Starting out

I've searched the forum and can't find the answers so am posting here - please don't flame me!
I used to have a HTC tornado and before I could flash custom roms I had to "Super CID" the phone and install EnableRapi.cab before I could change the SPL.
Are these steps required for the Jade? Or can I just Hard SPL and then install custom roms?

As long as you follow the correct procedure while using either USPL or HSPL you will be fine. Only difference between USPL & HSPL is that USPL is temporary and you are required to re-use it before evry flash to new rom or radio and HSPL is permanent so once its on you can continually flash new roms & radios without having to reuse it.
cRaCKwHoRe provided a nice and easy Dummys guide which can be found in my signature. Alternatively there is more information in the wiki
sweet thanks for the information. all these flashing stuff is so confusing. i will try to use HSPL.
Question: im reading the guide right now. I got 1.14.0000, so do i go straight to step 5? or do go to step 1? also do i need to download all these files?

Seeing as your following guide your query should really be in the guide thread and this one could be closed my MOD.
Your answer - If you have 1.14.0000 go to step (5) as guide states. Only download what is necessary.
If you plan to be a constant flasher I would ignore most of the guide as it states at start of it and just flash HSPL 1.56 before flashing new rom.
USPL is temporary and you would need to re-use it before every flash to new rom or radio. HSPL is permanent so use it once and never again!!

URGENT: flashing back to stock for warrenty - all gone wrong

hi
i've need some help urgently on this as the phone is being picked up in the morning and its currently going really bad
i had dutties 3.9 rom on, but i found a 1.19 orange rom in the wiki, so installed this.
however the display is very bad, and is only showing 16 colours so looks rubbish
I belive this is to do with the SPL
This is what i did:
1. put phone in bootloader mode (was displaying SPL 1.56)
2. ran blac_uspl.exe in USB mode which changed the SPL to 1.15 (USPL)
3. installed the rom
did i do something wrong?
any help VERY appreciated
Thanks
Did you tried to flash back your original SPL??
USPL is just a temporary patch of the SPL...
I think you have to flash back to SPL 1.15...
To check if you have the right version put phone in bootloader mode it should displaying SPL 1.15...

You are getting it wrong!
USPL is a temporary patch to allow you to flash a unauthorized ROM!
You have currently SPL 1.56 installed, but you need flash back stock SPL 1.15

i understand the problem now
but the link that was posted talks about hard spl, and when it says about reverting the rom, it talks about using hard spl, which is where i'm getting confused
Could you clarify which steps i need to take as its still showing spl 1.54
thanks

1. dnload the stock spl from the said thread.
2. dnload the hspl 1.56 olinex wrapper
3. connect ur fone to pc in the bootloader mode.
4. run the hspl 1.56 olinex wrapper and do nothing to the onscreen utility.
5. wait fr the files to be xtracted in the window from where u ran the hspl wrapper.
6. replace the self extracted ruu_signed.nbh with the stock spl 1.15 that u downloaded.
7. continue with the ruu utility.
thats all thts needed..

yes you're right, it solved my problem
the reason i didn't try in the first place was becuase the title said HARD SPL and i didn't want to mess it up as i used USPL
i used Restore_Stock_SPL_115.zip and swapped the nbh file after initilizing installation (after extraction) and it worked great
thanks for all your help guys!!!!!!
i really appreiciate it

You can use USPL or HSPL. USPL will change your stock SPL only for a moment, so you can't be worry about warranty.
HSPL will change SPL and replace it. You can also restore stock SPL and delete HSPL from device before you give back device to the service.
but can i use any desired rom straight away? if so, why do i need to know what my spl is?

if you have stock ROM now and you want to change it to e. g. Miri 6.5 v25 ROM which is 1.56 based, you must first install official 1.56 ROM which replace youcy stock SPL to 1.56. Second you can flash it with USPL or HSPL to get e. g. Miri ROM.

Ah i understand, first of all i need new official rom, which is 1.56 and then i can use basically any desired rom. Does flashing 1.56 rom means i'm gonna loose warranty on my phone?

you can get 1.56 ROM on official HTC Website- you You'll not lose the guarantee
but
Every unofficial ROM from XDA it's the loss of the guarantee, but you can restore stock ROM and go to service...

so you have to get deviceID from guy who can download it. Then you can install it using USPL/HSPL

dnload and install hspl 1.56 olinex from the tutorial thread..
no need to update to official rom... jus a waste of tim..
if u dont want hspl then dnload 1.54 stock from the same thread and flash it.
use uspl nex tim onwards to flash new roms.
updatin to officials is a waste of time..
that's exactly what i'm doing right now. Downloading 1.54 update and then will install it and put on dutty'r extreme i think it's called. Is that correct procedure?
Talking about 1.56, what i ment is that i've downloaded updated and it wouldn't install. So guess will have to do it through the bootloader. Am i correct?
Last think i want is to damage my "gem" lol..;-)

well to dnload the update u need a serial number..
nd u always can flash from bootloader as it is the safest way.
the best advise i can give u is install hspl 1.56 olinex..
this is because in future if nethin goes wrong wid ur usb port u still can flash stock rom and spl.
if u use uspl it will not be possible...
and in any case fr warranty purposes also ull change spl from 1.54 to 1.14.
so why not 1.56.olinex to 1.14.
involves the same steps rite!!

Hello guys
I have been dying to flash my blackstone for a while now but i was scared of damaging it.
Anyway i went through all the tutorials (tyvm to everyone) and i think i am finally ready.
I just want to check a few things before i go for it.
Please correct me if i am doing something wrong thanks in advance.
My spl is 1.14.0000.
so i need to upgrade it to official spl 1.54.
Question: 1. I want to use USPL i understand that dosnt void my warranty right?
I downloaded all files in cRaCKwHoRe's TUT
in order to do that.
I have also updated my usb drivers.
I have a copy of Duttys' 3.9 Rom.
Questions: 2. If i upgrade to spl 1.54 from that post i wouldent need to reswitch it ever to 1.14 for warranty purposes right?
3. Are their any risks at all of bricking the device while flashing?
4. I tried downloading the official rom upgrade why did i get a ''this rom is not for your device message"?
5. I read their is a way of flashing from the sd card i understand i need a BLACIMG.NBH file where can i get it is there a Tutorial for this?
6. My phone is Branded should i save/backup the stock branded rom just in case?
Sorry for the long post
Thank you.
