while making ROMs for my MTeoR, i have to re-flash it often.
One (firstly looked like minor) issue was bothering me more and more: SPL sticks at start if SDHC card is in slot. So, everytime i want to re-flash my MTeoR, i have to remove card first and after finishing, i have to insert it again because my customizer reads initial configuration from card.
that's why i made modification for HardSPL.
Now, SPL tries for SD card about 2 seconds and give up if can't and continues to USB mode. Thus, you don't need to remove SDHC card anymore.
i've used hardSPL 7.77.4PDA.
before flash HardSPL, make sure your SPL is 1.10 or hardSPL 7.77.4PDA.
Read Wiki and Breeze forum for more hardSPL info if you're not familiar with it.
I'm not responsible for any damage or brick of your phone. You are doing it for your own risk!
so, to update to this hardSPL:
1) format SD card (2GB or less! 4gb and bigger are not suitable!) with FAT/FAT32
2) copy BREEIMG.hbh to the root of SD card and insert this card to the phone.
3) copy rest files from this archive to root of your phone.
4) start spl.lnk and then imidiately press and hold power + camera buttons
5) phone will switch to softSPL and will start to flash. Since BREEIMG.nbl is small, process will take just couple seconds.
if everything will go right, you will get updated hardSPL.
Turn off phone. Press and hold camera + power button - you should see SPL v8.88.SORG.

hi all , i've tried to flash my trinity (s300) by wmdc under vista 64 but don't work ,also with trinity guides instructions ,( error 260)
So i have tried with Active sync under XP proS2 but don't work too ,same error
And then i have tried Sd card method described on wiki ,but when i put the phone into bootloader it doesn't read TRINIMG.nbh
So i need your help , why i can't upgrade ?
is SDHC card causing this problem ?
Before i was enable to upgrade my phone ,my actual rom is Shap's
Help me please
please close this thread ,
Solution found ,thanks
1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
If not work
copy all file too SD
Run enterbootload
work 100%
First Unlock your CID
doesn't work

Non SDHC. Formatted to FAT32 as a post in the forums said. I've tried Sandisk and transcend since someone mentioned transcend has issues.
It can read the card from the OS, but it doesn't leave the bootloader.
Hi
I am using Cyanogen mod 1.3 recovery.
Have the latest Radio: 2.22.19.26I
I have been trying to install the latest SPL following the instructions here
everything goes fine but if i press the camera + home button, it still shows HSPL10.95.3000
Its driving me nuts..
what am i doing wrong??
Thanks B-man007 .. figured it out finally..
If you have Cyanogen mod 1.3 recovery,
use the following steps :
IF YOU HAVE TWO MICRO SD CARDS:
1. Download the SPL
2. Upload the new SPL on one microSD card and name it "update.zip" and upload the update file of the build that you are currently using on the other microSD card and name it "update.zip"
3. Put the microSD with the SPL update in your phone and reboot to recovery mode.
4. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 5.
5. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone and place the other microSD card in it.
6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update
7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.
IF YOU HAVE ONE SD CARD:
1. Upload new SPL on your microSD and rename to "update.zip"
2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
3. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 4.
4. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone, and plug it into your microSD card adapter/SD card reader
5. Remove/rename the SPL update (to something other than "update.zip") and upload the update file of the build you are currently using onto your microSD card. Put your microSD card back in your phone AGAIN WITHOUT PUSHING ANY BUTTONS
6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update
7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.

Thanks Man
was up all night trying to get that update to work.. made that post half awake
I see all these awesome "ROM's" and firmwares I'd like to have on my phone..and I download them, but I don't know how to install them on my phone.
I'm still running WM 5
Please help!!
anybody help a n00b out? WM5 sucks lol
First, you wanna get Hard-SPL (or HSPL). This allows you to get custom ROMS. Follow this great tutorial by navenedrob here. It will unbrand, unlock, and get HSPL on your phone.
Afterward, take a memory card and format it into FAT32 format. Add the .nbh file to your memory card.
Insert the memory card into your phone and hold down the media button (the one below the volume rocker) and press the reset button (the one next to the memory card slot) with the stylus. This will take you to the bootloader. Press the end key (power button) to start the update. Once the update is done, reset the device.
I would recommend this ROM from navenedrob. It is WM 6.5 and very stable. He is making a new one, but it still has bugs. To get the ROM go here.

Thanks so much! I'm gonna need to buy a memory card for it and then I'll continue on and post here if I have any further questions. Thanks again.
Remember to get an SD card. Not SDHC. Our phone only has a max of 2 GB.
Remember SDHC works but not for flashing I have 4GB microSDHC with adapter which runs fine..
Ya I know but he is talking about flashing to a new ROM.
So the problem is with using SDHC for flashing ROMS, nothing to do with microSD right?
I do have a 1GB microSD with SD adapter and been trying to flash a new ROM for a couple of days with no success.
CheetahUnlocker runs fine for the first 2 steps, but when booting the phone in bootloader with the SD card and a CHEEIMG.NBH file on it, it will not flash the rom ever...
I looked and can not find things mentioning via sd card only via PC. If I am wrong, I am sorry but I didn't find it. Could you attach a link to where it mentions it? What do I name the .nbh?
Yes you can, the image needs to be called BLACIMG.NBH
and you need hspl on youre phone and the mem formatted to fat 32:-o

I just received it today from ebay, does this seem to be already for me to flash it?
It has 6.1 installed
Bootloader screen says
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
Bootloader says "No Image File"
I have the BLACIMG.nbh file on my 1GB card and it's not loading it. I have done it the same way on my HTC Jade multiple times with the same sd card.
I TRIED WITH ANOTHER ROM AND IT WORKED JUST FINE. I don't know what was wrong with the other one but Thanks for everyone's help.
I'm afraid you're not following the right procedure. This should do the job.
1. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
3. Turn off your device . Fully power the device off by long press of power key.
4. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
Make sure you formatted your sd-card.
To enter Bootloader, starting from powered off phone, hold down volumebutton and briefly press powerbutton.
You can also always use the "search" funtion on the forum startpage. Topbar (brown) on the right side.
It's recommendable to hardreset your device after flashing.
Good luck.

I got it to work just fine I used another ROM and it worked just fine. I have also had success with my JADE with no problem. I edited the post before stating what I did to get it to load successfully. Thank You for the assistance though, that is a easy step by step tutorial of how to perform the flash from sd.
I got a kingston card (8gb) it works perfect but for some reason I cant flash from there... I use my backup 2gb scandisk

you're right, this trick will not work with SD-HC cards, only "normal" SD-Cards will do the job

Hi, PLZ HELP ME! i just have run the Hard-SPL v1 on my xperia x1, and it was all fine, but then, i Used the KovskyAdvancedRUU (Task29 mode) in order to fix broken sectors of internal memory, and the process ended OK... but my X1 have restarted, and now,i dont go further than de "Sony Ericcson" screen when i shut it on.... If i go to the BOOT screen, It just stay in the "colours" screen.. (I have the Micro SD whit the ROM named kovsimg in my device.... so, PLEASE HELP! im kind of newie....
ALso, i just have formated the Micro SD card into FAT32, and have the room in the root...
You have done all things correctly until now.
1. Can you check your ROM name at your PC whether is 'kovsimg.nbh' or 'kovsimg.nbh.nbh'? (Correct name should be only one .nbh) I guess you renamed it to double .nbh already.
2. After confirm the ROM name is correct, remove the battery and insert memory card.
3. Put back the battery then press the volume button down, and power button together and HOLD BOTH BUTTONS UNTIL TRI COLOUR SCREEN APPEAR
4. If your ROM name is correct then it should start installation.
Hope this works for you..
HAve done it like 4 times... i checked and everything was allright... i tried with 3 different micro sd and nothing happened.... At the end, i just bored of triyng with the micro sd, and installed the rom with the cellphone connected to the pc (using the RUU kovsky)... but still dont know what goes wrong with the SD....
have you pull out the usb cable from pc when in the boot screen (after you finished perform task29)?
