Hard-SPL, Or Flashing any ROM, and staying Brick-safe

Well... I did it for Hermes, tomorrow I'm doing it for Trinity, this is just here to make sure I get round to it... and to let you folks know it's in the pipeline

I was going to ask you if you had any plans for us. Thanks for the hard work

Olipro: this will take you to the hall of fame together with Des, Pof, Lvsw, Dutty and some others.
Looking forward for your news. Thanks.

According to hermes thread this is simple rip of SSPL bootloader (my appologies to Olipro if it is not). Shuch tool exist for a long time but there are some reasons why it is not released to public. However now I'm forced to do so, use at your own risk. Development of better tool was in progress but now I'm not shure if I wish to continue with it.

Hi, what's the difference between this SPL and the SSPL-TRIN.exe available in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632 ?

Thanks for your contributions . I hope that you are not getting put off by the whole "pay for services" thing that seems to be going on. You are the one that came up with the SSPL utility and we are very grateful. You were the first to make a Trinity ROM change possible without a CID unlock. Keep up the great work it is appreciated.

This one is bootloader image for flashing in to device, SSPL is the same image wrapped with stuff needed to start it from WinCE.
This is for those users who want SSPL functionality in flashed-in bootloader. Most average users (don't playing dangerous games with flashing probable crap to radio) won't need this.

Technically it is half a rip off: Olipro "backported" your bypass-signature patch to hermes SPL-1.04, but he had to reimplement the "show itself as SuperCID" patch because this on 1.09 just requires a NOP, but the default on 1.04 is to assume CID (remember the CID checking bug in that bootloader?), so implementation is different. The good thing of having it on 1.04 is that it allows to access the radio bootloader and 1.09 doesn't.

I think Olipro released the SPL in the aim of helping, and also because he learned from you and had fun extracting it... this doesn't force you to release the Trin SPL, but I see it as a good thing... can you be more specific on these reasons why this has not to be released?

err... I hope you continue with it, don't want to discourage you on that... you made it possible the best it could ever happen to Hermes & Trinity, and you have all the support and respect of xda-dev community for that. Hope you continue with the development whenever you have time to do it, as you are a very valuable piece of the puzzle here

Matterhorn is absolutely right. Great work! We all are very thankful. Keep it up!

well, I'd just ripped the Trinity ROM to upload it...
but it's identical to Des's (except the version number) so no worries...
on another note; I think you'll find that I haven't actually released your SPL Des, I still have that on my computer; currently I've only sent it to pof and some guy who intends to play around with it... it's a shame someone has to be so petty as to decide to up and stop development of something just because someone ported their work to an earlier ROM, but if that's the way it's going to be then I guess it means that development will be slower as others are left to pick up the gauntlet

I dont understand Des behavior... what's the deal of Olipro rip/port/transform Des's code to an earlier version ?!
Isn't this supposed to happen in an open minded/source community ?!
I thought you were all here because you share the same interests... This new "wave of paid services" is really messing up things among you all and specially the free open source filosophy.
We're very thankful for all your hard work so all you can expect from us is a deep respect. I really hope that you can cut the crap of your divergences to continue providing your amazing solutions.

Des's not hyping up his contribution to the community and is trying to be cautious with releasing something potentially harmful. Nobody wants more bricks here...
Rip-off or not, if it's likely to cause problems (and Des probably knows better than others), it's not safe to make it public.
There's a lot of buzz lately in Trinity WM6 thread and now with patched SPL here. A lot is yet to be done, probably more than already done, why the buzz?

this on 1.09 just requires a NOP, but the default on 1.04 is to assume CID

From technical side mostly because of that flashing without any integrity check is dangerous. It works for sspl but just because sspl is used by most users to flash shipped or somebodys cooked (and tested) updates. Potential users of standalone bl (wich claims to be crashproof but if signatures are fu*ked up or absent it is NOT) are seems to be more hackers than consumers wich means that they would flash not just shipped updates. I know about dozen of devices bricked (full of bads) due to incorrect signature size or absence of it. Do you whant more ?
this doesn't force you to release the Trin SPL

Looks like my position need be explained bit clearer.
At first - here I do not hack or code for resulting effect or profit (I have a job for such things). I do this just for my own fun. And yes, for comunity benefit as well (because making community happy is a fun too).
And it is more fun for me to make things more featureful rather then make them fast (While community may benefit more from fast one. In short term.).
Surely you have noticed long pause between my promise to bring SSPL to all platforms where such tool is needed and present days. And that SSPL was not introduced even for platforms I have access to (and where it is actualy working as a proof of concept). And why standalone bootloaders for trinity and hermes was not released while it would not take any time for me at all. What happened ?
Does I have no time to code during last month ? Or have I been bribed by HTC not to do so ? Or maybe I'm going to post "give me 1000$ and you would get SSPL for your device" ?
No.
After some feedback 'bout several bricks and thoughts about new wave of upcoming HTC devices I came to certain decisions about what future version of SSPL would look like. It was designed that there would be no device speciefic versions of SSPL and SSPL itself would not contain any (HTC copyrighted) binary blobs. Instead it would be universal (PXA/OMAP/S3C) loader and universal patcher (which (with some good luck) may be able to produce patced bl for new device in couple of clicks) and set of romimage manipulating tools (to [re]sign and check for software bads) too. I do not mention bootloader patches improvement for more safe flashing and may be software bads recovering. As you can see this is quite complex job wich can not be done in couple of hours. And more - hacking is almost always fun for me, coding - just when I'm not too tired with my main job
Many (if not most) parts of this is done: loader successfully works on all three platforms, fuzzy ARM patcher algo is near to completion, image manipulating tools are not a problem at all (but even so they need to be coded and this needs time).
But as for now I lost fun in providing universal solution - most users won't notice any difference and developers... now there is a porter among us so there is no need to worry about new device support any more
(non-universal) SSPL for breeze and wizard as well as standalone bootloaders (with slightly renewed patches) would be released in days, for other devices as soon as I'll get access to them for testing purposes. As this is much more sooner than planned release of universal loader+patcher then community benefit (for now).
I dont understand Des behavior... what's the deal of Olipro rip/port/transform Des's code to an earlier version ?!

Let me explain: I have some relations with darker side of the force than hacking htc pda is. Among siths taking somebodys ***ck or ****en and "porting" it to newer(older) version of program called ripping. Siths do respect copyrights in their odd way and pay no respect to rippers. Nothing more

I do see your point here, obviously it is a double edge knife because it allows to easily brick the device if the flashed file is not well formated, but on the other side it also prevents the device to completely brick because of a bad radio flash which seems to be the most common brick for hermes devices, and it is starting to happen on trinity too. That's why first thing I asked was if it is possible to implement something to prevent bad blocks in NAND.

That's amazing, I hope you reconsider your decision as I (and sure a lot of other individuals too) would really like to see something like this happen.
We are curious by nature, I must admit second thing I did after you released SSPL was loading it on IDA (first was trying it on my hermes) and try to see exactly what you did. I just did it out of curiosity and trying to learn something from your impressive work. I was a bit disappointed because you didn't release the patches so I "had to" reverse what you did in order to understand it, but this was also challenging and fun for me. I for sure learned something on the process and finally I left it because there where some sections I couldn't re-base correctly on IDA.
I think Olipro just had the same feeling as I had, and he didn't release the Hard-SPL in the aim of ripping your work, but in the aim of helping the community reduce the number of bricks because of a bad radio flash, and he also gave you credit for your work, so I see this as a team work and not as ripping. I hope you can see my point too and forgive Olipro's audacity, and of course continue the development of such universal bootloader tool... in the end we're all here because we love to squeeze the devices and we all do this for fun and learning, don't you think?

Rather strange. SSPL is ordinary executable produced by VS 2005. No disasm/debug protection. Loaders code is packed mainly to save 100kB of space and to hide code from too curious but unexpirenced eyes for their own sake as a second task.

Yes, that was not the problem... if I recall correctly I managed to extract IPL and SPL with PE explorer, but then I wanted to compare the extracted SPL with an unmodified SPL, I set the base address to 0x8c080000 and found something around 0x8c040000 which I did not know how to interpret correctly... probably I was one of those curious but unexperienced eyes

Sorry, that's out of context; I'm not inferring anything more than that I extracted your patch, which might I add consists of a single NOP and two address deletions (although of course, identifying them is the kicker).
A while back... I asked you about it and was stonewalled by you; you offered me nothing, just some info that you were working on something or other further to it... I can only guess you assumed I'd be unable to extract the clean bootloader image and thus discounted me.
resultantly, I recently got tired of waiting and dumped the SPL. I suggest you head over to the Hermes forum where you will find that I haven't secretly ripped off your work and then called it my own.
I ripped the SPL out for myself, spoke to pof about it, and then decided that it'd be a good idea to port it back to the old SPL and release that, which I did.
I never got a chance to release this one, but all I was going to do to it was remove the button press patch... I did not plan to take any credit for this Trinity ROM whatsoever.
anyway enough of the *****ing and ranting. I hope we can move on; I appreciate you're clearly pissed that it got released as a regular NB Image but I only hope you'll get over it.
Also... I've made a modification to the SPL to ignore bad NAND blocks... not a clue if it works, need someone who's bollocked up their NAND to test it... obviously you need a way to get it on your phone first.

Proper video drivers and unlocker Project

cmonex and olipro have offered up to get the proper video drivers and a sim unlocker done for the kaiser. they though have asked u guys the community to get them a kaiser they could use to do the development of the drivers and unlocker. cmonex has previous experience in doing driver hacking so she would find a way to hack the current video drivers to be used more efficiently and to use the full power of the kaiser. olipro u guys all know from the hermes forums for his unlocked and hardspl but this time around the new securities require he have a device to be able to unlock it. if they wont succedd in any of these 2 then they will give back the kaiser.

i would repost it but idk if it isnt off topic bc that was for how much people are willing to chip into the bounty. u can add to first post of bounty thread though. cmonex who would be lead developer of the video driver said it should be just a mod to existing video drivers after looking at what core people are saying. she says shes willing to do it just needs a kaiser and the bounty would be nice after shes done bc it will take some time and she is a student too.

I would guesstimate that Tilt users account for less than half of the users in this forum. There are more world-wide users here using the MDA Vario III and the TyTN II and I am quite sure they would love to have an unlocked phone.

Actually I would say tilt users are the majority

Who cares about the sim locker. You guys don't have to argue about that so much, the more important thing here is the drivers.

Unlocking Tilt/Kaiser with WM6.1

Hi Guys,
I'm on T-Mo USA and am looking at a AT&T Tilt to replace my damaged MDA. I've read somewhere that I would not be able to unlock the WM6.1 version. Is that true? If so, how can I downgrade to WM6, unlock and then upgrade back to the OEM WM6.1?
I would appreciate any comments. Thanks.

Read a little more, you've obviously been miss lead. And you do not unlock a rom, you unlock the phone, then you flash a rom, or keep the one you have on there.

The guide to all unlocking is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

Rhodium HardSPL - News and Updates

First I'd like to mention that I am grateful for all the developers on XDA working on these phones. I'm no programmer but I know plenty who are in all fields so I can appreciate what you are all doing.
I just wanted to create this thread to see how close we are to getting our hands on the HardSPL for Rhodium and any updates on development.
I've had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week and half now and already bored with it. The phone itself is great, but Windows Mobile 6.1 seriously sucks.
I really want to start using Windows Mobile 6.5, which brings me to why I created this post.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

Olipro and cmonex are still searching for mobile devices with hynix memory to test some stuff.
In short, don't expect anything soon and have patience

what
how do we know if it has that memory so others can help look.

just asked permission to Olipro if it was ok if I wrote a tutorial regarding this...
Uhm...I'll open a new thread with step-by-step instructions on how to help them out
Hope it will help them. Gimme about an hour to write a detailed tutorial.
*EDIT* Tutorial is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4035499#post4035499

hmm this thread will be good for the usual "hardspl waititing posts".. when release comes, we (olinex) will just create the real hspl thread, so mods will not have to clean up for release (like for topaz they had to).
as to why this flash type checking is so important: on topaz the hynix ones really just got lucky by not getting their mfg partition corrupt. (no one got it corrupt but as i said that was luck) i want to avoid any such problems on rhodium.

Does this mean there is a feasible solution for Samsung based units ?
I am surprised that it makes a difference based on the fact HTC wont have made a separate spl for hynix based units. and rom upgrades will contain the same info...
can hard spl for samsungs be realeased with a link to the tutorial on how to ensure you have samsung?
darides tutorial suggests most people seem to have samsung anyway.
infact has ther been a hynix unit seen in the wild?

Perhaps Olinex can make a version for samsung that checks on the sspl that the memory is samsung or not. to avoid bricks or other problems.
I have not seen or know anyone with hynix memory on their tp2 after checking about 5 different units from my friends and family they are all samsung. My vodafone one is samsung too.

it's great news for me

is it a problem if everybody have the samsung chipset ?

Hi Guys,
I can't put into words how much I respect and revere the information posted on your web-site and I apologise for asking the million dollar question. But I need to know.
Can we please have an ETA / timeline for the release of the HardSPL for our HTC Rhodium.
I hate my Vodafone UK branded HTC Touch Pro 2. It is red and so am I with anger. Joking aside I love HTC standard ROM's. The last one I put on my HTC Touch Pro was amazing.
Please, keep up the work....
Kind regards...

If you want to flash the HTC Shipped ROM, look out for the Goldcard methods. I'm not going into detail here because it's off topic and well documented else where. If all else fails cmonex normally helps via PM.

I can totally understand people begging for this. I nervously waiting for it to, but not to install custom ROMs. I'm waiting for it to get blackberry connect running. To achieve that I need to manipulate the device ID in the ROM itself, to fool RIM, let them think it's running on a proper device. But to flash this manipulated ROM I need HSPL (or does someone know a way to manipulate the device ID (HTC-Rhodium) in another way?).
However, asking and begging does not help or make stuff easier or getting it done faster. We all need to be brave and patient and wait a bit and let olipro and cmonex get this stuff done.
Cheers

Sorry to go a bit OT here but I am interested in your info about Blackberry Connect. I have just come to the TP2 from a Storm and one thing that is lagging behind with the TP2 IMO is the push email, would the 'updated' ROM you are proposing allow me to use the pushmail service from BB ?
Thanks,
Neil

Working on the Imagio HSPL

I'm in the process of Developing the HSPL for the Imagio. The last one I did for myself was back on the PPC6700 so its been a while. I've never seen anything like this. I purchased the Imagio a few weeks ago and love it, when I read that it was exclusive to Verizon and a HSPL would be hard to come by I decided to start developing again. Cmonex will most definitely finish before me however I've decided to press on because I like a good challenge. I was using the raw dumps from this thread but decided to use my own phone just to make sure nothing is lost in transit. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. If anyone has any advice on these processors or any other information, please feel free to post please.

cool cool!!

Nice, looking forward to it.

I believe Cmonex has been to busy to start working on it, so you may finish first

Much appreciated regardless of who finishes first.

Who finishes first has my donation!!! You should jump on this and try to get it done first! Good luck! I donated for the Touch Pro2, ** great job cmonex! ** Now this one (Imagio) is one bad a$$ phone, I even like it more than my TP2, it's just a beauty! Also, a SIM unlocker and Radio (if it's not unlocked already, not sure) would also be awesome! I can't get Verizon to give me my unlock code, I don't have service with them, I whodinied the phone...

WHY WAIT so long - you need to ENJOY the BUGS that are
built into the CURRENT Version

LOL! Well actually, I have both a TP2 (Sprint) and the Imagio (Verizon) and I have encountered numerous lockups on the TP2 and none on the Imagio!!!!! +1 for Imagio

Good news.

hehehe.. time to get busy!!

Yeah, I want this HSPL so bad too, I said I'd donate to whoever gets it done first!!! I already paid to get it SIM unlocked, now I want to CID unlock it. So we need the HSPL before we can continue. (Need to learn how to walk before we can run with this bad boy!)

just voicing my desire for this as well. Imagio modding!!

walkeryan isn't working on it any longer

Then he needs to delete the thread or close it and not waste our time!

He just wanted a response and he got one, he never had any plans to work on it on the first place, ***hole.

So is anyone working on one?

Dude! You need to hush! It is not an easy thing to create HSPL! Esp from the scratch, he already said, he will try, but cmonex might beat him. So give some respect, and be patient!
