock).
But don't despair, you CAN still change your phone language and install whatever 2.x rom you like. The procedure to follow, however, is a bit different: you cannot simply download a rom you like and install it, you'll need to hack it a little first, but the results will be the same!
Basically, all you have to do is get the ROM you like (only 2.xx ROM!!!) and remove from it the IPL/SPL part. Then, you have to flash this 'hacked' rom using a slightly modified ROM Upgrade Utility (i can provide it to you if you want). With this method you're not going to replace the IPL/SPL (bootloader) of your phone so you don't need to CID unlock it (which, at the time i'm writing, is impossible).
To remove IPL/SPL from your ROM you have to extract the file nk.nbf from the ROM and get its content with typho5 tool (search this forum to have more info). Then you have to reassemble a new nk.nbf using nb2nbf. The new nk.nbf, of course, must NOT contain the IPL/SPL parts.
If you prefer, you can tell me what ROM are you interested in and i'll do the dirty work for you. Just let me know.

Hi risidoro,
I am trying upgrade my O2 German Wizrad G4 version into WWE, I followed your instruction & has used nb2nbf to compile a 2.xx rom without IPL & SPL. When I used the update utility to falsh the Wizard, the utility said something like: Error, this update utility is not for your device. etc.
I think I need to used your modified update utility , can you send it to me?
Also my other question is, when I use nb2nbf , what should I put in the model id for my German Wizard?
You advice can help me & many others to solve our headache in upgrading a G4 Rom! Cheers!

does this mean that its on a G3 chip and that i can use lokiwiz03a to CID unlock it and upload any 2.x ROM as i please? and downgrade the ROMs too?
@Bola: you have a 1.x ROM so you can CID unlock your phone with Lokiwiz0.2b (NOT 0.3a). Then you'll be able to install whichever ROM you like.
Bye
I've just published a tutorial that can help those with a G4 or G3 (>= 2.21) CID-Locked device to install whichever 2.x ROM they like.
The tutorial is here:

I thought so too. It certainly won't work on mine since it is an HTC and not a Dopod. I wonder if we could use the same novenderID installer used with the Prophet and just install extracted the files? I suppose the trinity could need a new version. What do you think?

It's not possible to do a _noID utility for Trinity AFAIK. CID is checked by bootloader, and rom upgrades use NBH format.

This news is very depressing. That means that people with an HTC device will never be able to use Dopod ROMs or cook up new ROMS, for instance the GPS enabled? That's no fun. Maybe we just have to get the Trinity unlocked?
yes, you need to cid unlock it to do such thing. Is exactly the same thing as happens with hermes.

Use TyTn utils for unlock CID very dangerously!
because, for CID unlock it is necessary downgrade SPL to 1.04 (by default bootloader 1.06)

I didn't mean to use Hermes CID unlocker on trinity, that would definitely brick the device because it flashes a wrong radio.
You guys need to work together to develop a method to CID unlock the trinity, but this will take some time, first you have to gather info about the device and post it in the wiki... bootloader part is most important.
Hi, anyone has used this new ROM from dopod? What are the changes? I was not able to find any release notes.
How can i know if my device is CID locked?
has anyone extracted the extended ROM from the Dopod D810 handset?
I would like to have a sneak peak into anything that might be useful for the hermes.
thanks in advance
Ronny
1)how can i tell if my device is htc or dopod?
2)how can i tell if i have a CID locked device?
bootloader command 'info 2' will answer both questions
Can someone summarize the CID locking for someone unfamiliar (or point me to a thread to read)?
I have an HTC-branded, unlocked Trinity that I want to keep up to date.

-SPL protected from all HTC retail SPLs being flashed by accident (to bypass, use SSPL)
-bad NAND can again be checked for with "info 8"
-version displays 1.30.Olipro
[b]Version 1.30:[/b]
-Fixed SPL protection bug
-rtask commands enabled
-based on an MFG SPL
[b]Version 1.20 - initial release[/b]

How can i return original spl to make 1.01 MFG from it? Or can i make unlock procedure with your spl? Just want to know, coz i don't want to get bricked device.

If you run imie-check's unlocker again you'll have 1.01 again, but this will remove HardSPL from your phone.

Put the SPL you want to load in a NBH file (header type 0x200 for trinity SPL) and flash it using SSPL, this will overwrite Hard-SPL.
If you flash from bootloader Hard-SPL will not be overwritten.

thanx for your job once more. my comments were really stupid, sorry
On contrary, 1.01 MFG is likely to be drawing more power, successors are better optimized for power conservation.
What would I need this for?
I'm really baffled. I've got my device SIM and CID unlocked, thanks to pof, and installed the latest HTC Rom...
But what is all this for?
Would appreciate it if someone could explain.

well, mainly to allow you to flash unsigned ROMs to the device without Soft-SPL. and secondly to allow you to recover the device if anything gets ****ed up during a flash... such as the radio, or the OS.

Thanks Olipro.
Can I just download the file and just install it? Will it change anything on my device? Bearing in mind that my device is CID unlocked.

Rom update for a N00B

Hi Guys,
I have just found the (newest) ROM for my Mteor (RUU_MTeoR_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP.rar) But I dont have ANY experience flashing my device with new ROMs
Should I just install this ROM and see what happens or do I have to make some extra actions to get this ROM properly installed?
Could anyone please help me (in a N00B language) to get my device updated?
I saw that some versions of the IPL (?) en SPL (?) makes differences, but I don't know what versions I use. What versions of IPL and SPL should I have?
THNX!
the original shipped rom updates depends on your device...
there is a "Code" called CID in the background...
with that upgrade you talking about you can flash only orig. HTC Devices (CID = QTEK_Z12) russian devices have QTEK_A07 ....
you can find that out when you connect with the term tool mtty for example...
but you could also try easiely flashing the shipped upgrade... when all works fine... if you have another cid there will be an error that you cid does not match... then you have to find a matching shipped upgrade..
if you want to flash a upgrade that not matches your cid you have to use sp3devs, DEV SSPL (have to use customRUUpdater) or his 77.7 SSPL (you can use orig. Shipped Updater)
i recommend that you first flash the latest orig. shipped update (1.34/1.38er Radio) after that you have to App unlock the device and then go on with WM6.1 ROM!

[Q]SoftSPL

I've been reading the wiki, but either it was not clear enough or i am dumb enough (^^)
can anyone pls clarify me? does SoftSPL need to be loaded on every system startup or just only on rom upgrade?
it seemed to me a better choice to use SoftSPL instead of HardSPL to not void warranty.
since OliNex (uber pro ty dudes) are developing a HardSPL is it possible to port/transform/whatever to SoftSPL?

softspl aka sspl is only used for flashing spl's. You can't flash a rom using a sspl. Why do you think the Hardspl is created???????
thought
sspl -> temp fix
hspl -> perm fix
With the softspl you flash the hard spl and then you flash a rom with it

no. imagine the following case... your device has no matching shipped rom for it... you flash a rom via sspl... flash gets interrupted... YOU're STUCK!!!
and warranty isn't voided with hardspl, just reflash to stock SPL before sending it in...
