hello guys...i've been trying to upgrade to this Romeo's rom....but seems there's a problem with it...after i copy n run the jump spl, the screen become tri color...n i waited for the "usb" words to appear in the middle of the screen,but it didn't appear....and because of this i've been stuck at these steps for few days...i hav searched at the wiki's, but couldnt find about this probl..help pls guys...thanks in advvnce,,
okay..think i find the way now..searchd again at the wiki...n the suggestion was to reflash the original rom...think this is my original rom "1.81.707.0 (radio 1.27.12.11) Dopod WWE "...the question is...the rom version and the radio version is different here....the rom vers is exactly the same wit my rom...but the radio is different....should i just proceed or not?
What version of JumpSPL are you using? Mine, and a couple of other's as well, didn't show the "USB" with version 1.93. Try version 1.56 and it should work.
Please tell me that you are not trying to flash a ROM using JumpSPL...
i've been told to use this "JumpSPL1.93-KAIS" in order to use the "@ROMEOS_v3_5"...i just follow the steps given to me...
Connect Kaiser to computer using USB cable
Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN
RUN kaiser-HardSPL.exe on Computer (PC)
Follow instructions on screen:

That's why I went with an open-ended statement/question. His original post states he checked the Wiki, but I saw no mention of HardSPL.

HardSPL
ROMeOS
in that order...
Ok, so I know I have posted this before....and have seen it posted in about 100 other places ( not to mention the ROM UPGRADING thread right on the front page of the WIKI ). JUMPSPL is ONLY used to flash your current locked spl into a HARDSPL.
Step 1
Run JumpSPL on the phone
Step 2
Flash HARDSPL onto the phone
Step 3
Using HARDSPL, Flash your ROM and/or RADIO
NEVER NEVER NEVER DEVIATE FROM THIS!!!!!

In answer to your Question, Yes.
Read the instructions of Post #2 very carefully of this thread to install Hard SPL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922.

For a nice UI try the [27-08-08] L26 KaiserDiamond Throttle Launcher (Beta 6 released!). ROMeOS is fast and stable though, best way to find out is to try them.

MOD EDIT HDuser 02/01/09
This page has gone wiki and can be found here.
For a better understanding it is recommended that you read all 3 parts under "Flashing - Changing your device to a new version or language" on the main wiki page found here
END MOD EDIT
so, yeah, why not do one for this device too
[size=+3]UPDATE: Hard-SPL released![/size]
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
[size=+2]23/04/09 -
UPDATE: New version will work on SPL 1.54 or above ROMS!!!! [/size]
so I of course changed the 1.56 rom wiki accordingly to that. (someone can review it if they want)
many thanks to testers for testing!
[size=+1]Donations are always appreciated to the big link in our signature ("elite project"). Thank you!![/size]
Preparations:
0) this package is for Blackstone devices. for any BLAC***** now (SSPL loader checks this).
1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=en
2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Instructions:
read this if unsure how to install Hard-SPL...
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, use 1.56 HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip ) if you want to use new 1.5x ROMs. then extract to an empty folder.
NOTE: 1.14 HSPL (the original Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip) is good for only older ROMs, 1.56 HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip) is good for newer ROMs. 1.56 is not backwards compatible with old ROMs. the incompatible ROM will still boot but screen is going to look funny which is a temporary issue but uncomfortable.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!!
3) run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is recommended,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar, press Yes on phone if asked. please answer with Yes as fast as you can!
5) some notes: when RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
6) device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 1.07.OliNex, the SSPL version, which is temporary.
7) in a bit unusual way, it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the "USB" text on the tricolour screen shows up, RUU will see device.
8) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
9) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.14.OliNex or for new version 1.56.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter SPL to check version, fully power the device off by long press of power key, then power on while holding the "volume down" key on the left side of the device. keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode, then release it.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe from SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is sayingn 1.07.OliNex, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe) on the PC and flash.
*important*: make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual SSPL method.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs or radio packages. also, this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one, so if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is posted in this post as well. use this relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty, and only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. see steps at the end of this post about how to reflash stock SPL.
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e. hardspl or stock spl restore)!!! nothing other than SPL's made by Olinex team (using OliNex custom cert) will flash to make SSPL more secure. if you want to flash some other rom, then use shipped RUU or blackstone customRUU if you need to flash cooked ROM.
NOTE 5: for developers asking: Hard-SPL is not based on MFG SPL, as that SPL causes the screen not to turn on after a resume. (maybe solved one day ). so currently, MFG SPL can strictly be used for development and hacking.
Troubleshooting:
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
nothing happens on the device, does not enter tricolour screen mode anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe from SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is showing 1.07.OliNex, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe) on the PC and flash.
general usb connection error problems if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to 1.07.Olinex screen, then
- try a different USB port
- try different USB cable
- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy
- also do not use USB hub
- you can also try rebooting your PC
- and you can try using another PC.
- also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time and perhaps if you are on vista), then if RUU times out, but HD still says "USB" on the tricolour screen, just leave it there and re-run the RUU when driver installation finishes.
- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.
HD specific USB or connection errors:
- as already said, in a bit unusual way, it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the "USB" text on the tricolour screen shows up, RUU will see device. if not (happens very rarely), wait for RUU to time out (or wait 5 minutes). then remove back cover, reset, it will boot OS again, then you can retry unlocking process from step 1.
- alternatively, launch SSPL-Manual.exe from attachment, run it, wait until 1.07.OliNex tricolour screen says "USB" on it, then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on the PC.
other issues if SSPL-Manual.exe or Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package from this post. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.
[EDIT 17-12]
Congrats on releasing this HSPL.
Now the cooking and flashing can begin.

Don't have this phone either, but like you (and most seniors) I do respect the efforts of Olipro and Cmonex (and alike).
They have contributed a lot for our community.
BTW. The honour for the Wizard HSPL goes to Olipro (as always), it was his patching that made the thing work (who's else )
Neh, i'll wait for the public release. I've seen enough horrible failures with HTC devices already when alpha testing
Good job cmonex and Olipro!
have HTC Blackstone SPA firmware to test... waiting for HSPL !
Olipro and Cmonex: the best!
Thanks to all mods
Congrats to all moderators who are doing fantastic jobs, dont have the phone yet but thanks guys, U all rocks
Yeah finally!!
Let the tests go fine and the flashes begin!
Great job man, many thanks!
Cheers.
Waiting patiently for the public release as well. Great job guys, once this gets wrapped up a world of rom cooking will open for the already great HD.
Thanks, please do let us know if we can be of any help!

I am sorry, but I still have to say I have got the so called HSPL in some forums. I downloaded it and have it tested. It worked. Someone said it is SSPL made by Cmonex not the HSPL.
I am not sure if it was the leaked test version. If you need it let me know.
Guys, Great Job. Thanks a lot.

Skywalkeret, what u have is leakage of Cmonex's testversion and so-called HSPL by someone, which makes you several steps to the success. what i know from Cmonex SSPL is not secure at this stage. And he/she does HOPE everyone can pay patience for the final HSPL release. THE PRE-LEAKAGE of SSPL WOULD MAKE HTC to improve their future "firewall" against HSPL, and I don't believe that EVERY EACH HTC OWNER or FANS would like to hear this sort of stuff?!
It is A REAL SHAME for those guys lost their promise to Cmonex and just make their own threads HOT, even DO NOT MENTION A WORD ABOUT THE GENERATOR OF THIS SSPL.

yes, the xperia seems to have a normal HTC SPL... so it will probably need a hardspl. =)
[size=+2]UPDATE: RELEASE TIME[/size]
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
UPDATE - NEW: 0.78.OliNex Hard-SPL, I was asked to help with this as 0.78 seems to work better for some newer devices. it's the attachment xperia078_2.zip - to flash this over your existing Hard-SPL, you can just use customruu or SD flash. you can also flash it via SSPL (such as Xperia-SSPL-Manual EXE) or if you overwrite NBH file in X1_HardSPL_v1 after running the exe.
thanks for any donations, you can see the donation link in our signature - the big link saying "elite project".
Instructions to flash Hard-SPL:
it's recommended you run the basic package, and don't flash the other attachment (MFG SPL - it is only for hackers).
0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=en
0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL (MFG SPL 0.52 is a separate attachment).
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
4) run X1_HardSPL.exe. (if you want to flash MFG SPL: at this point replace the extracted RUU_Signed.nbh with the MFG version of RUU_Signed.nbh)
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
7) Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8 ) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.72.OliNex (or 0.52.OliNex MFG).
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned OFF, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then release the power button, and finally release volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically(your device doesn't go to tricolour screen), please copy Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe from the Xperia-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL (tricolour screen saying 0.52.OliNex), run RUU on the PC (i.e. the rest of the hardspl package) manually.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is also available here - scroll down!
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL. use Xperia CustomRUU to flash other ROM images. for example this version: http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip
***
IMPORTANT: extra Xperia-specific notes: the prerelease roms out there in the X1 ROMs thread are not going to flash on retail devices because the radios they include are only flashable on prerelease devices ("Security unlocked" message in SPL can be seen on these). so what you need to do is repack the NBH without the radio - this will only work with Hard-SPL though, as repacking breaks the HTC sign on the NBH file.
I had a tester upload a repackaged UK image, which will flash fine. you can find it in the x1 roms thread. =)
***
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to tricolour screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if hardspl EXE won't run, and you are on vista, try to right click it and use "run as Administrator" option
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
***
extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

yes, the xperia seems to have a normal HTC SPL... so it will probably need a hardspl.
so, let us know if you have a prerelease device to test on... we looked in this forum and saw several people who have one. thanks.

I just got my xperia and i'll be willing to use my x1 to test hardspl. Its a retail version and not a prerelease x1 if thats any help.
I have, and have already dumped all rom to raw. You can pm me what you need or catch me on msn.
I can do my best to help.
What is a SPL ?
Does anyone have a working version of the hardspl for the X1 so we can try it? Thanks
Yeah we need SPL big time, any genius working on it?

I bought a new device and when I tried to upgrade it with an unofficial ROM I couldn't do the step of upgrading SPL and the indicator stayed stop at 0%
My Device boot loader shows :
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.93.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I have tried all Hard-SPL Standard and Developers versions but I got the same result stopping at 0% including the RUU_Signed.nbh which is designed especially diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally
Please help me

You have Hardspl installed already. You don't need to overwrite it again.

But also when I try to upgrade directly with any cooked ROM I face the same problem
the upgrade stops on 0%
Plz help me if u have any idea

What you show is the shipped SPL - so you will only be able to use offfical (if branded) operator customised ROMs.
more info to follow... (just on the phone)
There is a sticky thread about this problem

If your phone shows this info after you flash hard-spl in your device, you dont have hard-spl in your device at all, so flash that first
you should seen 1.93Olinex forexample if u have flashed the 1,93unsigned hard-spl

My device is not branded....
Do u mean that it will never accept upgrading to coocked ROMs ?
DO u think that there is no method yet ? or we will find new methods in the future ?
alas

No I am not saying that - If you dont have either OliNex or Jockeys HARDSPL then you could only use offical ROMs....etc etc...
So you really need to sort this issue out then you will be free to load any cooked ROM depending on your region
Remember that OliNex's SPLs have protection in them so that you can only update while you machine is connected via activesync.
When you try and Run the olinex SPL then you should get a popup on you devices screen asking you to confirm you want to run this application. Do you get this far?
Have you tried Jockys?

Before flashing Olinex Hardspl you need to do three things:
1. Download Net framework Compact from herehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e3821449-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en Connect device to pc and wait for Active Sync to finish. Now run the download and follow instructions, make sure to install to device and NOT to storage. Reboot your phone.
2. Download and install Cert_SPCS. (Attached).
3. Download and Install EnableRapi. (Attached). On installation of this, your phone might come with the comment that this file is already on the phone and installing this file will remove the old one, accept the new installation and reboot.
Having done the above, you are now ready to flash HardSPL. For further help read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476738
Good Luck this time round.

Never had to this before - but I've never had any issues flashing Hard SPL to devices - over 50 different handsets
Hey, I gotta apologize for my above post. I read the 1.93.000 as 1.93.Olinex.

I was trying to explain that don't try flash (another) SPL using HardSPL as olinex one has overwrite protection.
Flashing ROMs this way is no problem - but not recommended
Upgrading is not possible

I found that this new version of devices is HardCoded with original HTC-SPL
So its seems that upgrading to unofficial ROMs is not possible yet ...
thank u all for your concern

I have Olinex 1.30 and have previously upgraded from ROM 1.34 to 1.93. However, I have tried upgrading the ROM to 2.03.831 but it doesn't work.
Do I need to upgrade the Hard SPL to 1.93 signed? Where can i get the file?
Thanks.
Hello,
try the "RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip" from THIS thread as this was the only one that worked for me. I recently flashed a O2 branded Diamond and was also about to give up...it was my last try/chance and eventually I succseeded in flashing any Diamond ROM until 100%.
...bye DonQ
does it means I have to overwrite my HardSPL 1.30 signed?
Got a new Diamond and same issue, can not hardSPL1.93 Olinex over this new original SPL 1.93.000
Hey I succeeded to work this out!!
Here's what I did:
Download this file: Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip
and this: RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip (you can choose another developer version such as HardSPL_Olinex137_Unsigned.zip)
Now copy the file RUU_Signed.nbh of seconde archive to replace the one in the first archive. Then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe of the 1st archive. As the moment the percentage bar appears, run the SSPL-Manual.exe of the 1st archive from your PDA (of course, this file must be copied to PDA before via ActiveSync).
Just run again ROMUpdateUtility.exe if you have a phone not responding error.
Then there you go...

Ok now, I got the same situation as described above, but the phone's software won't boot. I can just put it in the bootloader mode. I cannot put the SSPL Manual file on the device. How do I reflash it then? USPL said that this version is not supported. Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Hi, can you help me with how to remove the Hard-SPL to upgrade to the original ROM for HTC Touch Pro 2. I'm from Bulgaria, the phone is not locked to an operator (AT & T Orange), etc. What files will I need and how. I also want to download the original Rom from the site of HTC. Thanks in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
All info you need is here.
One note from my experience: first downgrade to original rom then install original spl. I had an issue, it was bricked, but all it needed was to one more time upgrade original rom.
You mean that you must first install the original Rom (I could not download it from HTC's site can help you). And then correct me if I'm wrong:
First you say to install the original ROM.
2nd to download RhodiumSPLRelocker_079SPL.zip unzip it and run. Exe
3rd Stock_SPL_Restore_084.zip to download and in the same way as putting a new ROM to choose it (unzip it first)
Do I need to do Hard Reset at any time? And maybe a little help otkade to download original ROM.
I did this from the link you gave me in boot loadera get out this Oninex, then I load again ROM-a which had previously tried to put my original and gave me an error
The instructions say to flash the stock ROM before you re-lock SPL.
I have failed to: (i already made a re-lock SPL ... now what to do: (
I am still with Energy ROM, which I had to do before re-spl .. in boot loadera now I do not go Olinex 0,85 as before ... what to do?
Sorry for my bad English!

i don't think you can re-lock your phone with custom rom on your phone but what you do is hard_spl it (if spl re-locked) then
task 29 ----> install stock rom ----> re-lock spl
good to go
Isteglih his RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium _4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
this is the right Stock Rom correct me if I'm wrong. Inastaliram it and to 0% gave me an error. - 294 Invalid Vender ID.
But it's not e what I need.
I'm not too far into things ...
Please help, now I can not get no ROM, and this olinex do not write anymore. and gives me an error any attempt to put the new ROM. Now when I work under the Energy ROM ...
Hi
Before flashing another rom, please use the tool called task29. get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Check here for another rom for your device http://rapidshare.com/#!download|33...dio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe|180171
or here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Rhodium
use the SPL relocker tool LAST
Good luck!
Hello, thank you for the help you gave me, but I think we still have a problem (task29). Do the following:
1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191 here I lost my task29.zip.
2 - unzip it, inside there was task29, had ROMUpdateUtility.exe. ROMUpdateUtility.exe and opened as follows next .. next .. me and sticks to 0%.
In the above post I mentioned that yesterday I did relock SPL before I know that I need to do this first (I do not write now in olinex boot loadera). I think from there
:-( you're in bad way. look for some help here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
The solutions mentioned above will NOT work, because you don't have hardspl installed.
Flash Hardspl again and then restore to stock rom and spl.
Guessed for it, but waited for someone to tell me. I will use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 and you will get new and will write what happened. Thanks!
I made myself a new Hard-SPL. After I did task29. After you've installed the new ROM. After I did Relock-SPL. Now everything is OK.
Many thanks to all who helped me!

How did you MAKE a new HardSPL ? When I did this mistake, I had to buy another HardSPL to unlock it because the license I had for the first time was already used up.
