Okay, I admit to being mostly a newbie. I've tried doing some searches on the site for the two terms, even tried doing some 'net searches, looked in the XDA-Wiki...all to no avail.
Can someone explain what IPL and SPL mean? I, for example, have a Cingular 8125 G3 with an IPL/SPL of 2.25
I've noticed others with the same phone have an IPL/SPL of 2.26 and while I have installed 2.26 ROM images, my IPL/SPL has not changed.
Can someone explain?
I believe IPL is Initial Program Loader. Not sure about SPL (secondary program loader?). Basically these are similar to the BIOS of a PC (sort of). Gives the hardware the smarts to know what to do when its turned on.
As for your IPL/SPL not changing... First, is your phone a G3 or G4 (you have to know this or you may wind up with a brick). If you are G3, did you do a CID unlock (following the steps in the sticky by Dr. P or Faria)? Unless you CID unlock, you won't be able to do other roms.
why doesn't anyone read the wiki???

As I mentioned in my post, I DID; however, I could not find any reference when I searched for IPL or SPL beyond mention of specific IPL or SPL numbers in connection with various ROM updates. If you would like to provide a specific link to the Wiki that defines IPL/SPL, I would be happy to apologize for my lack of search skills.
To answer the other question; yes, my phone is CID unlocked. I tried loading the WizardLove 2.26 ROM (weird Italian program screens), but that didn't update the IPL/SPL to 2.26. I've also loaded the WM6 MB ROM image and that also didn't modify the IPL/SPL to 2.26.
Right now, I'm downloading Molski's 2.26 (10.2) ROM image to see if that updates the IPL/SPL since it is apparently based on the T-Mobile Ship ROM which included an IPL/SPL update.
I'll let you know if that changes anything.

misread your post. sorry about that.
ill try to update the wiki. please post the link to the wiki.
thanks.
on second thought. it does state what it is...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FAQ
IPL: Initial program load - usually paired with Secondary Program Load (SPL), is the boot loader of your phone, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. Note: IPL/SPL are highly hardware dependent, flashing the wrong IPL/SPL is much more serious than a flashing the wrong ROM. It may be noted that, sometimes a ROM package also contains the IPL/SPL which will be flashed into your phone. Hence be extra careful what you are flashing. Note: although a ROM may also contains the IPL/SPL, `ROM` usually refers just to the OS (eg. the Windows Mobile 5, not the IPL/SPL) and the ExtRom.
SPL: Refer to `IPL`

Weird, I did a full text search on both IPL and SPL and neither yielded the link to the FAQ that you provided. I'm not sure what Wiki software is being used, but the indexing may need to be adjusted to look w/in the wiki posts and not just at the header or description of the page.
Not that I'm a Wiki expert or anything.

Look in the stickies at [READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards... This thread states exactly what you need to do to upgrade to the 2.26 versions of IPL and SPL
As stated above, to upgrade the IPL/SPL you must flash with a ROM that contains the IPL/SPL. Most of the cooked ROM's do not contain this so that is why your IPL/SPL was not updated.
I'd suggest flashing to the stock T-Mobile ROM that will give you a strong 2.26 IPL/SPL to work with. Then flash to the ROM of your choice.
Good luck buddy...hope this helps.

The forum search function has issues with searches under 4 characters. That's why you see us suggesting a google search of the site.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. It took me a bit to find the T-Mo 2.26 ROM, but the stickied thread mentioned had a nice link that worked, so I downloaded and used that.
So, upgrade successful. I'm now running IPL/SPL 2.26 with the WM6 MBE ROM image, and the 2.61 Radio ROM and so far, all is good.
Thanks for all the help.
How can I upgrade my Radio ROM to 2.19.11?
I'e got:
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10.0
OS 6.0.0.1
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Choose one from below, then flash it directly.
T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radinly
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
Tried that but then my GSM was gone... no Radio whatsoever... Any ideas?
Thanks.
Did you unzip the folder and run ROM update? If you did then the problem is you need to upgrade to IPL 2.26 & SPL 2.26
It's because you have a 1.xx IPL and SPL. The only way that it is going to work is if you upgrade your ROM. You're going to have to upgrade the whole thing cuz if you would just upgrade the IPL/SPL to 2.xx to make the GSM work then the OS wouldn't.
OR download latest official carrier Rom AKU 2 version,to upgrade to IPL/SPL2.xx,than upgrade to Radio 2.19 if he doesn't want to opt for unlocking and upgrade
Thanks for the replies... just one last question, if I upgrade the whole ROM to IPL/SPL to 2.xx will the XDA remain unlocked (SIM & CID)?
Thanks.
Yes it will, unless the ROM contains a CID but I don't know of any that do. I know for sure that the T-Mobile ROM doesn't since it's the one I always flash back to before flashing a newly cooked WM6 ROM.
Hi
I just got a dopod c800 AKA p4350.
Its got WM 5 on it. I wanted to upgrade the same to WM6.
Have read the threads but couldnt figure the english rom version and also need some help on upgrading.
can someone point me to the right rom and the instructions.
thanks
Whatever you do, if your SPL is currently 1.XX do NOT hardSPL or use USPL. Use the official RUU to attemp to flash your device. IF it changes your SPL and IPL to 4.xx then you can use HARDSPL and USPL.
Other than that, you can download the official WM6 from the thread that's stickied that talks about all the ROMs.
I just unlocked my T-mobile MDA phone to start flashing. Plenty of tutorials on how to unlock the phone to flash but none on actually installing the OS.
Was trying to download TNT.

Also the AMP rom.

I'm finding .cab files and nk.nbf, but not a clue as to how to flash it onto my phone.
Is it even safe to go from 5.0 to 6.1? I got IPL 2.21 and SPL 2.21 on my phone without any problems. Any info on where to start to get 6.1 loaded on my phone would be appreciated.
Ok, as you say its a G4,it cannot be CID unlocked,but you can upgrade it through 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.read about them in the G4 sub-forum posted as stickies .
BTW,whats the exact IPL/SPL,you posted 2.21 only,or is it 2.21.0001 ?
deleted double post sry
help........Please
I have T-Mobile HTC wiza200
IPL 1.08
SPL 2.26
is G3 OR G4
and thank you
Seems to be a G3 that wasn't correctly updated, since the IPL and SPL don't match.

Thank you
where can I find explanation of the update
Sorry I got your personal message but didn't recognize you. Later I remembered that it was this thread. Look at this thread for a tutorial on how to upgrade. I believe that you have a G3, but the IPL and SPL versions do not match. When you finish the tutorial, both IPL and SPL should be 3.08 (or 3.09, but mine is 3.08).
Good luck. If you have any other questions, please ask.
For ROMs, search the 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development forum. My favorites are in my signature.
I have read The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards

You can still download the official T-Mobile ROMs from their website, as long as you are a current T-Mobile customer, or at least know a telephone number of a current T-Mobile customer.
Currently, the link is:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm23294.xml?&A2L.SERVICE=UpdateSoftware
And the filename is:
MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I found the download link here
(T-Mobile 2.26 rom)
rapidshare.com/files/37669086
/MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe
I will try to update my device
Thank you
