All,
I am ready to unlock my Kaiser (TyTnII) but my spl version is : SPL-1.56.0000
How do I get this to *.OliPof??
Alf
HardSPL. That's a very basic question and tells me you haven't read much. Read the wiki completely and all the stickies (at the very least). As a noob, I also spent a few days reading the site before I did anything. If you don't know what you're doing, you can brick your device. Good luck.
I did read a lot, And here is what I have found so far:
HardSPL v6, sets the SPL to *.olipro, My version is *.0000
As far as I can figure out, it is not about Hard SPL, cause this is the Startup bi the bootlaoder, whith which you can flach the rom version to a different version.
Now my question was: how do I updat this, but I already found it, exept the link does not work (tool name is: RUUWrapper.exe)
did I mis anything or did not understand this?

Guilf,
I do know what I was doing, the link you gave me, is the right link (and the only link I found to the Kaiser update, the rest is hermes, and that will not work.) I updated the BootLoader, and followed the rest of the steps, and now..... I am the happy onwner of an UNLOCKED TyTnII
Thanks!!
(and I will donate ofcourse!)
Alf (Whizzy)
No problem. Didn't mean to seem as if you hadn't read. Glad it worked out. Have fun flashing. Too many good cooks for one PPC. It's addictive!
LOL,
and thanks

reset and hold the camera button,you will see a 3 color screen...connect to the PC it should say usb in the bottom of the device screen....now install the latest update from your carrier.
PS
for future reference if you device is ended CID unlocked you do not need to use shelltools...just use the update utility provided by the rom.
also this info has been posted 1 trilion times
..........
Its not that hard to look at the stickies (thats were the really important stuff is located).
Here's a great post for you to use:

thank you faria, bwesty and mfrazzz. I got to the bootloader screen and reflashed it with the latest tmobile rom. I'm sorry ive been asking so many questions, but i've been getting some mixed answers.
like someone told me (ill give the link to prove it) that flashing the latest tmobile rom will cid unlock your device. Im pretty sure thats not the case. And faria i did your latest rom and it got stuck at 99%, and i figure thats because it's not cid unlocked
i did search the forums mfrazzz and it came to no avail. You're right, if i looked really hard i could have found it somewhere, deep in a thread, but what do you expect from someone who just thought he bricked his $400 phone?
there should be a section for itself titled "I just broke my phone, how do i fix it" And inside that thread there should be every way to fix every situation. And i dont mean buried, i mean in the first post. Just a thought, it would have really helped and stopped me from bothering you guys
But as for now im going to go to the sheeltool thread and see if they can help me, i still can't get that to work.
thanks again

A really useful thread (besides the WIKI is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 it, by the way, is the very first item on the WM6 forum, this forum has Dr. P's EXCELLENT thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 plus other useful stickies) It seems that your phone is 'working' after flashing the TMo 2.26, the first thing you need to do is find out if you have a G3 or a G4, then CID unlock appropriately. Skip the shelltool stuff for now, if you don't understand what phone you have, you will be on the road to "brick city".

demontefixo thanks for the quick reply
but, i do know things about my phone, i just have little questions that no one really explains throughly. I know i have a g3, i know about cid unlocking and how to do it. I've into the registry on both my (ex) tmobile dash and now the mda. I'm currenty looking for the best new rom that i want to flash, but i can't void my warranty and that's why im using shell tools. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, and i don't consider myself a newbie (i cant control what other people think) but i do need help on certain areas, and im sorry for even needing that

CID unlocking (as far as I know) won't void your warrantee--at least it hasn't voided mine (TMo US), but YMMV. That said, it isn't a bad thing to ask for help, (cross posting is generally frowned on) we like to help people who aren't lazy or stupid.
When you do post for help, generally the more info provided the better, but I sense you know that. If your phone is a G3, I am not really sure why you are seeking help in the G4 forum....anyway.
IMHO, Faria's WM6 works really well, and I haven't had serious issues with it. There are others that love different ROMs or will cook their own, great! Nottoosmart has a good looking ROM (a Mun derivative ROM) everyone will have an opinion, I know what works well for me. So "what is the best"? Hmm Faria's WM6 (for me).

While keeping your phone CID Locked does keep you from voiding your warranty in that respect, flashing a custom rom on your phone will technically void your warranty also (although unless do something nasty to it, you should be able to get it back to the official rom and with it still CID locked then you should be fine). Example: You flash the latest and greatest WM6 on your phone and then your USB connector breaks and your SD slot doesn't work. You now can't get back to WM5 so they will know if they look. Far fetched, but I'm just throwing it out that if you are really concerned about your warranty, flashing custom roms may not be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, I'm just saying that doing pretty much anything in the upgrading and WM6 forums here is basically voiding your warranty. But I think in most cases, the carriers don't look that close.
And please ask for assistance when you have issues. There are so many posts though, its hard to tell who has really read and who hasn't sometimes. Just remember that the stickies at the top of the forums are your friends and there is really good info there to help you get unstuck (most of the time).
i love you guys
hello could anyone help me ?
my device is stuck in bootloader and its recognized by the PC
this happened when i was trying a cooked rom
IPL 1.09.0001
SPL (ditto)
I searche everywhere an there seem to be only ways out for people with SPL 4.00.xxxx
is there a way out ??
thank you
sorry fr the bump but i really need help
I tried placing the phone in bootloader and installing the official HTC rom
but i get an ERROR 300
and the percentage is stuck at 0 on the screen
Try to flash your device with the Stock ROM.
That usually works
He already tried this, but it didnt work.
Let me just quote a post from dougstoner:
dougstoner said:
Well, yes and no. In the long run, it's better to Hard spl your phone. A lot of the roms in the forum require hard spl first. If you somehow fail during the hard spl, then you end up with a "brick". I used the uspl method first to flash, and it was a little easier to do, but hard spl'ing insn't complicated either. You just have to make sure of your ipl number is higher than 4. You can check this by holdign down the camera button, and press the soft reset button (use the stylus on the side to press) and continue to hold the camera button until you get to what's called the bootloader screen. It's red, blue, and green. Here are the instructions for hard spl, but MAKE SURE your ipl number is hight FIRST. If it isn't, you will brick your phone.
I case of people who don´t read 200 post and still brick their device - here is the guide that worked for ALL people with:
HTC P4350
XDA Terra
WING
with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT)
and then follow this:
Default
For me it was working when:
1. install canonyang.cab
2. install aserpolicy.cab
3- install disablesecurity.cab
4. SOFTRESET
5. run RUU from Hard-SPLWM6 folder verison 4.70.yang
6. screen will become white - WAIT until it reboots itselfe.
7. done!
check if SPL now is 4.70.yang
Fore sure: I used this
http://rapidshare.de/files/38148213/...l_WM6.rar.html
mirror: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ot8zsn
It worked for many others, too.

So the IPL should at least be 4.xx but as you posted yours is 1.xx?! Might this be the issue?
Unfortunately, a SPL of 1.x after a hardspl/USPL means that the phone has been permanently bricked. Did you try to hardSPL your device or use USPL? They're both only compatible with 4.x SPL's.
I saw that someone recently came up with a way to fix bricked phones. They weren't Heralds, I forgot what they were... They basically found a way to use a buffer overrun on the SPL to launch code so they could launch a patched SPL and reflash... i wonder if our SPL's have that same bug and the method could be applied to us, too.
hey,
if my Herald is IPL 1.xxx can I somehow make it a 4.xxx? Or is there no chance to flash other roms? What does the IPL depend on? Production date?
thanks everyone for your patient replies
I guess for IPL 1.x there seems to be no solution as of now !!!
it was actually working initially with touch IT after Hard spl but i wanted to give a try to another version of touch it thats when the device got bricked .
I feel really sorry for you, but dont give up yet. As ivanmmj said, there could be a solution. Just check the forum.
I am not sure whether it helps but I did a little search and found severals threads:
Fix Bricked HTC ELF/ELFin
Someone with the same ERROR300 as yours
good luck

thanks so much mate !!! I will look into it right away
iv done all the reading
iv heard there was a way to flash the ROM through SD so i did try using
HERAIMG.nbh for the official rom from the HTC website !!
somehow the ROM does not work (invalid rom)
id try a couple of roms !!maybe ill be lucky !!
thanks again xtc.sanchez and everyone else
its been very informative and helpful
It's my firs post here, so first I want to say "Hi" to all of you MDA users ;]
As stated in the topic:
I own Trinity (exactly Orange SPV m700, if this can make any difference).
It's equipped in WM6 Black v3.3 by Akeo (05/05/08) and (unfortunately...) Radio 1.16.00.00 and (i guess even more unfortunately..for me) HardSPL by Olipro v1.3
The problem is, that i can't use GPS (as for i read) with this radio...
Did some reading, and found how-to about upgrading radio...
Easy procedure, so couple minutes and done... I checked Device Info and simply looked like that -> ' wtf? because radio version didn't changed...
Did some more reading...
Found the info that some Trinity equiped in HSPL by Olipro 1.3 don't want to cooperate when it comes to updating radio...
The solution is simple - downgrade HSPL to 1.2, install radio and get back to HSPL 1.3
What I want to know is - what is the risk of playing like that with hardspl...
Can I just simply "brick" the device?
regards,
C.
Follow this and you will be ok. I have used it to switch from Olipro's to Des' hardspl.
uhm, i guess you forgot to paste the link you were suggesting to follow
anyway, i followed THIS and some other things found on xda...
Now I'm happy user of SPV m700 with radio 1.5.08.11 WM6 by Akeo and finally WORKING (hell yeah!) GPS navigation...
i'm bloddy happy with it, and hope it will work fine for ages ;]
cheers
hi there i want to unlock my phone so it can use different operater sims and im stuck on what to do. ive got written instructions and it says i need spl "spl-1.0 olipof" im just not sure how i get it onto my phone my current spl version is 1.81.0000
ive got kaiser unlocker.zip just not sure what next
First off, I don't think you used the search. And second. The wiki is filled with alot of the information that you are looking for. So before posting, do check the Wiki about your phone. Check under software in the link below. It will tell you how to both HardSPL and Unlock your phone.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
of course i searched. ive been here a while, i know theres a lot of sad people who like to have ago if you dont. ive already been flamed.
secondly i went to the wiki page because i kno theres people who hate it when you dont. i searched down and came across the kaiser sim unlocker the prblems i am having is with radio confusion and hard spl compatability clarification. i have the sim unlocker and written instructions on how to use it
the problems i am having is my confusion over what type of hard spl to use and i cant locate the correct radio for my rom to reflash after ive finished with the patched radio thats provided with the radio
all i was asking for was help.

Aha! By saying that you can't find the correct radio for your ROM, would I be right in saying that you are currently using 1.27.12.29?
If so then don't panic - it's not available to download, but when you need to flash back your radio as part of the unlock procedure you can use 1.27.12.32 instead.
For basic unlocking you can use HardSPL v1 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679 (as the unlock procedure assumes that this is the SPL you are using it's probably best to use this one rather than the later v3.xx versions (don't worry, you can flash them later)
So, in the following order:
1. Flash HardSPL v1 (once this is done go in to the bootloader to make sure it says "SPL-1.0 OliPof")
2. Run the unlock procedure
3. Start flashing ROMS, but be warned - it can become addictive!
Good luck.

Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Been trying to instal Dutty's wm6.5 R12 rom on my touch hd but whatever I try, it just gets stuck at the screen with the bar and stay at 0%.
I have searched the forum and tried almost everything I could find. SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work.
Anyone have any ideas for a noob?
i doubt if you can find someone who can guide you step by step, i suggest you study more, i was like you before, but i just persevered, unti i was confident enough to flash my first cooked ROM. CAUSENOT ALL BLACKBONE, have the same default factory settings, different stock ROM versions and different spl.it does require time and patience, but in the end this will al l payback.

yeah, this realy helps. Why do people bother to reply if they have no awnser.
I mean I have read those guides on the forum and been busy for a week on it now. I know what spl version I have and which version of hard spl i would need and so on. But it just will not open up.
So if there is someone out there that wouldn't mind HELPING me I would realy apreciate it. But just telling me to search better is no help at all. I have searched with all terms I know but haven't found the right soulution by myself. That is why I ask for HELP, not for smart asses.

look, no one is being a smart ass here. in addition, your description of the the steps you've followed are very vague. my friend, we see 5-10 posts like this every day and in every case, the OP has missed/skipped one or two steps in the flashing process. simply stated, the guides WILL help you flash your device. if as you stated, "SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work you have to complete this task first. you HAVE to update your SPL before you can flash Dutty's ROM. put your device in bootloader mode and if IT DOES NOT display the following, you will not be able to flash a ROM:
BLAC120 (or BLAC110) 32M
SPL-1.56.01 OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v 6
you HAVE to complete this step before you can flash any WM 6.5 ROM. read the guides, make your own easy-to-understand-checklist and follow it to confirm you've completed ALL the steps. be patient and you'll succeed. as a reference, you can use the links in my signature to help you with the process. good luck.
Hi,
I not sure you read the Dummies guide yet.
[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Try to follow this step. Copy the file to phone and boot from there. then u should be able to do so.
Hi guys and girls,
thanks for trying to help. I do understand that people like me who are new to flashing a cooked rom will ask many silly questions. I'll try and formulate better which steps I have done.
I noticed on my bootloader screen that I have spl-1.54.0000. I therefor downloaded the file SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and transfered the exe file to my phone memory. I then started it on my phone. It starts the bootloader screen and tells me:
BLAC100 MFG 32M SS-BC
1.07.0liNex XA
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
From hereon I have tried to run USPL but it tells me it cannot connect due to faulty USB drivers which I have updated with the supplied drivers as indicated. Even with a different cable and a different USB port, USPL will not connect.
I have also tried to run the RUU HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe but it then starts the screen with the percentage bar and gets stuck. After a few minutes it comes with either error 260 or 262 wicht is an update failure I have read. Just the fix to start over again and reset your systems didn't do anything for me.
Since I know that poeple are able to use this rom I am defenite that it is by my own shortcommings that I can't seem to do it. But after having tried a lot, I can not see what I am doing wrong anymore.
Hope this is a better explenation and thanks sofar already.
Ps: I have tried both USPL3 and USPL5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3. I just can't seem to connect with USPL.
If you run win7 (and vista) x64 especially, loading unsigned drivers for usb doesnt work by default, this might be your problem.
You could try the following, boot you pc and just after the bios is loaded press F8 (or just keep pressing it multiple times) and a menu will appear which includes: "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" try this, and after boot you should be able to make the usb drivers work, so reinstall them and try uspl (dont forget to not allow usb connections in windows mobile device center)
Hope this helps, if not, move along

I take exception to this. No need to be a smart a**. Obviously jigners was only trying to help, like others before.
If your having difficulty your queries should be directed to the dummies guide thread where people like myself as well as other expereienced users will be more than happy to help you. No need to create a new thread for queries that have been asked umpteen times before.
