is HardSPL necessary to flash an original ROM

Hi I have a HTC not ORANGE, AT&T, Turkcell etc. TYTN2, which is German and it is not Cid locked.
I want to flash an original English ROM (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar), is it necessary to run the HardSPL or can I just run the rom update utility.
Thanks.

Now don't quote me on this but I think if you're flashing an OEM rom from ATT to an ATT branded phone you don't neeed to update the spl. same is true for the HTC kaiser when flashing an official HTC rom. But, if you wanna flash an ATT Rom to your HTC kaiser, or vice versa, I believe you need to change the spl. Now I'm not 100% sure about this and hopefully one of the senior members can clarify this, but you could just play it safe and switch ot like jocky's 3.29 or 3.56 spl and not worry too much about it.

about tp2 official SPL version

after upgrading my rhodium from 6.1 to the official WM6.5, the SPL also change from 0.84 to 0.87.
i am now planning to flash hardspl then flash another cooked rom, and want to use the official WM6.5 as backup.
so does the 0.79 relocker still applicable to my phone if later i want to restore it for warranty reason?
or should I get a 0.87 relocker? (if so where can i get it?)
thanks alot for answering.

The .079 relocked should work if you re-flash a stock 6.1 ROM.
If you don't have one for your carrier you should still be OK. I'll enquire with cmonex about a 0.87 relocker.
Thread closed, could have been posted in one of many exsisting threads.

Flashing Back to Stock ROM

can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?

if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.

Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.

nevermind what i said there, for sum reason it works again now

I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits

Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that

According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.

As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed

Stock Tilt 2 SPL

I can't seem to find which SPL comes with the tilt 2. I semi-bricked my phone and I need to flash the stock one back before going to ATT. Right now I flashed back the .87 SPL. Can anyone help?

It doesn't really matter. All Stock SPLs are the same as far as manufacturers are concerned, so long as it doesn't say OliNex I don't think anyone will check.
You could always flash the Shipped Exe from your supplier over the current .87 stock SPL.
Any more problems, please ask in the Hard SPL or ROM flashing thread.

Recovering to stock SPL

Hi there,
I want to recover my device to the stock SPL. I have tried to download the stock ROM from the HTC site but it says "Sorry this software is not suitable for the device." Is every WWE ROM the same? If so can I use a WWE ROM from any region?
Thanks

Hey,
What is your device model? It should look like "DIAM100", a 7 letter code. You can see it by removing the battery and looking somewhere near the type.
If you have a DIAM110, then you're pretty much screwed as HTC provides no ROMs for them. You might be able to find the original ROM somewhere here, but I'd be careful or you might end up like me - during the restore of my original ROM I got a "corrupted" error and am now stuck in a stalemate.
If you have warranty though, I would look for your original SPL (hopefully you recorded the version). For DIAM110 it was 1.93. Just make sure you DO NOT restore the SPL until everything else works well. If you screw up your OS and you have the stock SPL installed then you're stuck.

My one is a DIAM100 and I'm running Olinex 1.40 unsigned with SatusROM 2.6. My original SPL is 1.93.

That is strange. So you went to the HTC Worldwide website and chose Touch Diamond? It should work... anyways I've seen a Hong Kong stock ROM here somewhere. But you can try checking here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades. If you need to return it for warranty though, you need to find the original SPL (hopefully you remember version). To install SPL, you need to use Jump SPL (on this site).
